| Quote: The five Perry Beeches schools are expected be “rebrokered” by the DfE and pass to a new chain, the West Midlands academies trust, which is headed by David Kershaw, a Labour cabinet member of Coventry council. A Whitehall source said: “This shows the academy system is working, with the EFA identifying issues and regional schools commissioners intervening and rebrokering effectively, as part of a robust system of oversight.” | |

Why is an academy chain headed by a leading council member? Politicians shouldn't be anywhere near them, that was kind of the whole idea!
And the Whitehall spin... 'These corruption allegations prove that the system is working. Oh yes.'
