As said in subject a local school that we were discounting because it was in special measures now offers Ebacc. Dd (Y5) strong academically and sadly the choice of schools around our way is not filling me with confidence. Clearly it's not just academic achievement that I look for but that is a large part of it.
I always assumed the Ebacc was a good sign but want your views. Is it a good sign of itself or is it a sticking plaster for other failings in a school? Hoping it's a good sign of greater opportunity for bright kids in a disadvantaged area.
