A good vocationally minded passionate caring headteacher as described can turn a failing school around. Mr McMorran did it at Ashfield Boys over a number of years. State headteachers put in place by the various Boards have very much 'come up short', and the Boards are not admiiting it. In my experience State headteachers are focused largely on self advancement prestige and money. they often hold misguided views on how to manage staff issues. Without a good headteacher any school is usually on a predictable downward slope.

Andy McMorran turned Ashfield Boys HS over next Sydenham around during his time there. It is very simple you get him and other successful head teachers (ladies included ) to head up a flying squad that goes into troubled schools and offer expert advice on how it is done.
To be fair I received one rather silly email from Mr Storey (which basically made excuses for Mr Dowd's plans and encouraged me to support him! ) After that when Mr Storey found I wasn't sold by his 'argument' he ignored all contact .

It will not change any time soon. I still expect the separate school issue to be here 30+years from now.
