"GOVERNMENT plans to force a Coventry primary school to become an academy have been condemned as “arrogant”, as protests mount.
Coventry City Council deputy leader George Duggins also described the move – now subject to an unprecedented High Court challenge by the council – as “appalling” and “playing with youngsters’ education”.
Referring to the government’s recent U-turns on taxing hot pasties and caravans, he said: “They want to tell us how to run education in our city when they can’t even get pasties and caravans right.”
Labour councillor Duggins, currently in charge with council leader John Mutton on holiday, ratcheted up the “hands off our schools” rhetoric against education secretary Michael Gove’s plans for Henley Green Primary School.
