ARK - Tory Peer Lord Fisk (who sits it the house of Lords) - along with investment bankers. The ARK charity hold most of its money in a fund in the Caymen islands and there about 6-8 charities involved - of course Lord Fisk is on the boards of all of them - we should ask him if he's on the board of the Cayman Island company too.
ARK already run 8 academies and guess what - they spent 7.5% less than they were given to run the schools last year - leaving them a nice surplus of over £3 million pounds - wonder if that's in the Caymen islands too?
ARK - spend £285,000 (of the academies funds) on "education consultants" and £0.00 on staff development in the schools - taken from their accounts for 2010!
CfBT - setting up free schools and already controlling academies - they spent 30% on consultancy fees than they did on teaching
And the people on the boards of the charities above - well they are putting themselves on the boards of the schools as well
So are free schools about parents or free schools about investment bankers and tory peers and consultants making lots of money - every penny they take is a penny less being spent on our kids
I don't think I like these changes any more - especially as none of these people are accountable to us - the mums!
