Steve has just fixed our machine, top bloke, very quick, very honest, very reasonable and talked me through exactly what he was doing which just gives you confidence!

It may be the right thing for Goodrich, it may not be the right thing, an open debate is needed, this is an extremely complex decision for a community with diverse needs. If you look at the recommendations of schools who have successfully converted to academies, they all, without fail, state that consultation with staff and parents in order to carry the whole community with you is the prerequisite for a successful transition. What an extraordinary home goal to send out a letter stating application has already been made without consulting the parents and teachers. Is it just arrogance of a few who think the speak for the whole school or the government creating panic around the summer funding deadline in order to railroad their political ideology through?
