Kennet School (motto 'Excellence Through Endeavour') really seems to be struggling
http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2014/former-...-must-do-betterHas headteacher Paul ***** lost the plot? And if so, will his salary (£150,000 in 2010) be cut? Hopefully it includes a performance element.

http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2010/old-news-article-12698Of course, Kennet is now an academy so is largely independent of West Berks Council. That's worked out well. Can we expect other local schools who grabbed the extra cash associated with academy status to suffer the same fate? Only time will tell.
*In the first article Mr **** is described as 'Kennet headteacher'. In 2010 he was responsible for both Kennet and Trinity, which is when he gained his 'superhead' status. Is he now just a 'head'?
