Interest article from education journalist @warwickmansell on his Education Uncovered subscription site. Further evidence that our relationship with DLAT is untenable, the fight to be rebrokered continues. #notrustinourtrust @RosieDBennett @antiacademies
New: parents told that departed CEO was only on secondment, under-pressure Church trust says in statement: educationuncovered.co.uk/new… The strange story of Diocese of Leicester Academies Trust, Swinford school and the trust it almost merged with and with whom it shared CEO and chair.
Thank you @MrsT44236592 what a fantastic community we have! X
That’s how you run a campaign- dignified, respectful and impassioned! Sad that it was needed but hopefully it helps set the standard for other parents to follow when faced with an academy who puts profits before pupils. Bloody well done 🙌@saveourhead
Process paused, redundancy retracted. Now we can concentrate on the way forward. Thank you @AlbertoCostaMP @SnowMartyn for your support in this process so far.
Save Our Head Campaign is delighted with the news today that #DLATinterimboardintervened and stopped the redundancy process, Edy O’Connor will remain the FULL TIME Head at Swinford School. We would like to thank in particular @AlbertoCostaMP and @SnowMartyn for their support.

Why I love Mr O quote No.1
This Swinford pupil tells us what is so great about Mr O'Connor and why DLAT's decision will fail them...
"You are the greatest Head Teacher. Everyone does not want you to go because thats how good you are at being a head & we will all miss you loads"

Will the new Directors of #DLAT do the right thing and #pausetheprocess so that the wrongs of the bungled consultation can be put right? We can but hope for BETTER, as that's whst our kids deserve #retracttheredundancy #dotherightthing #incredibleheadmastersdonotgrowontrees

The children all adore Mr O, he is an incredible person and it’s right that the children have their chance to say how they feel. How lovely, he will be imprinted on their memories forever with all the wonderful experiences he has given them 😍#retracttheredundancy #@SaveOurHead

@SaveOurHead @DBELeicester @dmouldsCEO @DLAT_Leaders @DLATSchools Time to reset your moral compass 🧭 don’t you think? #dotherightthing
If I make up some fictitious financial figures, how long until someone finds out?! 🧐🤔🤪It’s a little game I like to play every now and then! It’s such fun! Apart from when the children cry. @SaveOurHead #timetoadmityoumadeupthe6figuredeficit

Critical opportunity for new DLAT Board to repair damage @swinfordschool & relationship w/ parents & governors. Their 1st action must be #pausetheprocess & #retracttheredundancy to resolve in best interests of our children. Let’s see @AlbertoCostaMP @SaveOurHead @RosieDBennett
