The Banbury Guardian online has carried an article in which parents of children at Banbury Academy bemoan the fact that academisation has brought major payouts to individuals at the Academy Trust and it’s associated\u00a0 service companies\u00a0 whilst simultaneously they have overseen a decline in exam results (65% to 44% in 2 years)\u00a0 alongside a\u00a0 reduction in provision for students with special educational needs and falling\u00a0 numbers of staff to rectify the situation.

Whatever happened to accountability?<\/p>\n
