Abstract
The provision and organisation of Local Authority education is being eroded as a result of a number of central government initiatives. This article outlines the practical effect on a number of comprehensive schools and their LEA of the opening of a City Technology College. It considers their response to the establishment of what is, in effect, a new school. The CTC is competing for pupils, but it is operating outside the controls imposed by the traditional system and the article considers the impact that this initiative is likely to have on the institutions concerned.
