I would firstly like to congratulate you on what a success you have

been here. The Deane was in need of effective guidance and you led

school and only few permanent teachers for a school. Having been at

the Deane myself, in lessons with supply teachers the class would be

out of control all lesson until the supply teachers would get a senior

member of staff. When the senior member of staff had gone then the
