I agree.  He is an absolute waste of space and hopefully after the Tories lose substantial support and are kicked out of government, he'll have to return to his 'reward' in the House of Lords.  Hopefully, there, he will have limited influence on the real world, especially as now the government is making more of a stance against their attempts to prevent changes being made, like the attempts to impose limited removals of illegals to Rwanda.
Whether they will eventually manage to send a few of our unwanted, I don't know.

Excellent news.
I do hope that other schools, which benefit from a similarly driven and very sensible head, try to make the same moves.
Ideally, it will need much publicity and reporting in the media in order to make people realise that such a change, an improvement, can actually be made.
Of course, it really depends upon location, naming no names of course!

Warning: Don't come to rely on this decision to mean a 'sea change' for the future, too many 'wokes' in the system I fear ...

But this time it sank
And it tasted quite rank

Thank goodness, Common Sense prevails ✔ 

That is great news!  A school with a great ethos, so glad they won.

Well done the Judiciary ...

Acton or Ealing perhaps.  Back towards my roots.
