(From DFE press release: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tackling-underperformance-in-weak-primary-schools)



"More than 400 primary schools were forced to become academies in 2013 for failing to hit government exam targets, according to official figures released today."

"The policy of forced conversion has led to a number of high profile battles, such as Downhills Primary in north London and Roke Primary in Croydon, which both opposed the move."
