A report by Public Finance says Rod Aldridge, founder of Capita and the Aldridge Foundation which runs 11 schools, believes the free school programme poses threats to the academy programme.
Speaking at a roundtable organised by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), he gave an example of a free school opening near an Aldridge Foundation school resulting in 40 pupils moving and potentially putting both at risk.
He said: 'If you take over an under- performing school, generally speaking, it’s not full...' saying that such schools require time and support to improve.
