The co Leader of the Green Party has just launched their manifesto. As part of the introduction he said that there is a noticeboard in the middle of the foyer at his school with three concentric circles on it. On the noticeboard there are pictures of every child. The ones in the centre of the circles have made three levels of progress, The ones at the extemity of the outer circles have made no progress. Is this ever an acceptable way to indicate progress to parents and visitors? I think it is discriminatory and should not be allowed. What do you think? Does it happen in your school? As a Governor I am not allowed to know the names of the pupils who achieve well and less well. Why does any school attach pictures to the children in an entrance foyer and shame them? I am very cross for those children. The co Leader of the Greens said his children were in the centre section and had made three levels of progress!
