Yet another stark example of failure in the Government's management of its academies programme - Rayner

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.”
