   Comments: I too am against this speedy approach to Academy status. A full parental consultation is urgently needed so that the school has the opportunity to prove to parents that moving to Academy would be a safe option. I have doubts regarding the school's ability to manage being an Academy and feel there would be a huge loss of support from the Local Authority which would have a detrimental effect on the welfare of students.

   Comments: I do not believe that parents have been given both arguments for and against Academy Status. Most important is that the two thousand parents should decide the fate of the school not some seventeen governors.

   Comments: I am a parent of a Waseley pupil. I do not believe that converting to academy status is in the best interests of Waseley pupils and I am concerned that parents have not been properly informed or consulted about the issues.

    Comments: As a parent of prospective pupils to this school the lack of consultation, justification or courtesy shown by the Governors for the proposal to swtich the school's status is galling to say the least.

    Comments: no parents no school - no parents no jobs - no parents no governors - seems very arrogant to ignore our opinions,not answer our questions and make flippant comments about things that worry us .

    Comments: I am totally against Waseley Hills High School, Rubery achieving acadamy status. I do not believe this is in the interests of the school, it's pupils, it's staff or the parents of the children attending. I do not believe the full story has been given.

    Comments: Making Wasely Hills School or indeed any an academy is a complete waste of time. It will divide the community, encourage selection and eventually increase costs. It is just a ploy to eliminate the local education authority.

    Comments: I am a parent with a child at Waseley. I am against the move to the school becoming an Academy, and do not believe that it is in the pupils best interests to convert. The current situation is yet another sad example of how this school fails repeatedly fails to consult parents on important matters, more concerning in this case, on issues that affect the very fabric of their education. No school should take a decision of this enormity without a complete consultation of fully informed parents, and certainly never passed without a majority vote from those parents.

    Comments: It is clear that the Head and Chair are running their own agenda here as neither appear to know why the need to become an academy although very likely the former will get a payrise. No financial planning apparent even though academies have to cover ALL of their own costs with no LA back-up/support. This includes buildings insurance, tribunals etc. to name but two. Academy conversion has absolutely nothing to do with teaching and learning as national results show it does not prevent OFSTED categories happening nor can it ever affect pupil outcomes.
