Commenting on the
reception Nicky Morgan, Secretary of State for Education, received at the
National Association of Head Teachers conference, Labour’s Shadow Secretary
of State for Education Lucy Powell MP said:
“As Nicky Morgan’s lacklustre performance at the National Association of
Head Teachers conference shows, it’s clear that the Tory Government are
increasingly isolated with no support from head teachers for their plans to
force good and outstanding schools to become academies against their wishes.
False claims of freedom and autonomy for heads who would have no choice in
being forced to convert to become an academy were rightly met with
derision.”
