Founder blames Gove for free school failure
Andrew Snowdon, the founder of the failing free school in West Sussex, blamed Ofsted and Education Secretary Michael Gove's department for the problems at Discovery New School.
He told Channel 4 News: "The real failing is one of an out-of-control Ofsted and a Department for Education that hasn't always sung from a single song sheet or provided adequate support at the right moments.
"We were trying to do something very different here and always looking for short-term measures and quick results doesn't always produce what you want."
