Free School update

Dear friends,

Free Schools are in chaos. Almost every day has seen a new headline concerning the massive controversy over the use of unqualified teachers and the consequences of the 'freedoms' enjoyed by Free Schools.

Yesterday, it was revealed that public support for Free Schools had plummeted from 36% in September to just 27% in October. http://yougov.co.uk/news/2013/10/24/support-free-schools-drops/

We've published a new post on our blogsite which explains why the Free Schools policy has begun to unravel so quickly and why this makes it more important than ever to build public support in Waltham Forest for a community schools alternative.

Please read this and circulate it to anyone you think may be interested, whether they support us or not. Everyone needs to know about this, especially those people who have supported the two proposed secondary Free Schools in Waltham Forest.


All the best,
Jonathan White
Scarlet Harris
Alison Emmett
Kiri Tunks
Mark Holding
Tom Davies
and the rest of us at Our Community, Our Schools
