Common sense has prevailed as England, along with the rest of the world, can now call its education ministry the Department for Education, rather than the previous DCSF.

So far the website is looking very clean, and it may sign the way to a slimming down of the plethora of websites and portals that the DCSF ran.

In an e-mail to civil servants today Michael Gove said: “In the weeks ahead, I want us to offer all schools the chance to enjoy academy-style freedoms so that heads and teachers across the country can be liberated. This will be the focus of the legislation we hope to bring forward later this month.”

So it seems we were right that Gove’s liberalism hasn’t been watered down in the new coalition education policy.
