A MIDDLE school headteacher has been elected regional president of a leading teachers' union.
The appointment of Tom Revell, head of Sladen Middle School, Kidderminster, to the two-year presidency of the West Midlands Region of the National Association of Headteachers follows his previous position as president of the union's Worcestershire branch.
"It is a privilege to be elected to the post in the sense that it is the union's biggest region taking in places like Shropshire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire as well as the Birmingham area," he said.
Mr Revell added there were plenty of issues for consideration, including workplace reform, staffing restructuring, extended schools and recruitment and retention.
More locally, he warned that the impact of the changes from three-tier to two-tier education in Wyre Forest would have a major impact on the current generation of schoolchildren.
