Just an update, after saying ignore league tables, I need to re-emphasise this. King Eddies finished one place behind Walton in the recent published ones based on year 9 pupils who achieved level 5 or above in their SATs, this made them 7th in the County apparently, and comfortably ahead of the other secondary schools in Stafford. Does this mean much? ... of course it doesn't, but it didn't stop me pasting the article on the locker of my colleague who had informed me that he wouldn't let his kids go to Eddies' because it was "sh*t". He did look rather embarrssed when I pointed out that that's where my kids go!
No! lets hope we don't get any more of this kind of good publicity for Eddies, we'll have all the muppets who moved to the Walton catchment area, begging to be let back in to our slum. Well I am building a wall to keep them out, "Eddies for Highfields Kids, not for softy Southerners" We'll have people scrabbling to buy ex-council houses before you know it!
