More detail on Romford High Court intervention

From the Evening Standard: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/education/high-court-puts-brakes-on-east-london-schools-academy-bid-9062335.html

The judge said: "The secretary of state is entitled to take the view that an academy is preferable and it is clearly a matter for him as he is the decision-maker in that regard.

"But it seems to me he has to have regard to the facts of individual cases, and this is an unusual case. 

"There are these alternatives in place which may well produce necessary improvements."

The judge said Ofsted was due to carry out a further inspection....

"It would in these circumstances arguably be premature for the secretary of state to impose an academy order immediately."
