Well that is your opinion and we should not be coerced into following it UTCs are not free schools they are not set up by parents Soem free schools are actually a successor to a previous state secondary school and you never know the next Education Secretary probably Stephen Twigg may allow existing state schools to become UTcs so we can not make assumptions like that The point is is that UTCs have autonomy There is a consensus on this page that the mention of free schools is irrelevant and should be removed
