He's certainly learned from Katherine in the media department. I wonder if he were a fairly mainstream sort before that?
"Silence in the corridor" isn't exactly some completely new idea. Nor is detention. `Nor is calling kids "lazy" when they're lazy. Nor indeed is putting up marks on the wall.
Yes, but his detentions are on Friday evenings and Saturday Mornings.

Jeebus. I just had a horrific flash-vision : Lee Anderson as Home Secretary.
In fact, Lee Anderson as fucking anything. Aaaaargh.

Is that guy purporting to believe that dyslexia is just laziness? No way does he actually believe that. Like he's got a dyslexic kid who's entitled to extra time in an exam, and he tells them they aren't allowed it?

Actually is this a wind up?
They were inspected last year, and got Outstanding. The Head Teacher was called Eamon Connolly.

St Thomas the Apostle College is a Voluntary Aided Secondary School in the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with its trust deed and instrument of government.
Catholic families will be admitted above all others but, the College does have a considerable number of practising Christians, those of other faiths and those of no faith on its roll.
So not quite your average inner city comp then.
Does the Archbishop of Southwark know you're dicking around playing Miss Birbalbollocks.

It looks like Serge Cefai is the Executive head, which probably explains why he has so much time to be used as a rent-a-gob in tabloid newspapers and on day time TV.
We had an executive head at the last secondary school I worked at. He used to visit the school a couple of times a week, he would wander around the school doing a lot of scowling, he rarely spoke to teachers let a lone teaching assistants and then he would report back to the head before whizzing off in his posh car with the personal registration plate 'DAZZA1' A complete waste of a £100,000 salary.

Yet again, “do-gooders” as a pejorative. Isn’t doing good supposed to be, well…… good ?
I wonder what sort of parent sends their offspring to a school where the Head "declares war" on his/her customers.
