schools across the country to face forced conversion to academy status - against the wishes of parents, staff and governors

an afternoon winter sun, the elementary school down the hill looks like an ad for the opportunities which includes the city center, multi-ethnic education.

children of different races are run together in the playground, inside the walls are covered with colorful illustrations. The head, Leslie Church, speaks of one of the strengths of the school: giving every child in this depressed area of ??North London - just a few hundred meters from the starting point of the riots in August - access to violin no cello or guitar lessons in Year 4.

The school, which has struggled with last year despite overwhelming happy outside, perhaps at other times the news is encouraging inspectors in September that is better.

the contrary, this institution of 463 students at Tottenham is now apparently on the first line of a struggle for the future of primary schools in England.

faces refuses to be bound by Michael Gove, the secretary of education to become a privately sponsored academy, despite fierce opposition from parents, the Board of Directors and staff.

Last Thursday, David Lammy, the local MP, who was a student here, Gove accused of "anti-democratic and aggressive" act that threatened to erase 100 years of democratic local control to school founded in the late 19th century, at a stroke.

Lammy is collecting signatures for a petition to present to the House of Commons against the plans, while the school is exploring its legal options.

However, the descent, it is in this position because the government says that her English and math test results are not good enough, not alone.

Hundreds of primary schools appear to face the threat of forced conversion in the academies, sponsored outside, reduces high-profile test of the new capacity and views of the Secretariat Education to impose their vision of a new model of government, even when all the people closely associated with the school say they do not. Critics say that Gove is simply to force through a program of privatization, a trend with implications for most if not all, schools in England.

Despite the declines are based on some middle-class families attracted by the philosophy inclusive, creative, but it also has an entry very difficult. About 46% of children are eligible for free meals, while 73% first language is not English. The declines also said to have a significant Gypsy population of Roma children at the national level have the lowest scores of any ethnic group.

When Ofsted visited in January, 92% of parents returned the questionnaires agreed with the statement "I am pleased with the experience of my son in this school."

In September, however, when the inspectors returned, they reported that the declines were improved. Schools are usually given 12 to 18 months to turn around this process by Ofsted.

Now the school faces a different future. Rapids is particularly vulnerable because they have the power to Gove, at a ceremony in Parliament last year rushed to the force in the state of the Academy for the entire school is said by Ofsted to to need "special measures" or a notice for improvement.

Academies are schools established under a private contract between Gove and one of the sponsors typically either the school or private property, but currently non-profit, chain Academy

Gove and Haringey officials, local authorities have been in talks since July. The letters between the Ministry of Education show 10 of the push to convert municipal primary academies sponsored.

This was followed by a letter from Lord Hill after four days, the Minister of Education, Gove, who said he was "spirit" of an order of the academy - set the State of the Academy declines - and use the powers granted to the government under Labour to appoint a new body.

He said the school had been "below the ground level [KS2 Results]" for five years, despite declines in the latest figures ", published three days after the letter sent I see just above the target on the ground - with 61% of children reaching the expected level in English and mathematics - and do better than the national average with underprivileged children

But Hill has asked the governors to write again on January 13 that shows how to pass a resolution to become an academy, "with a sponsor appointed in accordance with the DEA." Griffin said the school should be an academy in September.
