‘The South West leads the way with co-op education’, says an article in Co-operatives South West’s autumn/winter newsletter, describing the ‘huge surge of interest’ in co-operative schools in the region.
It says the proliferation of schools choosing to convert to co-operative structures “may well be a reaction to the Government’s race to set up more Academy schools”. It adds: “The Cooperative Trust model is filling a vacuum as it offers an ethical and mutually beneficial form of school governance that directly involves the local community.”
The short article goes on to say what local co-operatives can do to help schools wishing to convert to co-operative status.
