How much heat some people here have for each other! There's truth in most of the comments - Susan is angry but I am wondering why she is like this. Her comments should be taken with a pinch of salt. She seems quite well informed even if her opinions are a bit wayward. If the contract stuff is true I'd be really worried if I worked there! Maybe Susan is unprofessional, perhaps she is not being treated professionally? Why should people be loyal if they not given loyalty? "The real Susan Chang" you know she(?) can't speak publicly here.

Sherborne's problems seem to be a bit exaggerated and at the board level not in the classroom - I know some parents who are very happy with the school, some a bit less so. Even Susan thinks it will get there! If you are interested, talk to the teachers and parents who will tell you what is really happening in the classroom. If you go there, remember that the head teacher's job is to sell the school.
