:05:48. > :05:51.find out if their programme for the academies works as well for primary

:06:01. > :06:05.as long as academies can work together in groups, they can create
:06:06. > :06:11.the kind of scale that makes sense of being an academy. Academhes are

:06:52. > :06:57.some form of social life. I think the programme has worked re`lly

:07:13. > :07:15.will be outstanding. One te`cher told the committee she had concerns

:07:56. > :08:02.accept that academies have been a hit by summer there are good schools
:08:03. > :08:05.and good academies and also less successful schools in both
:08:06. > :08:14.categories. We are concerned about the cherry picking of evidence.
:08:15. > :08:25.After 154 schools that were found to have below floor targets, over half
:08:26. > :08:28.of them were academies. Is not the National union of teachers bothered
:08:29. > :08:33.about protecting terms and conditions for your members rather
:08:34. > :08:41.than what is best for your pupils? The two go hand`in`hand for me. We
:08:42. > :08:46.must ensure that all our chhldren are given access to the verx best
:08:47. > :08:50.education which anyone involved in teaching the school system would
:08:51. > :08:55.want. The academies are not rather than on that either. But thdy have
:08:56. > :09:08.been effective in improving school standards? If you look at things
:09:09. > :09:12.like City, challenge, which was far cheaper in terms of good and
:09:13. > :09:16.sustainable school improvemdnts that has been more successftl than
:09:17. > :09:20.the academies programme. Here we have schools as islands and you do
:09:21. > :09:26.not get good school improvelent across an area unless you gdt good
:09:27. > :09:32.collaboration. The headteachers have more freedom over staff thex each
:09:33. > :09:35.means they can attract and retain good teachers. Surely if yot're a
:09:36. > :09:40.good teacher, you will be overjoyed about that? We have not seen
:09:41. > :09:44.academies using their peak discretion is to do anything except
:09:45. > :09:48.towards the most senior poshtions in the school so the things th`t have
