@garethkthomas As a dormer Head I used to see so many instances of poor behaviour of young people that could have been avoided if staff had behaved differently. This didn't excuse the poor behaviour but better to have avoided it in the first place.

@garethkthomas Which means that a relationship model can help improve behaviours in a school but is entirely consistent with "firm and fair" sanctions etc.

[Chris Mallaband @CMallaband]

@BarryNSmith79 The issue is that you can do all these things but with a very different underlying set of beliefs etc etc. also - just explain the admissions policy.

@NileGardiner Do we care?

[Chris Mallaband @CMallaband]

@LeeAndersonMP_ But you do earn a lot from outside interests don't you? Don't pretend you are a man of the people.
