ACADEMY AND FREE SCHOOL RESIGNATIONS

That this House views with concern that the superhead of five London free schools, Greg Wallace, has resigned after an investigation into claims he awarded a contract to a man with whom he had a close personal relationship; notes that Greg Wallace was described as one of the magnificent seven superheads by the Secretary of State for Education; further notes that the trustees of the controversial Al-Madinah free school, labelled by Ofsted as dysfunctional, have resigned; contrasts this with the situation at Kings Science Academy in Bradford where the Principal, Sajid Raza, remains in position even though he has employed several of his own relatives and presided over a regime which issued fraudulent invoices; further notes that the Secretary of State for Education has refused to condemn Sajid Raza; further notes there is a police investigation into Kings Science Academy; and calls on the Secretary of State for Education now to encourage Mr Raza and the trustees of the Kings Science Academy to resign.
