The start of the end of our state primary education system. Very, very, sad. Heads will have control and 'latitude' - and be accountable to whom, I'd like to know. Each year will bring a different set of parents, so the only continuity will be provided by the'sponsors' - what do THEY know about education and, as they are not direct beneficiaries of the school's services, their reasons for getting involved are Highly suspect
