Unfortunately this is what can happen when you give these schools free reign with their budgets
and accounting.
The system for non academies where local authorities award funds after consultation creates checks and balances.
That system is not perfect, but at least it is fair.
In a local authority containing a mixture of academies and local authority run schools funding is not balanced, with academies getting greater sums of money.
This system leads to the elitism that the original ethos of academies – to help struggling schools – was designed to prevent.
