Most people running schools really don't like Michael Gove. He won't care: schools are improving.
Our latest survey with The Key network shows that 47% of school leaders are VERY dissatisfied with their Whitehall department. They have never loved the centre much – under Labour some 24% were similarly very dissatisfied and only 2% very satisfied.
But despite their dislike of Gove's political/ideological approach, both parents and indeed heads and governors all agree that schools have improved since Gove arrived in Great Smith Street.
