Well, thats something I was thinking myself, and wondering whether this was part of some agenda. As a parent I would be strongly opposing such a move towards making Fairlawn an academy and least of all, an Allied Carpets academy. The school has thrived under local authority care and see no reason why it should change. The rate of primary school academy conversions has slowed down from what I understand.

However, no one has mentioned this to the parents so I can assume it is only part of the speculative picture that I'm sure will blossom until the hard facts become known.
