Save Our Head Campaign is delighted with the news today that #DLATinterimboardintervened and stopped the redundancy process, Edy O’Connor will remain the FULL TIME Head at Swinford School. We would like to thank in particular @AlbertoCostaMP and @SnowMartyn for their support.
@RosieDBennett We absolutely want out, rebrokering is the only option for us. Our relationship with DLAT is untenable. The CEO may have gone for now but we still have no confidence that we won’t be in the same situation further down the line. #notrustinourtrust
@warwickmansell The academy model with its lack of regulation and incestuous relations is truly terrifying. It’s such a big issue facing MATs all over the country, how long is it going to be before the government takes some responsibility for the monster it has created.
Interest article from education journalist @warwickmansell on his Education Uncovered subscription site. Further evidence that our relationship with DLAT is untenable, the fight to be rebrokered continues. #notrustinourtrust@RosieDBennett @antiacademies
New: parents told that departed CEO was only on secondment, under-pressure Church trust says in statement: https://t.co/2yPy5YVTDj The strange story of Diocese of Leicester Academies Trust, Swinford school and the trust it almost merged with and with whom it shared CEO and chair.
Absolutely fabulous day. @foss_swinford thank you all for your hard work and @swinfordschool staff for giving up yet more hours of your time in support. A whole community coming together in joy and celebration of our village traditions - just perfect 😍
Always an amazing event organised by FOSS (Friends of Swinford School) so lovely for the children, parents/carers and the community, come along and support if you are local 😊
DLAT feature very close to the bottom of the table here... another reason why we should be allowed to leave our Academy Trust #notrustinourtrust#ceomustgo#proudtobeswinford https://t.co/ukIVz6PXr5
Our campaign hits the nationals again! One glance at this article shows we are by no means alone in our struggle, but proves even more why we must fight to be free from DLAT, and fight we will!

@hands_oak @JamieCourt1972 That’s the point at the very heart of all of this @hands_oak we have to show our children that they must fight for what is right and that they must not let the bullies win! You have our support, if there is anything we can do please ask!
Academisation, a national disgrace? Inevitable and ultimate tragedy? Or there is always hope that our education system can be and will be salvaged? @educationgovuk
@HandsOffWHX@Denise99046990@DamianHinds @RSC_EENEL The theme continues.. unanswered complaints, lack of communication, being ignored - a monster has been created!
