Karen Buck, a former transport minister, said she will move her son, aged 12, to a local comprehensive after one term at the Paddington Academy.
Ms Buck said the teaching facilities and accommodation were “appalling”.
So the parent - and she has a lot to loose lose as Labour MP withdrawing her child from a flagship Labour schools programme - says the eaching teaching facilities and accommodation were appalling.
What does the DoE say?
The Department for Education and Skills said the academy had made a “sound start” in difficult circumstances.
According to recent BBC Newsnight documentary, the school’s toilets were an alleged health hazard, fewer than half the school’s computers worked, rubbish was dumped on the premises and graffiti was written on the school walls.
One Comment
I always tell my gels to I always tell my gels to spell properly and there is a difference between having a lot to lose and having a lot to loose. Can I also say that the eaching facilities in my school are pretty poor too.
Kind regards
