Birmingham academy schools placed in special measures by Ofstdd to

:00:00.:00:08.

We've spent the day inside Park View Academy to find ott how

:00:09.:00:14.

It does not matter what is written down on a piece of paper,

:00:15.:00:22.

A track record of cancellathons late trains and job cuts.

:00:23.:00:29.

But London Midland gets an extension to its contract.

:00:30.:00:33.

It seems to be being done at the convenience of the Government rather

:00:34.:00:37.

than for the passengers or, indeed, for the train operating company

:00:38.:00:40.

The end of the road for the Bulls ` Hereford United are thrown out

:00:41.:00:44.

We get the World Cup predictions of former England international

:00:45.:00:49.

I think they are very sharp and quick and Roy Hodgson knows

:00:50.:00:54.

Even if they go through the stages by winning one nil over and over,

:00:55.:00:58.

And if the recent thunderstorms have left you less than impressed

:00:59.:01:04.

and with a pessimistic about the future, don?t despair

:01:05.:01:06.

Parents, pupils and staff f`ce an uncertain future tonight

:01:07.:01:24.

after the Government announced it was withdrawing the funding for two

:01:25.:01:28.

Birmingham schools ` and threatening to do the same at two others.

:01:29.:01:31.

Park View and Nansen Primary will losd their

:01:32.:01:34.

cash from Whitehall, while Golden Hillock and Oldknow Academy have

:01:35.:01:38.

They have all been rated in`dequate by Ofsted and put

:01:39.:01:44.

It follows an investigation into schools allegedly targdted as

:01:45.:01:48.

With so much focus on how these schools are run,

:01:49.:01:53.

Our Special Correspondent Pdter Wilson has spent the day at

:01:54.:01:58.

Students at Parkview Academx in Alum Rock are taking

:01:59.:02:03.

Exams are on and results here are very seriously.

:02:04.:02:10.

But these young people are digesting more than just dry facts

:02:11.:02:13.

Their school has been under examination and it's failed.

:02:14.:02:20.

I was allowed inside and no governors or teachers will

:02:21.:02:24.

talk, but I was able to spe`k to Kabir Khan who is 15.

:02:25.:02:28.

His father went to the school, so too do his brother and shster.

:02:29.:02:38.

This school is not inadequate. It is outstanding. It is not mattdr what

:02:39.:02:49.

is written down on a piece of paper. The Government were saying that

:02:50.:02:53.

young people like you were perhaps safe here. That there is potential

:02:54.:02:58.

for extremism because of a narrow kind of education. I have bden here

:02:59.:03:04.

for four years and I do not think I have been unsafe here. I have not

:03:05.:03:08.

experienced anything bad here. I have been getting the best results

:03:09.:03:12.

that I can get. My teachers have been pleased and if there is

:03:13.:03:19.

anything that is bad it was `` would have happened. Do you get a wide

:03:20.:03:25.

broad range of education? Especially that religion is? yes. Christianity,

:03:26.:03:33.

Judaism, seekers, Hinduism. We have been taught about them all. We know

:03:34.:03:35.

to respect them all equally. The Government is to cut

:03:36.:03:37.

the school's funding becausd of supposed segregation of the

:03:38.:03:39.

sexes and an alleged narrow Muslim She came outside to find me

:03:40.:03:42.

and voice her opinion. This school has been given ` bad

:03:43.:03:58.

reputation. I don't like th`t. It doesn't help anybody. What `bout

:03:59.:04:05.

these allegations that girls are treated differently? actually, girls

:04:06.:04:10.

are given an equal chance. Dven more favoured in some cases. The school

:04:11.:04:14.

will supporters just as much as the boys.

:04:15.:04:14.

Education Minister Lord Nash, writing to Tahir Alam,

:04:15.:04:17.

a governor at the Academy Trust said he had grave concerns

:04:18.:04:20.

He criticised the Trust for failing to promote

:04:21.:04:24.

the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils.

:04:25.:04:29.

And for not encouraging the pupils to respect British values

:04:30.:04:32.

of democracy, respect and tolerance of other faiths and beliefs.

:04:33.:04:43.

That letter does not pull any punches. It is clear the Government

:04:44.:04:49.

is determined to take money away from these schools or at le`st away

:04:50.:04:52.

from the people who are currently running the schools. It is `lso

:04:53.:04:58.

clear that the Department for Education is determined to change

:04:59.:05:02.

the leadership here which could mean the replacement of the headteacher

:05:03.:05:04.

and the governors. The Government is saying thd schools

:05:05.:05:05.

are not teaching British values Outside another Academy,

:05:06.:05:08.

theyb were warned their funding to could be cut and parents ard

:05:09.:05:11.

reacting with astonishment. 15,000 children have been affected

:05:12.:05:21.

throughout this investigation and this palaver. Why

:05:22.:05:25.

At one leading Muslim charity, there was a sense of bewilddrment

:05:26.:05:29.

at how the Government have handled this Trojan Horse school crhsis

:05:30.:05:33.

macro we need to look at thdse issues together. We need to unite

:05:34.:05:39.

and address them as one. Whdn we start doing that our young people

:05:40.:05:43.

will have a bit of belief in these wonderful British values.

:05:44.:05:44.

I asked Kabir if the school had prepared him for our intervhew.

:05:45.:05:48.

He said no, his words were his own, whatever the rights and wrongs

:05:49.:05:51.

of the complex and often divisive story.

:05:52.:05:53.

The young people themselves say that they are proud to be British,

:05:54.:05:56.

Cath Mackie is in Birminghal city centre for us this evening

:05:57.:06:09.

A lot of people might be confused with how an academy school differs

:06:10.:06:12.

The schools which have been told their funding could be withdrawn `

:06:13.:06:21.

It means they are funded directly from Central Government and not

:06:22.:06:28.

under authority control. I can talk and debate about its four hours but

:06:29.:06:38.

it is what people do. Essentially they have more freedom. What happens

:06:39.:06:44.

now? the 4th to respond to the ldtters

:06:45.:06:54.

from Education Minister, Lord Nash. But we are expecting the schools

:06:55.:06:58.

involved to mount legal challenges. I spoke this afternoon to

:06:59.:07:01.

an education expert who says we are in pretty new territory herd

:07:02.:07:04.

and we can expect to see sole legal In an ideal world,

:07:05.:07:08.

if these schools are taken over by another trust, it should be

:07:09.:07:11.

a bit like moving house ` you This leaves us with a lot of

:07:12.:07:17.

uncertainty. So for parents of children who are due to start in

:07:18.:07:19.

September, but does this me`n for them? It is a worrying time for

:07:20.:07:23.

them. I spoke to one educathon expert and he said we are in

:07:24.:07:27.

uncharted waters. He is expdcting a legal precedents to be set. He said

:07:28.:07:31.

if an academy is taken over by another trust, in an ideal world, it

:07:32.:07:37.

should be like a house move. That is, contracts exchanged, destruction

:07:38.:07:40.

get to a minimum, kids go to school on Friday and turn up again on

:07:41.:07:45.

Monday and all they see is the change of name. But there is a legal

:07:46.:07:48.

challenge and it could all get a bit messy. 21 schools were caught up in

:07:49.:07:56.

Ofsted investigation with fhve judged to be inadequate. But the

:07:57.:08:00.

report said leadership was outstanding and one of them was

:08:01.:08:08.

Waverley school in both league. We spoke to a head teacher caught up in

:08:09.:08:09.

the Trojan Horse controversx. Bordesley Green in Birmingh`m are

from ethnic minorities, mostly It was singled out by Ofsted under

:08:16.:08:18.

their Trojan Horse investig`tions, but unlike some of the other

:08:19.:08:22.

schools, it ended up being praised. Ofsted also said leadership

:08:23.:08:25.

and management where outstanding, pleasing news for the head teacher

:08:26.:08:27.

of nine years, Kamal Hanif. He believes such qualities `re vital

:08:28.:08:36.

when dealing with governors ` especially if they don't agree with

something the school is doing. If the objections it is abott

managing both getting the vhewpoint of the community across. Because

:08:52.:08:55.

sometimes, governors are not always present a tip of community views,

:08:56.:08:57.

although they may think thex are. The children are taught

:08:58.:08:58.

about many other faiths, thdy go to other countries on exchange visits,

:08:59.:09:01.

but also visits closer to home. With schools in white areas and

:09:02.:09:16.

rural schools work students do not interact his shooters of ethnic

:09:17.:09:19.

minorities, we have exchangds there and their students come and join

:09:20.:09:25.

projects with us. Last time, we had a diversity day I went to a Buddhist

:09:26.:09:28.

centre and we learned about different cultures and religions.

:09:29.:09:34.

Last time, I looked at Hindtism I knew nothing about it beford so I

:09:35.:09:38.

learned about what they belheve and away their religion works. What

:09:39.:09:43.

being said in the news does not really apply to us. Our school is

:09:44.:09:49.

different. Islam is not forced upon us. Everybody gets along. There is

:09:50.:09:54.

no racism or anything like that But even though Waverley is

:09:55.:09:58.

an undoubted success, the head teacher believes the system

:09:59.:10:00.

needs improving to help defhne It's been confirmed that Tr`in

operator London Midland has had The firm attracted strong criticism

:10:04.:10:31.

from commuters after cancelling more than a thousand trains due to

:10:32.:10:35.

a driver shortage. It will continue running tr`ins

:10:36.:10:38.

across our region until March 2 16. Here's our Transport Correspondent,

:10:39.:10:41.

Peter Plisner. It's not been an easy ride

:10:42.:10:45.

for London Midland passengers, with cancellations and late trains a

:10:46.:10:48.

regular occurrence on some routes. Two years ago

:10:49.:10:51.

the company was forced to c`ncel more than a thousand trains after it

:10:52.:10:54.

couldn't find enough drivers. A year later it was forced to

:10:55.:10:57.

apologise Then, earlier this year,

:10:58.:10:59.

the company announced jobs cuts Despite that, London Midland has

:11:00.:11:04.

been awarded six`month extension I am surprised. But apart from a

:11:05.:11:25.

comedy service has been good. Some days it is not so good.

:11:26.:11:27.

And it's passenger concerns that have led to Rail Watchdog to

:11:28.:11:30.

In a statement, the Department for Transport says:

:11:31.:11:37.

"We want the new London Midland franchise to deliver improvdd

:11:38.:11:40.

benefits and services for customers."

:11:41.:11:42.

"The first part of this process involves making use of the planned

:11:43.:11:47.

six month extension option built into the existing contract."

:11:48.:11:56.

The fact is, the Department for Transport have few other options but

:11:57.:12:03.

to extend the franchise to hold the competition and allow other

:12:04.:12:05.

companies to run the chains would have taken too long. There `re other

:12:06.:12:10.

issues to including a remapping exercise that could change the way

:12:11.:12:11.

services are run. This map,

:12:12.:12:13.

obtained by Midlands Today, shows one idea ` routes could be changed

:12:14.:12:15.

to focus on commuters? servhces The proposal would also givd local

Merseyside is real benefits to passengers coming through bx local

authorities controlling the rail services in partnership with

operator. In both those casds, we have now got top performing rail

:12:38.:12:40.

operators and that is what xou want to see in the West Midlands.

:12:41.:12:41.

But any changes are clearly still a long way off.

:12:42.:12:44.

There's already talk that London Midland might be askdd to run

:12:45.:12:47.

trains for even longer ` perhaps until June 2017.

:12:48.:12:49.

We've had plenty of reaction to this story on our Facebook page today.

:12:50.:12:53.

?London Midland make my short commute in to work a nightm`re.

:12:54.:12:58.

When their trains are delaydd you never get an explanation or apology,

:12:59.:13:01.

and, often, when they randomly cancel a train

:13:02.:13:06.

?It's not that long ago there was talk about London Midland

:13:07.:13:12.

being stripped of their franchise due to poor standards.

:13:13.:13:14.

As a frequent commuter on the Cross City line, I can't say I've noticed

:13:15.:13:18.

any improvement since ` so `m completely baffled by the r`tionale

:13:19.:13:21.

Many a time I've left university at 8pm,

:13:22.:13:30.

trudged in the rain to Five Ways in Birmingham, then checked at the desk

:13:31.:13:34.

Then waiting around for an hour or so, freezing cold

:13:35.:13:38.

and soaking wet, to eventually find it has been cancelled.?

and soaking wet, to eventually find it has been cancelled.

:13:42.:13:44.

I travel from Tamworth to London and back fairly frequently.

:13:45.:13:49.

I have no problem with the service at all.

:13:50.:13:51.

The only issue is the short formations in the rush hours which

:13:52.:13:54.

they will eliminate by delivering new trains from December.

Hereford United have been expelled from the Football Conferencd.

:13:58.:14:04.

They'd been given a deadline to today to pay their

:14:05.:14:07.

footballing debts, but a st`tement this afternoon from the Conference

:14:08.:14:10.

So the celebrations were all for nothing? It was a dramatic day. The

:14:11.:14:26.

celebrations afterwards, were particularly intense becausd it

:14:27.:14:29.

seemed as though it was a ttrning point at last. They had big debts

:14:30.:14:35.

and suddenly he was a bit of hope and momentum. But sadly, it was all

:14:36.:14:45.

for nothing. So what happens next? That is a big question. One thing we

:14:46.:14:49.

can say for sure is that thdy will now go down two divisions. But in

:14:50.:14:53.

the conference Premier they also run the next league below them. So it is

:14:54.:14:56.

now the question weather thd Southern league will let thdm in.

:14:57.:15:00.

But they have grave problems. They have not pay their debts or their

:15:01.:15:05.

players since January. They have two players on the book. They h`ve no

:15:06.:15:09.

manager. They are a mess. I try to speak to the club this afternoon,

:15:10.:15:14.

and we do not even know who is running it it David Keyte Rhddick

are happily skipping about without a heavy fleecd on

many others are still sweltdring. Farmers have fallen behind schedule

:16:13.:16:14.

because of the wet weather. They'll also be hoping

:16:15.:16:17.

for more money for their wool this year th`n 1

:16:18.:16:19.

months ago, when the price crashed. Here's our Rural Affairs

:16:20.:16:23.

Correspondent, David Gregorx`Kumar. On this Albrighton farm

thing we can do is she a shdep when they are wet. Will will not store

if the price of the fleece covers And they certainly don't want a

:16:43.:16:46.

repeat of last year's price crash. The wool price has not been that bad

:16:47.:16:58.

thanks in part to the Chinese market. Last year, the Chindse

:16:59.:17:05.

pulled out and so the wool price reflected that. This year though,

:17:06.:17:08.

they are back and the prices have recovered.

:17:09.:17:09.

Our farmers sell 95% of their wool through the Wool

:17:10.:17:12.

If you don't go through marketing boards you can look into sm`ller

:17:13.:17:21.

scale business options such as spinning it and making your own wool

:17:22.:17:26.

products. Such as jumpers or blogs which people make themselves. There

:17:27.:17:32.

is one chap who has even coffins made of wool. He has lined with it.

:17:33.:17:37.

So just be innovative and do what else you can with it.

:17:38.:17:37.

Wool linings for coffins will likely remain a niche market.

:17:38.:17:40.

For now, our sheep farmers will be hoping the Chinese want lore

:17:41.:17:44.

And our sheep will be hoping for a dry spell so they can finally

the temptation to chat in class about the World Cup over thd coming

they're being encouraged to do just that ` and they'll be learnhng

:21:25.:21:27.

been given a country each to study. Here's a flavour of what thdy've

:21:28.:21:30.

learnt so far, kicking Italy has a population of 60 million

:21:31.:21:46.

people. They invented the Phsa in 1860 and have won the World Cup four

:21:47.:21:53.

times. It is the smallest country to ever win the World Cup. There are

:21:54.:21:56.

500 kilometres of beaches in Uruguay. The capital of this country

:21:57.:22:02.

is San Jose. The project's the idea

:22:03.:22:03.

of their sport`mad teacher, and as well as geography, they'll

:22:04.:22:05.

be learning other skills too. They'll be looking at match

:22:06.:22:17.

statistics and 20 work out hf there is a pattern with specific teams.

:22:18.:22:20.

They will look at who has won how money games or points. It is fun and

:22:21.:22:29.

exciting. Will you be able to stay up and watch the game on Saturday

:22:30.:22:35.

night? I hope so. To get to learn quite a lot of facts about countries

:22:36.:22:40.

all over the world. I got Bdlgium which is famous for beer and

:22:41.:22:41.

chocolate. Yes, PE too is dedicated to

:22:42.:22:42.

the beautiful game. I am taking notes and I'm going to

:22:43.:22:58.

write a match report later. I am the match photographer.

:22:59.:23:00.

Teachers here are already planning a similar project based

:23:01.:23:02.

on the Rugby World Cup next year and the Olympics the year after

:23:03.:23:06.

For now though, all these youngsters are looking forward to, is the start

:23:07.:23:09.

:23:10.:23:18.

moving a step closer tonight with a major event in the city cdntre.

:23:19.:23:21.

Birmingham is one of the few cities in the UK with

:23:22.:23:24.

a major Chinese population that does not have an arch.

Birmingham to have an arch because it is an attraction, it brings

Intourist, it brings in mondy. We are the last city... We call
