One of the biggest chains of academies in England is to lose control of 10 of its schools
One of the biggest chains of academies in England is to lose control of 10 of its schools.
The decision was made after Ofsted inspectors raised serious concerns about the performance of some schools run by the E-Act academy chain.
E-Act will remain in control of the further 24 academies in its chain, while officials work to find different sponsors for the 10 schools affected.
E-Act, which now faces the loss of a third of its schools, was subject to a mass inspection of its schools by the Ofsted watchdog, with almost half being recently inspected.
Mr Gove told the BBC that it's "right that they should be held to account - and both academy trusts and local authorities have, in the past, been ineffective, at times, in bringing about the rate of change and the speed of change required.
"So where they have been less than effective, we've decided that it's appropriate that action be taken."

Interesting thread title!
As for the report, I can't say I'm surprised, since Academies are not under the same obligations as proper (!) schools.
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

What does he mean 'Speed of change?' - what is so awful about schools that they need rapid, speedy change all the bloody time? Changing into what exactly?
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Jon, are you feeling OK? I think you might need a little lie down.

I was posting from work - Govey spends all day monitoring teachers' email accounts (at least I assume he MUST spend his day doing something )
I'm just back from a meeting where our lovely academy provider has announced it needs to make redundancies because of another 'unexpected black hole' in our financesBazinga !
