Process paused, redundancy retracted. Now we can concentrate on the way forward. Thank you @AlbertoCostaMP@SnowMartyn for your support in this process so far.
Save Our Head Campaign is delighted with the news today that #DLATinterimboardintervened and stopped the redundancy process, Edy O’Connor will remain the FULL TIME Head at Swinford School. We would like to thank in particular @AlbertoCostaMP and @SnowMartyn for their support.
@KatClarke@AlbertoCostaMP@SnowMartyn That’s how you run a campaign- dignified, respectful and impassioned! Sad that it was needed but hopefully it helps set the standard for other parents to follow when faced with an academy who puts profits before pupils. Bloody well done 🙌@saveourhead

"You are the greatest Head Teacher. Everyone does not want you to go because thats how good you are at being a head & we will all miss you loads"
@JamieCourt1972 @SaveOurHead@AlbertoCostaMP @antiacademies @reachleicester The children all adore Mr O, he is an incredible person and it’s right that the children have their chance to say how they feel. How lovely, he will be imprinted on their memories forever with all the wonderful experiences he has given them 😍#retracttheredundancy #@SaveOurHead
