Shifting philosophies: from Gove to Morgan

Autonomy is the driver of improvement

A thousand flowers bloom

Schools earn more autonomy if they want it

MATs are the drivers of improvementAutonomy, but in a managed, supported wayAll schools should be academies

NiMo

: U-turn / ‘Z-turn’

NiMo

: new powers introduced to trigger conversion of all schools in an area if a council is underperforming or if it is no longer financially viable for it to run schools

NiMo

: we have “seen the unleashing of some truly excellent practice”…” building on Andrew Adonis’s fledgling academies programme”

Budget announcement: “Every school will be an academy by 2022”

NiMo

: no U-turn, only ‘next steps’…

Gibb: “devolution in its purest form”

Slide7

Inconsistencies in policy language

This…

Freedom for frontline professionals

Local authorities don’t have enough schools to be financially sustainable

Schools need freedom and autonomy

Becomes this…

We need tightly managed MATs

We need lots of small MATs

Schools should teach E-

Bacc

, teach synthetic phonics, follow national food standards, advertise 6

th

form options, promote national citizen service

Slide8

Ultimate goals (relating to academies)

DfE

to ensure sufficient supply of good academy sponsors – unclear how

LA roles redefined:Ensure all children have a school place, pupil needs met, parents’ advocateStep back from maintaining schools and school improvementMATs to take a prominent role in organisation of the system

MAT performance will inform their growth or shrinkage (MAT performance tables)TSAs will perform increased improvement delivery functionRSCs will create support plans for underperforming schools (where none exists)

Slide9

How far are we from the academisation goal?

Further away than

DfE

hoped…60% of secondary schools are academies (<50% in NE) – but only 15% of primary schools are 5% of MATs have more than 10 schools; most are much smaller

Teaching Schools is not a well-developed resource (e,g, Sunderland has a Teaching School for every 1,000 pupils, but Middlesbrough has one for every 4,000 pupils)

Slide10

How will the Government increase the number of academies?

Sponsored academies programme , including those who are ‘coasting’ (based on Progress 8)

New schools are (almost always) academies

Forced academisation for all schools in ‘underperforming’ or ‘financially unviable’ local authorities (definitions pending)

?Underperforming?: A local authority is unviable if less than half of pupils in the area attend local authority maintained schools

?Underperforming? A local authority is ‘under-performing’ if the performance of its maintained schools at either key stage 2 or key stage 4 is below the (current) national average for state-funded mainstream schools.

Slide11

Things to consider

Government has raised concerns about local authority size being a significant factor in their not being viable.

What concern is there over the viability of MATs?

Whitepaper suggests 10-15 academies in a MAT leads to benefits of scale…Average MAT size is c. 4 (3.7)

Currently, there are 973 MATs. More needed, but what about speed of growth?RSC capacity: 1 RSC + 2 Deputies (19 new Deputy posts announced)

Major consideration: how will all this impact teaching and learning?
