The outcome of this monitoring, together with the outcome of post-mortem examinations carried out by trained vets will be made publically available after the culls are completed, and will inform the decisions made about next steps.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Academies, just like all schools, are subject to strong accountability, both to government and locally, including parents. All academies are subject to Ofsted inspection, and through Parent View parents can tell Ofsted what they think about their child’s school, from the quality of teaching to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. If a parent has concerns about their child’s school they can raise with the Education Funding Agency who can investigate.</p> more like this
