They are regulated into submission, yet as seen recently with the ' Trojan horse' scandal, some schools turned academy are dangerously under regulated.

Yes of course they are because this new academy nonsense is just another wolf in sheep’s clothing. Academias don't empower local communities and nor do they improve standards for all. It’s a corporate experiment that risks the vital years of our children’s education.
There is no requirement for staff or parents to be consulted and so once again, the public and the workers never got a say in yet ANOTHER privatization process. In my world that’ comes under undemocratic privilege by the seats in Whitehall, but the idea of academies was never about raising standards in education; its about separating the wheat from the chaff and putting money in the pockets of the free marketeers who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."
