Any news on new head, old has gone.
Deputy acting is really good. He was acting head at ricky as well last year while they sorting things out. Would be good if they can announce him as new head.
Risk new external head unsettle things.

DS2 has ASD & ADHD. The Learning Support department is amazing. I cannot praise them highly enough without resorting to hyperbole. DS2 struggled with many things in primary; friendships, playtime, behaviour etc. At Watford Boys he has found things so much easier. He loves school, and has volunteered to do two things at the open day. He will be playing the clarinet in an orchestra rehearsal and demonstrating a Chemistry experiment in the labs.

The other strength of the school is pastoral care. Also very strong for Maths, Classics and Music.
