I was wondering, can you take a school to court for misrepresentation? When we were visiting schools for Young Finch his current school impressed us and him, with promises of after school clubs, and a decent standard of education, on both of these major selling points they have failed, I am sick and tired with their inability to do anything right, the Head Teacher who I sussed as a muppet early on left pretty sharpish, since then we have had a several temporary replacements, no reasons for the muppet leaving, he just went very quickly. Now if he left for a new job then surely he would have worked his notice? and they would have had time to replace him, but I suspect he was pushed, because the school is quite clearly failing, so if he was that bad I do hope he finds alternative employment outside of education. Now there are very strong rumours that the school is in the last chance saloon, and Greenwich Council are threatening possible closure, now this worries me as there are precious few schools in Greenwich, and they are full to the brim, so god knows what they are planning! Looking at the tables there is something blindingly obvious about all this, Greenwich Council have an appalling record regarding education, this Council has been run by the same idiots for way too long, sadly the residents of the borough appear to be too stupid to get rid of them, we fought hard to ensure our Son went to the local C of E school because the 2 schools close to us are useless and over my dead body was he going anywhere near them. Today I received a letter from the school, apparently he has exams next week, in the letter it tells us parents that for the month before the exams they should be studying an hour an night on top of their homework, this letter is about 4 weeks too late! surely the idiot that wrote this should have realised it should have been sent out ages ago, but the letter is dated 17th June, I have had enough, I think its time to start looking for an alternative, as long as its not in Greenwich......
