Education Algorithm! will Renner-Thompson Help those young people in need (or hide like Wayne Daley)?

 

40% of young people in larger classes above 15 or more are suffering for the rest of their lives through the intransigence of the Boris Johnson Tory Party’s social barrier of Algorithm exam marking.

With the Tories ensuring those from poorer backgrounds are consistently kept as part of the underclass, Johnson and Cummings are hell bent on maintaining the system that is an intrinsic part of their ideal and they have refused to change the system that could ensure a quality future for many of our young.

In Northumberland the Tories former Deputy Leader and education spokesperson Councillor Wayne Daley obviously saw this coming and used the nasty ditching of the Chief Executive of the County Council as an excuse to bail out leaving the beleaguered and damaged Council Leader, Peter Jackson forced to promote a scrutiny chair Cllr Guy Renner-Thomson into Daley’s vacant seat.

Guy Renner-Thompson won’t be remembered on how successful his role is in pursuing his own Government on the chaos they have achieved with A level results destroying the futures of people from primarily deprived backgrounds (and he has GCSE results arriving this week). He will be judged on the mess his predecessor has abandoned so we do need to look at them.

In May 2017 Daley promised to improve schools in Northumberland by bringing in teachers from bed-sits in London without any evidence that they could deliver improvements.

He has poured millions into building an academy school in Hexham while leaving Council schools, Astley School in Seaton Delaval and Holywell Primary to deteriorate further instead of being renewed.

He began a wrangle in the West of the County closing middle schools and delivering on his one model fits all education system across what has to be England's most diverse County.

He has pushed up the cost of post 16 educational transport to an unaffordable level that has begun to stretch budgets and will increase Council tax if its not capped this years.

He has ignored the funding plight of Northumberland College in Ashington allowing Sunderland University to begin an asset stripping program that may lead to its closure.

He promised to deliver a series of ‘Pop up Schools’ and hasn’t.

He ditched the winning fixed price contractor for Ponteland school and leisure centre for a cheaper contractor who has since renegotiated the contract to make it ever more expensive.

In fact we can’t find anything that has been a success in Daley’s reign so Councillor Renner-Thompson your future looks very bleak indeed.
