Academic Perils

The E Act Academy chain, which includes the two Crest Academies in Dollis Hill, is reported to be having ten schools removed from it because of inadequate performance.  The Crest Academies are not among the ten.

I have pointed out before that when such schools fail, the local authority can be made to pick up the pieces.  Such a large scale transfer does illustrate another area of potential instability, where the management of a school and it's finances can simply be shunted from one overseer to another without any input from any of the stakeholders in the school or the wider community.  This really does not sound like an effective system.
