We are short of teachers in infant schools, and we are having great difficulty in getting headmistresses for such schools.
I have been told—and it is almost unbelievable—that some secondary schools seldom allow headmasters or headmistresses to attend governors' meetings.
Instead, the headmistress chose to buy a perimeter fence and some benches.
It has caused concern and anguish among parents of the children attending the school and the concern of a dedicated headmistress and staff.
The headmistress's study is partitioned off from this one common place, and the anteroom to it is occupied by the school secretary.
His task is to please the headmistress and put more people on the dole, whether in his constituency or in mine.
The headmistress did not understand the reason, and spoke to the teacher about this, and asked why it was.
They think that they are witnessing the retirement of a popular headmistress under circumstances that some might regret.
