Free School updates

Subject: So what is the real problem with Free Schools?
Dear friend
 
Hardly a week goes by at the moment without Free Schools hitting the press. Whether it's flagship Free Schools running into problems with Ofsted or accused of financial mismanagement, or the latest story about Michael Gove raiding budgets to fund Free Schools and piling scarce resources into minimising the political fallout from their failings, it's arguable that no policy has self-destructed quite this fast for a long time.
 
So just why are Free Schools running into problems with such alarming regularity? Our Community Our Schools has published a new blog post and briefing document that examine exactly this issue. You can read both here:
http://ourcommunityourschools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/just-what-is-real-problem-with-free.html
 
We hope our briefing makes it clear that opposition to Free Schools is not just about them not being community schools or because we just love Local Authorities but because there are real advantages to Local Authority community schools that Free Schools lack and that make Michael Gove's pet schools particularly prone to running into problems. And when we say running into problems, it's worth remembering that that means disruption of children's education and anxiety and trauma for parents.
 
If you know anyone who is thinking about sending their child to a Free School or who is thinking about becoming involved in sponsoring or being a governor of a Free School, we would ask that you pass them this email and direct them to our briefing document:
http://ourcommunityourschools.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/just-what-is-real-problem-with-free.html
 
They have a right to know what the government and Free School sponsoring chains will never tell them.
 
Watch this space:
 
Coming very soon - What's the truth about Waltham Forest's Schools?  
 
Yours
