Rapid expansion of Reach2. Unwise to allow such swift growth.
Especially when only about a third of their current 50 schools have been inspected by Ofsted.
Also, will CEO Steve Lancashire increase his salary again from his current £225,000. Last time he increased it by £30k in one year he justified it by saying it was because of the amount of schools he oversaw.
I see Reach got one school. There is also Reach4 which seems to be growing.
What next Reach4thestars!
It is completely reckless of the government to expand the chaotic free school and academy programme when it is proving to be such a mess.
I’m pleased at the lack of invasion where I live (north-east).
