It's supposed to be a school for all, but one of the criticisms of the free schools is that they are monopolised by the middle class and they squeeze out children from other strata of society. Toby is playing into the hands of his critics with type of people that he has on his steering committee. He has not invited anyone from the South Acton estate that's on his to do list. Ask yourselves can we afford this experiment when Boy George is going to take us on a nostalgic trip to the economics of the 1930s? Take a look at Rebecca Allen's paper it is quite succinct and enlightening. As a local tax payer you should know what the new proposals might bring. http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmpo/publications/allen10.pdf |
