all from the same school? That's awful, have they said why the mass exodus?

not in so many words but the head went two years ago and they've struggled to find a new one. new one starts in september but obviously we're all worried.

I think you have a right to ask why so many are leaving.

southeastastra · 11/07/2008 15:35

why do they always give these letters out on a friday, there's no one to talk to now about it.

it used to be a great little school then the head left...

Have they broken up for the hols? Perhpas you could write a letter expressing your concerns to go into school on Monday?

Are other parents concerned?

southeastastra · 11/07/2008 15:44
