Pupils fear the arrival of academies – Really ?

Tried to post this on the News website but something was wrong with the link so am posting this here. Will try on the News site later.

So pupils are worried that they may have to become competetive with each other ???

Well I’m sorry but that is one of the things that is missing from the modern education world. School is a preparation for life. And life is full of competition be it in the workplace or between schools. Why would becoming an Academy remove ties with other schools. You only have to look at big business. Somehow they manage to remain competetive within their particular business spheres but on occasions those same rival companies can forge agreements and work together. Time to wake up young Master Taylor.

On a positive note I would like to congratulate Hayden Taylor for getting involved and in COPS. Its nice to see youngsters taking an active part in their own futures.
