The leadership of Brettenham, Fleecefield, Galliard, Raynham and Wilbury Primary Schools in Edmonton are trying to form a Multi-Academy Trust. We oppose it.

THREAD/ 1. We are devastated to hear that the academisation orders will be signed off on Monday, in spite of huge opposition from staff, parents and community stakeholders - and all this in a week when the BBC have revealed how easy it is to abuse the Academy model.

My job is to lead the learning of children and staff in 2 schools.

But also. My job is to keep them safe.

Because I can’t confidently do that, we won’t be opening to more children on June 1st.

There’s an old definition of the Yiddish word “chutzpah”: a child who kills his parents and pleads for leniency because he’s an orphan.

If parents "use their instincts," they will not be sending their children back to school on 1 June.

The majority of Primary Schools are not part of an academy trust, yet there appears to no leaders from the maintained sector, or serving Headteachers, on the panel advising the DFE about coronavirus guidance.

Poll reveals half of parents unconvinced that school is safe for their children's return. Wider school opening  “chaotic and increasingly untenable”. Mary Bousted, NEU JGS https://t.co/Djzyz7OZvS

BREAKING: SAGE advice to ministers on reopening schools has just been published. This paragraph is key. Scientists warn that, if R is already close to 1 (current estimate is 0.7-1), then even a very careful reopening of schools "could lead to a return to exponential growth".

[EdmontonAgainstAcademies @AgainstEdmonton]

Edmonton schools should NOT be reopening on 1 June.

The safety of children, patents and staff should be paramount.

Wow! There is currently no evidence that age affects the likelihood of being infected with Covid 19 - says the Office for National Statistics.

[EdmontonAgainstAcademies @AgainstEdmonton]

@gorgy2308 @JuliaHB1 Which is a bit like saying "I've closed my eyes and dashed across the main road several times without checking for traffic and I'm still alive. It's perfectly safe."

Pillock.

#CoronaStupid

[EdmontonAgainstAcademies @AgainstEdmonton]

Going back on 1 June places the political interests of the government and the financial interests of MATS ahead of the safety of children and staff.

It is a disgrace.

Hey,Tes you might want to ask us for a comment. WE ARE PARENTS AT THE SCHOOL. He doesn’t like us much but the feeling is mutual. He’s also making it up about the support. We have asked him time and again for a parental ballot at JR. He refuses to engage.

Calling all parents,we have to make our voices heard. This outrageous attempt to facilitate a hostile takeover by the United Learning must be challenged. Cabinet meeting on Wed 12 June at 6:30pm. It is open to the public.

[TheJohnRoanNEU @thejohnroanNEU]

Our schools are being privatised, our students off-rolled, our staff attacked with cuts, workload and bullying. We can't afford to lose one more school to academisation. Please come down and show your solidarity! @Greenwichnut @JohnRoanResists @cyclingkev @MaryBoustedNEU

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

[Baroness Mary Bousted @MaryWBousted]

When Ofsted’s National Director of Education admits that @Ofstednews has been a force for curriculum narrowing and invalid judgements on behaviour, one has to question, given the cost in terms of appalling teacher and leader retention rates, of Ofsted’s continued existence.

[HandsOffWoodsidePrimary @hands_oak]

Our local Multi Academy Trust have annotated a document that our school had published about their meeting. They had asked for this annotated document to be shared, instead, Woodside deleted the original & added version 2, with the conversation deleted #OurKidsDeserveBetter
