Surely the headline on your story concerning primary schools being turned into academies (Oxford Mail, February 7), reading “This is the fresh start they need” should have continued “like a hole in the head”?
I fear that many of the named “failing” schools may have been listed in error by the county council.
Certainly, the one school I really know about – Larkrise Primary, in East Oxford – can only have been included as the result of some catastrophic error.
Both my sons attend Larkrise and are very happy and well educated there.
