It’s worse than Carillion: our outsourced schools are leaving parents frozen out | Aditya Chakrabortty

Primary schools are being turned over to academy trusts with no accountability, and against the wishes of those who know the children best This is a story they don’t want you to know. Much of it had to be prised from the grip of officials in Whitehall and the local town hall. Yet it demands to be told, because it shows how democracy and accountability are being drained from our schools, and how a surreal battle now rages over who knows what’s best for a child: the parents and teachers, or remote officials and financiers. The school in question is Waltham Holy Cross primary in Essex. Helping on a school run last week, I found an entire small world. It was the last day of term, and teachers joined hands to form a human arch. The bell rang and all those leaving to start secondary ran under their teachers’ arms. Parents whooped while staff hugged overwhelmed pupils. There was barely a dry eye in the playground. Continue reading... from The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/...

'AILA'AU: Forest Eater by Page Films https://vimeo.com/pagefilms/foresteater Recommended to watch in 4K or HD in dark environment with quality sound.

The Killers at Glastonbury 2019 review – anthemic headliners triumph

Pyramid stage Brandon Flowers and co – with a little help from the Pet Shop Boys, Johnny Marr and the pyrotechnics department – provide one of those special Glastonbury Moments Catch up on Saturday highlights on our liveblog A band that obviously have nothing in common musically with Stormzy, the Killers nevertheless share a problem: before they play, a shadow hangs over their headline performance. One rumour circulating around the audience is that they were the third choice for the Saturday night headlining slot, drafted in after big name heritage artists declined to sign up. Whether that’s true or not, something about Brandon Flowers’ demeanour onstage, at least initially, suggests a man who isn’t entirely sure how things are going to pan out. “At the end of this show, I don’t want anyone to say ‘They got away with it,’” he offers, early on in the band’s set. “I want people to look up to this stage and say: ‘Those are the sons of bitches that did it.’” Certainly, you’re stuck by...
