Backlash at Tapton school academy bid

The Sheffield Star reports on the furious backlash over plans for Tapton school to become an academy:

 The NASUWT union says the decision has been taken unilaterally without consulting staff, parents or the local community.
“We hope parents and the Tapton community as a whole will have time to reflect on why they are being steam-rollered into accepting a decision to take their local community school out of local accountability and control,” said Sheffield secretary David Haigh.
