CHECK OUT THIS SCHOOL

7 June 2005

The comments about teachers vainly battling to control kids made by the deputy principal at Swansea Institute, Ken Reid, were interesting (Post, June 1). He should visit Dylan Thomas Community School, where staff are in control.

We have a brilliant behaviour support team and a very good support plan, which shows in the improved behaviour and reduced levels of disaffection.

Our exclusion numbers are down from 14 per cent to one per cent. All from a school that Swansea Council wants to close!
