Not only is the information vague, it also does not actually suggest any level of improvement - suggestions of money saving through choice of sub-contractors is distressing - these are our children, not a loft conversion or a new car. I strongly oppose this change without a much more detailed propasl which sets out promises to the future students St this school.

There is no education case for it. The move to Academies is an ideologically-driven attempt to privatise state education which removes schools from democratic local control. The "consultation" process has been shamelessly one-sided and undemocratic. As prospective Worthing High parents we will certainly not be sending our daughters to the school if it is an Academy, and will be urging fellow parents to take the same stance.

I don't understand why you wish your child to receive less money per year for their education, just look at Lancing.

Many valuable services currently provided by the LEA will be lost and unregulated and inexperienced suppliers will attempt to fill the void.
An overwhelming majority of the staff at the school have voted to oppose academy status and their voices must be heard by the governing body. There is likely to be an exodus of talented staff from the school if it is forced through. Think again
