mobius Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Another first for Bedlington.co.uk http://www.bedlington.co.uk/2010/03/academy-school-proposed-for-bedlington/Could be a good thing if it helps improve education provision in Bedlingtonshire, but there are a lot of questions which will need to be addressed.Would the school be a replacement for Bedlington High School, or exist in competition with it?Who would run it? Charities/religious institutions? What would the ethos of the school be?Academic selection? Would it cream off the best performing students (read the more 'middle class' ones) and leave the rest languishing in the state comp?

threegee Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 is first link broken now?Yeah, looks like it. That would be because we used Wordpress for the news content for a while, but we've now moved on to a fully integrated solution. Now you only need one login site-wide - including forthcoming B-Mail. (Umm... is B-Mail common knowledge now y'all? )Back on thread: well... The Bedlington Academy joins a long list of might-have-beens. Who is to blame on this occasion? Well no one in particular it seems. It's simply a hapless victim of Gordon Brown's phony economic cycle.I'd be more than interested to hear what our new MP has to say about this though.

Merlin Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Mobius whatever replaces Bedlington Community High School would be a good thing: a driving school maybe or even a dole office Or it could even be a secret spy school to train dole snoops, though most of the dole snoops will be on the 'other' side once the ConDem policies kick in HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What GOES around COMES around an' I'll love it absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!
