Brighton Schools Not for Sale
People may remember how the Barrow Schools Not for Sale launched a campaign against Academies which unseated the mayor and came within one vote of unseating his deputy.
The Brighton Schools Not for Sale campaign is fighting proposals to bring in an Academy at Falmer. They aim to alert teachers and the local community to the known dangers of academies and the loss of democratic control when religious sects or big businesses take over from elected local authorities.
They have a meeting on Wed 16th July at Moulsecoomb Leisure Centre at 4 pm. Any members who live in Brighton might like to go along, particularly those with experience of the anti-academy campaigns in West Sussex.
There is also an online petition
