“Are we suggesting that the current easy GCSE cream isn't up to standard so we must now draw from larger areas in order to fill the schools results status in a national league table (how very sad).Surely it is important for all children to feel a part of a community and to enjoy learning rather than becomming a statistic to keep a headteacher looking good and parents having a status symbol of my child goes to King Edwards you know the state funded private school.
