“The Council’s present education policy has failed and continues to do so, and a radical change is required forthwith. Local people don’t want excuses and explanations anymore, they simply want to know what is going to be done to improve the situation.

“I am meeting with senior people in the Council next week and will be asking some uncomfortable questions.”

The council has launched a review of education in the city in an attempt to improve results and attainment for pupils of all ages across Peterborough.
