Up to 1,000 schools in England, including all those rated inadequate by Ofsted, will be turned into academies under plans being published later.

Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said schools would be improved faster by academy sponsorship under the plans.
Labour said the “divisive” bill missed the challenges faced by schools.
