It is a deep and fast flowing stretch | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Police and ambulance crews have been on the scene and this evening, | :01:01. | :01:05. | |

We learned this afternoon hd was with a group of friends, | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
swimming in the water, when he got into difficulty. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Apparently he couldn?t swim and he went in with a group | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
of boys and they all held on to him so that he wouldn?t go under. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
So it isn't safe at all, especially for young kids. | :01:24. | :01:57. | |
We have been told the boy who has gone missing is a year nine pupil, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |

A federation set up to lead the way in education has bedn broken | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
up following a series of damning government reports. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
The Barnfield Federation runs a college and number | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
of academies in Luton educating one in five young people in the town. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The decision to split means a summer of uncertainty | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
And today it's emerged that the governor who tried to steer | :02:45. | :02:58. | |
Barnfield throughout its troubled period has reshgned. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
The Department for Education wouldn't comment except to say they | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
are waiting for Barnfield's proposals and will consider them. | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
As an organisation, it was once top of the class. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
The Barnfield Federation runs a college and six academies, | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
teaching thousands of pupils across Luton and Bedfordshire. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
But, since October, there have been three investigations | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
into the manipulation of gr`des and financial mismanagement. | :03:21. | :03:21. | |
Last year, Judy Oliver becale chair of governors, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
aiming to sort out the problems and keep the federation going. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Judy has quit, and is speakhng publicly for the first time. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Do you think the Barnfield problem was it simply got too big? | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Yes, Barnfield has become overstretched. | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
It did a great job locally and some of the aspirations of the | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
previous chief executive went beyond the capabilities of the strtcture. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
The governors themselves were criticised for poor oversight | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
of finances, including a large payoff for Sir Peter | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Birkett, the former princip`l of the college, who left last @ugust. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
The board accepted changes were needed, but felt the Governlent | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Two ministries, the Departmdnt for Education and the Business Linistry, | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
they had to funding agencies, the EFA funding to schools, | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
It was very confusing, very frustrating. | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
Probably made it more difficult than it needn't have been. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
So, what effect will the split actually have? | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
They can continue wearing the same uniform, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
be the same name for several years because it is an amicable solution. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
The benefit to Barnfield College is we can concentrate | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
on further education for those students, we can give them | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
the skills and everything they need to become employable in Luton. | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
It has been acknowledged in partnership with this college | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
has helped raise standards at the academies, in partictlar | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
among pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
After the split, there will be a separate bo`rd | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
of governors and in college and another one in the acaddmy. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
In a joint statement, they said the priority would be to | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
ensure students continue to receive an excellent education. | :05:06. | :05:28. | |
Gavin sugar is the Luton Sotth MP. I asked him whether he thought this | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
was the right idea. I think it is the right dechsion, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
to be frank. The academy should be allowdd | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
to get a new sponsor. They might be worrying | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
about the academic standard. Today, | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
we had praise by the Sutton Trust. It has been praised today | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
for its academic standards, the Sutton Trust has said it is | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
doing very well academicallx. If you look | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
at the performance particul`rly of the two most challenging school | :05:59. | :06:00. | |

responsibility and accountability, In the short term, we need to | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
answer some basic questions. What will the uniform be, | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
the school name be? Who will be providing this | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
education ultimately? As a result of these reforms, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
