In response to the letter from Councillor Debbie Shears, now that the two Merton academy schools are a success, the Conservatives want to claim the credit.
She seems to have conveniently forgotten that earlier this year the Conservatives on Merton Council tried to have the decision on the academies delayed until 2007. That would have delayed the improvements seen at the schools by an additional year.
