Ofsted condemns Academy Chain

As expected, E ACT academies have had a damning report from Ofsted.  Or rather they have had sixteen different reports because Michael Gove does not allow Ofsted to inspect them as a chain.  Is that not perverse?  If a local authority can be looked at as a whole, why not an Academy chain?  After all these large chains of academies are effectively scattered education authorities without democratic accountability or the same safeguards.

Although Gove is doing his best to oppose proper scrutiny, the truth will out, and his full throttle embrace of academies looks like it is turning into a disaster.
