Bosses will be hoping his stringent approach will result in an equally successful outcome for Clacton Coastal Academy, after Ofsted ruled the school required improvement.
A spokesman said: “There were around a dozen fixed term exclusions on one day. We make no apology for having high expectations on behaviour.
“The vast majority of our students have responded really positively to the changes.
“A small number of students have fallen short of our expectations and we have issued exclusions for aggressive behaviour and defiance which will not be tolerated.
“We look forward to welcoming these students back but on the understanding that they will no longer interrupt the learning of others.”
Hurrah! At last! A school that recognises the effect on the other children who
do want to learn.
But a concerned parent, whose child has been given one of the fixed term exclusions, believes the tougher approach will be counterproductive.
Really?
The mum said she has since decided to home-school her child.
See? It does work! Her hellspawn is now making
her life a misery, instead of their classmates. Job done!

I may be old and maybe my opinion does not matter much but I remember school when we both feared and respected teachers. Bad behaviour in class was almost unheard of, punishment was dished out often on the spot and no parent objected. I honestly can't remember anyone being excluded from school and everyone left school able to read, write and do basic mental arithmetic. Is it possible the two matters are in some way related?
"...I remember school when we both feared and respected teachers. Bad behaviour in class was almost unheard of..."
That's 'progress' for you...
