The Boy's school is big enough to have a "secretariat". That is what they do, 4 of them.

The Head motivates, leads, insipires and sorts out probs.

Argument, unfortunately, for either bigger schools or better school funding. His last school was weeny. Hopeless head spent all day filling in forms with one PT secretary to field calls.

Small beer indeed.
The THW's school has a teaching staff of 105 (that includes the "special needs" people), a secretariat of 15 and a "behaviour " team of 24  eeek:

He is in a  small Primary, you are talking a big secondary in WALES!
