Haseltine has probably benefitted from being part of the Exec Headship of Robin Bosher, Head of Fairlawn. Its great to see that schools can be turned around within the state system without having to be forced to become academies or free schools as many are being pressurised to under Michael Gove.

I don't know the answer but suspect that in respect of Horniman and Dalmain there has been a bit of a blip. SATS however, are not everything; many schools have even boycotted them in the past in any case. There are also questions also of whether some schools prepare children better than others for test situations.

The free primary at Haberdashers is not as you say providing anything new, but its not a surprise its there given that Haberdashers is already an academy. However I much prefer their sort of ' free school' than one of the pop -up variety that seems to be emerging!
