I REMAIN incensed by your inaccurate, insensitive, sensationalist headline (Editorial, May 19).

Your portrayal of Christopher Whitehead High School could not be more inaccurate. Since September, 2003, my arrival as Headteacher:

Attendance figures have risen to 91.4 per cent a rise of 1.5 per cent, comparable to all Worcester City schools; Truancy figures have halved; Exclusions have halved; 39 parents have made the choice to move their children to our school after September - all are presently happy.

The Public Inquiry centres around the key decision, does two schools amalgamated in 1983, accommodated on a rambling, archaic site, provide the opportunity for 21st Century education? The quality of students or teachers is not in question.

NEIL S MORRIS,

Headteacher.
