I'll be completely honest here - I am a primary teacher but this question is in response to an issue that's just cropped up as a parent. We had a letter last week from the school stating their intention to consult about forming a multi-academy trust with several other schools (primary and secondary) in the area. Communication seems a bit crap as some of the other schools haven't sent letters (and some staff were unaware of this, but hey, that's a whole other thing).
There are several professional reasons why I personally think this is not great but as I work in a LA school (at the moment!!), I have no experience of a MAT or indeed, working in an academy. Does anyone out there have any first-hand knowledge of one, either as a teacher or parent? What was the impact at grass-roots level? Most of my knowledge may be terribly biased as I am coloured by the Guardian and NUT and hating the Tories so I'd appreciate any real experience, good or bad...
