Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
My Amendment 428 seeks to confirm what we already know: that the funding agreement gives the Secretary of State all the powers she needs to regulate academies. I thought it was worth refreshing my memory on what is included in the master funding agreement. It covers governance, the running of academies, finance and accounting, and complaints and termination, among many other things. I would have thought that would be sufficient for any Secretary of State.
