Douglas J Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 "Do you think Parkwood High School should become an Academy run by Edutrust?" that's the question we're asking on the Burngreave Messenger website - http://www.burngreavemessenger.org/community/parkwood-academy-proposals/academy-have-your-say/ we've got lots of info about the topic. Anyone with a connection to Parkwood is invited to comment what they think. Please let us have your thoughts.
barmyowls Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 All schools it seems will become a academy anyway
Classic Rock Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 If it improves the school's results then I say go for it. The school is near the bottom of the league table nationally, so anything which will inject some life into it and help improve resources and results can only be good.

Its been proven That academys dont work tho ive read in the paper!!
Classic Rock Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Can you provide a link to this proof? I'm wondering if different newspapers will report different viewpoints on whether they work or not. When you say they don't work, does that mean that exam results don't improve? Evidence please?
barmyowls Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Im sure its been reported nationally , tho i have not got the link. im sure someone on here will find it and put it on
Classic Rock Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Not a very substaniated debate this, is it?
Douglas J Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 Here's today's report in the Star, which says, "The most improved secondary was Parkwood High" Good for Parkwood! http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/See-your-school39s-latest-test.3825569.jp
