IF, as the head of Turton School says, there will be no notable difference to her school when it becomes an academy,what is the point (The Bolton News, March 2)?

All the money spent on changing letterheads, uniforms, etc, not to mention serious matters such as contracts and salaries of staff in all areas.

I see this as another wedge in the door to privatisation where people seek to make a profit from this venture.

Heaven forfend!
