Abstract

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill aims to address a disparity between local authority schools and academies when it comes to a number of issues: curriculum, teacher qualifications, and teachers’ pay. In doing so the Bill aims to make academies just as accountable to the Department of Education as local authority schools are. But Anne West and David Wolfe argue that the Bill doesn’t go far enough in addressing the fragmentation of the school system.
