AS a parent of one of the children directly affected by the staffing problems at Colebrook Junior School, I must say that I feel these issues could have arisen in any school.

I also have every confidence that all is being done to correct the situation.

I cannot comment on the bullying issue mentioned in your article, but I do respect Mr Vining.

I could not wish for a more dedicated and professional individual to be charged with my daughters' education at this stage.
