The Government/DofE to assign a team to monitor every School Academy

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The Department of Education/The Government need to assign a team of highly experienced people to go into schools to assess each Academy at timed intervals. Schools should not be given any prior notice for these visits.

Having watched the BBC's Academy Schools Scandal last night, it is time for the Government to act in relation to how Academy's are run are how public money is spent. Parents and staff are left frustrated by the lack of experience some of these management teams have and are not running these schools properly. Staff who raise concerns are not being heard by the Academies CEO's or management teams.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

OFSTED is responsible for school inspections. We aren't sure whether you would like a new body to inspect academies, or would like OFSTED to change its inspection procedures.
