The way it has gone for the Condom Gov't makes Michael Gove look like a complete bell end
Basically ran as a business, independent of local authority control.
An Academy receives central Government funding and doesn't need to adhere to the National Curriculum.
Class sizes I my eldests school, aren't dissimilar to the size of my classes (LEA).
A free school is something I am not too sure about, but having had a quick look at the .gov website, they don't seem to different to an academy.
