There was always going to be a heated discussion about how we pave the way for all schools to join strong multi academy trusts through the schools bill.
The question at the heart of all this is how to best make sure every child gets the education they deserve and fulfils their potential. If nobody cared, we’d be in a sorry place.
My approach, and this government’s ambitions, remain as true today as they were in May when we introduced the bill, and in March when we launched the schools white paper. Without them, we cannot meet our goal of every child achieving their potential.
