THE headteacher at prestigious Calday Grange Grammar School has been suspended from work.

Andrew Hall was temporarily removed from his job of seven years after a meeting of the school's board of governors late last week.

Pupils took letters home to their parents yesterday informing them of the surprise development.

In a statement, the school said: "The headteacher at Calday Grange has been suspended.

"The matters under investigation are not of a financial or child protection nature.

"Staff and governors will continue to work together to ensure the effective running of the school."

The Globe understands the suspension follows a number of disagreements between the headteacher and the governors.

Deputy head Mike Skelly will take temporary charge of the school, which will celebrate its 375th anniverary in 2011.

Having met the head teacher, I find this very disturbing news. The head teacher at Caldy has a good reputation, is well liked by the staff and pupils, to me he seemed to speak with a great deal of common sense with a true down to earth outlook on discipline and fair play, things I feel are of paramount importance in a boys school.

This news is ridiculous. I am a Calday student. Mr Hall is an excellent Heateacher, he takes a pride in the school and has the respect of students. I don't understand how governors who we never see and who don't seem to take much interest in the students can do this.

I for one, and i think I speak for many look forward to seeing you back soon sir.

Call me cynical but I wonder which particular politically correct boat he rocked.

If you loof at the Calday Justice group on Facebook you will see over 300 students have joined. Surely that says something. There must be some Governors who think what has happened is wrong., for a start the parent governors must be listening to the feelings of their own sons! At Calday we talk about justice, responsibility and fair play alot as important values, its a pity Mrs Twemlow doesn't believe in them!!
