Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

It is not sensible to break up successful multi-academy trusts that have transformed the education of children, especially in deprived areas. Where concerns arise around trust performance, there are already mechanisms in place for parents and staff to raise issues and for the department to intervene where necessary. We believe that these safeguards are sufficient and that reversing academisation would be disruptive and counterproductive.
