So, you can "smell defeatism" in a school that has improved at a higher level than the national average, without visiting it?
Interesting logic.

LIKE THE REST OF THEM
He's actually worse than the rest of them.
Though I wouldn't expect anything less from him. He is another Tory who thinks the working classes are beneaf him.
That would be a reasonable response, were it not for the fact that East Durham's improvement statistics have exceeded the national average for quite a while now. Therefore in order to make such a statement you need something to back it up with.
And I'm a Liberal by the way, thanks for asking
I wasn't addressing you directly jjne.
Where is this report about East Durham schools exceeding the national average for quite a while? I ask because I've only checked two schools so far and neither of them fit that bill.
I did come across this post from a user writing into the Hartlepool Mail.
I did, however, work from Durham County Council for a while, and did some work with the BSF project in East Durham (setting up the network IT services). I didn't notice any lack of aspiration on the part of the staff I worked with on the Education side.
Well it is a bit dumb not to. I suppose the logic is just to accept everything that the Tories do as brilliant even although they may not do anything at all.
