William Tyndale

Originally published in 1976, it is not often that a primary school falls apart; Willliam Tyndale school in Islington did. Teachers were aligned against teachers, parents against parents, and managers against managers – and all against each other. The resulting inquiry lasted three months, heard 103 witnesses, and produced a mammoth report. What really did take place? Could it happen again? What was the fundamental cause? John Gretton and Mark Jackson of The Times Educational Supplement have written the definitive account which sets the whole story in perspective.
