WHERE does discipline start and finish at Bury CE High School?

Although I agree that the perpetrators of the end-of-term pranks described in the Bury Times should be punished, what about the innocent pupils, the ones who haven't even handed in late homework, let alone done anything worse throughout their entire school life?

Was headteacher Mr Grady's decision to send home the whole GCSE year fair to them?

And where does he stand on the matter of exclusions generally, because my son was the victim of a stabbing at his school yet the guilty party has - to my knowledge - never been excluded. My son has suffered emotionally as a result of the incident and I have felt forced to withdraw him from the school. As a consequence, he has been separated from his friends.

Does Mr Grady care?

I think Bury Church school needs a good shake-up and its disciplinary policy reviewed.
