That’s how Barclays Bank operated decades ago

Giving parents the choice of where they want to send their kids to school hasn’t helped. I can’t recall my secondary school in the 70’s ever being closed due to weather

Yeah, that would be insanely difficult to implement. And it'd fail just as badly. You'd have to maintain a database of backup staff kept current at their backup school location.

Additional training days for emergency evacuation, physical buildings, Additional needs students, different syllabuses, IT equipment and logins.

Plus who pays the staff? What happens when people still can't get in? No, it's not an idea that'd work.

If only the IT industry had invented FSM software. Are you sure you're an Enterprise Architect?

Old schools were weird. Apparently children used to routinely go home for lunch? Multiple tiny schools with 40 odd pupils each in a small area?

Across 35,000 different companies? **** that.

We're not talking about people working for different branches of the same company, or even NHS staff working within shared common tools, these schools are completely separate entities.

The closest analogy would be a BCP using a competitors hot building, IT estate and customers. But the staff have come from five different competitors.

Yes, the move to strip local authorities of any power over schools by making them into academies is a stupid idea that both major parties have leant into.

We post lady arrived, and another delivery service, so some things still running, but call it an academy or school, the government pays, so he who pays the piper calls the tune.

You are, of course, completely correct Kier, but only in the current system and structures.

WE MUST FOLLOW THE SYSTEM
