1) Spending £157 million on new buildings does not guarantee improvements. Knowsley now has one of the lowest pass rates at GCSE in the Country.
2) Renaming the schools 'Centres for Learning' and the teachers 'Performance leaders' doesn't help much either, but gives the rest of us some amusement. Amazingly, the idea of calling the classrooms 'Warehouses' and having 'Democratised Spaces' didn't have the Head of Eton banging on the door looking for tips.
3) Keen to make capital out of this foolishness from the previous Government, Michael Gove declared that:
"Children in Knowsley suffer from some of the worst educational outcomes in the Country."
"Children in Knowsley suffer from some of the worst educational outcomes in the Country."
Educational Outcomes!?! Didn't these used to be called 'results'. He has clearly picked up a bout of the same disease.
Anyone from Knowsley should feel free to comment. (After all, the schools might have been even worse before all this money was spent).
There's obviously a theme going on here as their local Safari Park advertises itself as the 'Best loved' one in Britain- I'm not quite sure what that means either.
