Untrained guides who tell it how it is

11th December 1998, 12:00am
With 130 parents this year asking for application forms for 90 places, I am going to be busy taking them round the school (“Trial by guided tour”, TES Friday, November 20).

I asked two children to help with the tour - an idea I gleaned from a headteacher when I was a deputy. The two say far more about our school than I ever can. They are not trained and say it as it is, from the heart.
