John Townsley (Head Teacher - Morley High School) is the classic School Bully. He’s well in with the council and uses his connections to get whatever he wants. The council and schools operate like some Freemason network. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are all masons. Townsley is effectively a finance manager who sees the school as an underperforming commercial business that he has to turn into a successful profit making venture. He will step on anyone in his way. Radio 4 covered the Morley High School debacle and he initially said “We have given parents an opt out. The opt out is that you don’t have to have anything to do with the system whatsoever and that you then heave the responsibility as a mum, dad or carer to provide a very healthy alternative to your child.” Of course this was deemed unacceptable and possibly against the law by The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and an about turn was made by the school but not before the embarrassment of becoming a national media story. His latest venture is to build a floodlit 5-a-side football pitch in the school, apparently as a community venture when we all know it is to make money - after all it will be for general public useage. He is also going to hire the school out to the local leisure centre as they are having a rebuild - how kind but wouldn’t we all rather go to a leisure centre than some School? I’ll certainly be using South Leeds Stadium as it’s always gonna be better than Morley High.

Anyway Townsley is a compulsive liar and can’t stop himself. He has got a very red neck as well (perhaps an indication of his political leanings?)

agreed Alan,It is very dodgy,no wonder parents weren’t asked about consent.
All risk and absolutely no bloody benefits to the kids whatsoever. Kids should come first not bloody money making rackets.
as so many others have previously said,simple just scrap it.jez

Max said…Why is the Headtecher so anxious to impose the biometric system? Is it just an ego trip or is it sinister unwritten orders from above?

Maybe someone held a gun to his head?
The way the system was introduced into the school was definitely dodgy

By photographing and fingerprinting these children without consent, the school has stripped them of their dignity and privacy. Why is the Headtecher so anxious to impose the biometric system? Is it just an ego trip or is it sinister unwritten orders from above?

Is it too much to ask that concerned parents and older pupils protest a bit more loudly or have the British people forgotten what protest is? Back in my 80s schooldays this biometric sysyem had it been around would never have gained a foothold
