The new fence at Queen Katherine School at Kendal
In my day school inspectors also came as advisers, and would help implement what needed doing.
When a school is on a limited budget would they advise sacking a teacher to find cash for a fence (Gazette, March 23, 'Fence frenzy').
Today, they just pontificate, and then run a mile.
A school is not run as a factory under HSE rules. It evolves around a complex and subtle mixture of local educational and social needs.
It beats me how any lightning swoop by government lackeys can assume to pronounce in ways that could affect its whole future direction.
