A 'SUPER head' drafted in to turn around the failing Barnsley Academy has left because of 'very different views' to the school's sponsor on managing students' behaviour.
Roger Burman was brought in to the Kendray school, hailed as one of the most improved in England less than three years ago, after it was branded inadequate by Ofsted inspectors in March.
However, Mr Burman has since left the school after only a month as executive principal.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated May 16. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
