Education – No thanks to God
WORKERS, APR 2006 ISSUE
Northcliffe School in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire has good cause for celebration, having come out of "special measures". Targeted to become one of the new academies in 2004 and destined to fall under the aegis of religious fundamentalists, the school and its community fought to remain a council-maintained school providing a modern, British secular curriculum.
Using slogans such as "Teach us, don't preach us", the school's supporters fought off Blair's mates. Now they've shown they can improve without the need for intervention from on high.
