Oasis School campaign collapses

Dear friends
A couple of quick blog updates from OCOS…
 

What does the collapse of the Oasis school mean for Waltham Forest?In this blog post, we look at what the dramatic collapse of the Oasis school means for the community and the schools in Waltham Forest and look at the next steps for the Our Community, Our Schools campaign:http://ourcommunityourschools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-collapse-of-oasiss-free-school.html
Free Schools and Academies – a policy unravelling in the national pressAcademies and Free Schools have rarely been out of the national press recently. In this short post, we provide a short roundup of recent press stories as more and more problems with the government’s schools policy become apparent every day. http://ourcommunityourschools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/academies-and-free-schools-in-national.html

Finally, a reminder of a fascinating looking event in South London on Thursday this week – an education Question Time focusing on schools policy:http://www.nce2014.org.uk/south-london-education-question-time-27th-feb-2014

We’ll have more on our next campaign steps soon,

All the best,
