Yes, it may have amounted to a large sum of money being spent, but it is a school matter, and it did come out of the school budget. What bothers me the most is, that the Head and Chair, did not inform the other school Governor's. Is this the correct way to run a school? It shows a total lack of respect, for these people, who do after all, give up their time voluntarily. We then hear, that they will not give these people, any information, as to the cost of the trip, or are not willing to meet and discuss it. Then even worse, we hear, that the Chair makes threats, saying they will be sued if they talk to the press. This could have, and should have, been resolved, in house, without the need of damaging the good reputation of the school. <BR/><BR/>2) It is rumoured that Sandon High may be in Special Measures. Well, many schools have been in this position, and it is not a nice one. We could perhaps be a little smug, in all of this, as Longton High is always the school that people look down on, but I for one, hope that the school does resolve its problem, asap. <BR/><BR/>We await the Oracle's next blog.nitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834992101623704366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272174149265458740.post-6024973359698000042008-11-11T16:08:00.000+00:002008-11-11T16:08:00.000+00:00What's this update?

And why would anyone in government listen to Mr Mercer ranting on about Mr Evans' actions and expect them to forcibly remove his MBE? Mr Mercer's status is all in his head - no one in any position of authority will take a blind bit of notice of this egotistical little man.<BR/><BR/>Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you get awarded the MBE after being nominated by someone, for doing good work? I expect Mr Evans got his for services to education, as he has been a governor for so long.<BR/><BR/>Do you see Mr Mercer with an MBE? Oh yes - Richard Mercer MBE (My Big Ego). What a joke.<BR/><BR/>If this is an indication of Mr Mercer's behaviour, it's no wonder The Oracle has so many spies infiltrating the education system to provide him/her with material. They must be falling over themselves in the rush to spill the latest set of beans.<BR/><BR/>It's like a soap opera, and, if it wasn't for the fact that the LA appear to be allowing all this to happen and there is no comeback on Mr Mercer, it would be rather a laughing matter. Unfortunately, whilst all this is going on, how can the staff at Edensor possibly concentate on the job they are there for - ie, educating our kids?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272174149265458740.post-90244941199087534112008-11-11T14:02:00.000+00:002008-11-11T14:02:00.000+00:00If this was private industry, they would all be sa...If this was private industry, they would all be sacked.It is nothing more than a racket that a bunch of overpaid teachers go on a bender at the school's expense.

Longton have just had a great Ofsted inspection (see earlier blog), and they've got a great Headteacher who knows how to get a school out of Special Measures. <BR/><BR/>I bet there are some great governors or ex governors (like the person who's resigned from Edensor), who could take up the reigns at Edensor after Mr Mercer's gone.

When are the public going to be told? <BR/><BR/>Serco/LA seem to change their minds daily on who's doing what, where, when, which all leads to a different ending to that suggested at the consultation meetings last November (2007). But still no mention of any reconsultation taking place. <BR/><BR/>How are parents supposed to know what's happening if they aren't told? But then, as the Edensor story shows, even the governors don't know what's going on, so what chance the parents?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272174149265458740.post-20902772769225716932008-11-11T12:43:00.000+00:002008-11-11T12:43:00.000+00:00Edensor is no longer the lead school on the Parkha...Edensor is no longer the lead school on the Parkhall Academy.
