Discovery New School in West Sussex to close by April next year

Ministers pull the plug on funding after 'grave concerns' about standards

School was among the first of 24 free schools to open in 2011

It was placed in special measures by Ofsted in April but did not improve

Luckily none of this will be Gove's fault.

Still it's only taxpayers money being wasted.

Gove is too busy writing the dedications in all those copies of the bible that he ordered for every school in the country.

This one near me has 34 pupils in. They were aiming for 60 first years this first year, but only got 34.

Huge building and playing field.

(There's a primary school next to it so it's not all of that bit of land where the A is..)

Personally I think a bad school closing is an improvement I bet lots of bad state schools have been open for years.

[Bloo Loo]

this implies bad teaching which implies bad teachers and heads..

I guess they will be spreading the badness in their new Public Sector posts/roles at Ofstead.
