CoffeeHousers may like to see the full leaked letter (pasted below) to which I referred
in The Spectator’s cover story this week. It shows how the NUT is using
Freedom of Information to try and force school heads to hand over a list of names of anyone who might support a campaign to opt out of local authority control and become quasi-independent
Academies. We have blacked out any information that may reveal the source. This letter helps explain why Michael Gove will have so few names next week, when he lists the list of schools who have
succeeded in their fast-track application. Out of the 3,000 eligible, a few dozen will have made it. And those schools will likely be the grammars, or those who are well-versed in doing battle with
their local authority and seeing off the union thugs.
It’s worth recapping why this is so important.
