Public meeting on primaries' move to convert to academy status

So far among Brent primary schools  only Sudbury Primary School has voluntarily converted to academy status. Other primaries have been forced to academise after critical Oftsed reports often in the teeth of fierce staff and parental opposition.

In a surprise move Oakington Manor anf Furness Primary schools, part of a 'hard' federation, are reported to be looking to voluntarily convert to academy status.

Teacher unions are organising a public meeting to discuss the issue on Thursday 12th November at St Marks Church Hall, Bathurst Gardens, Kensal Rise, NW10 5HX
