On Wednesday January 16 Mr Justice Collins, a High Court judge, made what may well prove to be a historic ruling regarding the Warren School in east London.
He granted an injunction against the imposition of an interim executive board and an academy order, which would have removed the school's governing body and forced conversion to an academy, until a full consultation had been carried out on alternative support put in place by the local council.
This is the first ruling of its type, in which the High Court has blocked an attempt by the Secretary of State to force a school to become an academy.
