PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Academies (28 May 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, on what grounds parents can object to a consultation process on converting a school to academy status when they do not consider that the consultation is posing relevant questions or adequately seeking opinion; and by what process such an objection can be made.

Asked by:
Rachael Maskell (Labour)

It is the responsibility of the governing body of the school to conduct the consultation in a reasonable and lawful manner. If parents wish to object to the conduct of the consultation they should do so by contacting the governing body of the school.
