It's failings in the timeline that has caused the most upset for many pupils. "Not grasped that? Tough we have to move on..."

One-to-one help for those falling behind was withdrawn (no money), then the same happened for Statemented pupils. Both our twins had to share time with a teaching assistant, and I saw paperwork that showed the 100% help had been whittled down to as low as 15% with the T.A. flitting from pupil to pupil and class to class.

Having complete control of their budgets should have helped many new Academies, but many are spending the money on buildings and maintenance rather than on lessons and students.

We need well-educated people coming out of schools, not fodder for the service industries.
