Angela
Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Education, commenting on news that Wakefield
City Academies Trust has pulled out of running 21 schools a few days into the
new school term, said:
“This
situation will create enormous uncertainty for pupils and teachers at these
schools, who have no idea how their schools will be run in future. Ministers
need to take immediate steps to reassure them that their education will not be
put at risk.
“This
case is yet another stark example of failure in the Government’s management of
its academies programme and reflects on the system as a whole.
“A Labour
government would ensure schools are both properly funded and properly
accountable.”
