Save Our Community Schools, Say No To Privatisation
Saturday 28th January, Assemble 12 noon, Keston Road, N15 (next to Downhills School)

On average, of pupils nationally who got 5A-Cs with English and Maths, 33% achieved Ebacc. In academies, the proportion is 12%.

130 parents, staff, pupils and supporters were at the Save Montgomery School public meeting in Sparkbrook, Birmingham on Thursday 26th January.

Considering GCSE results, Ofsted and exclusions it is clear that while some academies succeed, others fail, and forcing a school to become an academy is no guarantee of success.

35% of the academies entering pupils for GCSE were under the government floor target.
Comparing results for 2011 to results for 2010 shows 27% saw their results decline or remain the same.

The picket line was even bigger than last time with 100 people there, swelled by parents and pupils.
