THE deputy headteacher of St George's has sprung to the defence of its headteacher who was criticised for grabbing the limelight in the battle to stop it shutting.

   i am 100% disgusted with J's comments, they should come and visit the school, and see what an oasis it is for the local community. you mustn't care about other peoples views, because to us this is a story, and a story of huge importance. how would you feel if your child was forced to travel for over an hour to get a good Catholic education! i think warmisham is just starting to feel a little hot under the collar, as many people are starting to get on st Georges side!! S.O.S.

   Apologies to J, Salford. My last comment was written in haste. I realise I misunderstood the comment about the 'line manager'. Of course Mr Fisher supports Mr Harte because of his position, but also, I'm sure, because he is 100% committed to the school, staff and pupils.

   To J, Salford. If this is such a non-story, why are you taking the trouble to read all about it and respond to it? You obviously have never been to St. George's ~ do you really think it is a posh school? As for teachers leaving their 'pretty rosy niche', words fail me! May I also correct you ~ Mr Fisher is Deputy Headteacher, not Mr Harte's 'line manager'. Incidentally, if you feel so strongly about this subject ~ enough to make personal insults ~ surely you should be brave enough to put your name to it.

   I would just like to say that all these people that are making decisions concerning St Georges need to spend some time there, it is a warm welcoming safe place to work and learn and has for the comment made concerning Mr Fisher defence of Mr Harte thats what a true TEAM member would do !!

   Nonsense triumphalism and idolism of this silly man. Of course the deputy headteacher's sprung to his defence, he is his line manager after all!

This is such a non-story, do the Advertiser staff have children attending this school? No one at any point has suggested that St George's isn't successful. But at what expense? Really they should see new school-building programme as an opportunity to spread their wonderful teaching to the population of more deprived areas, who would best benefit from "inspirational leadership". These new schools will need new teachers also!

Or is this a case of the posh school not wanting to leave their pretty rosey niche? Rough kids? Fear of having to live in the real world?
