Rival factions making snowballs for parents to fire. A smallish school where the staff don't have to worry themselves too much about producing exam results and seemingly behave like a feuding group of teenagers, jockeying for position.<br />In what other educational establishment does a double booking of a room ( which can easily happen) make its way to parents' ears? Absolutely ridiculous! Laughable if not so sad. Poor school lines of communication in place, poor lines of management, and very poor lines of staff discipline that allows them to feel free to gossip to parents. No well run school allows this. Having read the article I still can't fathom it - somebody wants to be a governor, somebody else is canvassing to be Principal and tales are literally being told out of school. Do you want the doctors in the RVH to start publically bitching about each other, or the staff in every other school in the country? Because I'm sure they all could you know, but don't - because they are professional grown-ups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-71731117530058716602018-12-08T09:02:26.821+00:002018-12-08T09:02:26.821+00:00@1.48 Would you be one of the governors perhaps tr...@1.48 Would you be one of the governors perhaps trying a bit of deflection.

Speci...What EXACTLY is this parent's complaint? Specifically? A mish-mash of nothing. School politics / office politics...... Teachers unprofessionally blaming Governors to parents. Unprofessional conduct. Little gangs trying to get " their person" the Principal's job etc. " I would do this put the big bad Governors won't let me!" What sort of teachers run tittle-tattling to parents about disputes over the double booking of rooms! There would seem to be a problem in this school, but not necessarily with the Governors!! GROW UP! The day to day running of any school, and the upholding of professional standards by teachers / classroom assistants is down to the Principal. He/she needs to tighten ship, big time. As a parent I do not expect to be involved in partisan, petty squabbles between my children's teachers! The whole thing is just ridiculous!<br />As for the new fad, de rigeur of "Unisex Toilets" well......... BTW Children on the asd spectrum seem to be particularly vulnerable to falling for this new trend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
