The academies programme is an under-regulated liability to the education system, and it is our children's future that will suffer.

I am very concerned that an academy could be created in the borough. One of the things I have always liked about the borough is the resistance from the Headteachers of the secondary schools in Tower Hamlets to academies. Let's have properly funded, accountable local schools.
