From the Lancashire Telegraph: 'Nick Kershaw, business manager at QEGS, said the move (to create a 'middle tier' of Regional Commissioners) was a retrograde step. He said: 'The idea behind free schools is that they are free to fail or succeed on their own merits.''
He added: 'I think this is just pandering to fears that the concept might fail without support – but that is the point of the idea. I think the government have failed to have the courage of their own convictions here. It’s not clear how much involvement they will have yet though, and a lot depends upon that.'
The Regional Commissioner for Lancashire and West Yorkshire is Paul Smith.
