I'm left with a feeling that not everything is being reported here, the pupils were hardly featured, those in the background didn't look pleased to be there. Is education all about getting a perfect Ofsted? Will these pupils go on to become model citizens?
None of the undoubted improvements are achievable without the support and agreement of the parents.
