The Latest News on Academies in Northumberland

Bill Brooks
Peter Hillman

Now the latest we have from the leadership at County Hall is that there is to be further consultation in Blyth due to opposition to the Academies.

Divide and conquer they reckon by placing the Academy in the most affluent wards in Blyth – South Newsham and South Beach.

They are now so far from Labour policy as to making a laughing-stock of it at County Hall. They refuse to discuss the Academies at either Group meetings or in Council and County Party? Forget that it hasn’t met since 2005.
No one can blame them though. What happened the first time they allowed their councillors to discuss the single unitary option??????

The policy of the party is to use Academies to drive up results by replacing failing schools and building in deprived areas!
They fail on both scores with that!

Hapless Bill and Peter, hope to lurch on for another two years, when will Labour councillors show them the door, are they frit?
