Further to your report on the serious problems facing Broadmead Junior School (Guardian, April 7) it is to be hoped that the Local Education Authority will be honest enough to tell any would-be governor that they will be a governor in name only since the LEA has spelt out its intentions as to how the school will operate.
It is these intentions which the present governors have found impossible to accept.
The record of the LEA over the past three years has been shameful and we, the present governors, are extremely sad that it will be the children's education that will be at stake ultimately.
The LEA's failed attempt to amalgamate the two schools was a masterpiece in bad timing and the present situation is a spiteful attempt to avenge that setback.
