My girls go to a secondary school academy, last year the deputy head told the students they were bankrupt, so they were trying to think of ways to make extra money, however they have just kitted out the computer suites with brand new computers with windows 10, this winter my girls have had to sit in classes with their coats on because the heating has been turned off, something tells me that maybe they aren't running this school as well as it should be, and why aren't academy's changing school holidays and sticking to state school holidays, the difference of a holiday a week before and after the summer hols are considerably lower, i'll be glad when my 2 leave the school system behind!

..I just read that as 'knitted out' their computer suites, Ruby..I was thinking how inventive and clever that was....(it's because I was having a knitting (ish) conversation with someone at the time..)...mind you, we've sat with our coats on at school/no heating many, many times and we're not an academy school....

...awww, don't feel awkward Nicky, I wouldn't know how the education system in The Netherlands fully works or in many other countries either...academies aren't new as such but they're on the rise atm so we're all pretty much in the learning stage with them....
