3) Academies selecting pupils shock

http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2008/nov/14/government-academies-pwc-inquiry-dcsf In 2003, 45% of academy pupils were eligible for free school meals, compared with 29% at the beginning of this term. Unfortunately, non disadvantaged pupils are easier to work with and their carers are more likely to find improving schools. Similar debates about exclusions http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/zero-tolerance-pays-off-for-head-who-suspends-two-pupils-a-day-1009576.html but who gets excluded.

Again I like it. Let those who want to learn learn!

Maybe they need however to run a programme aimed at those who are constantly getting sent home and then maybe these would reduce too! Who knows!
