Steve Sinnott School Quotations

Parents taking children out of school to go shopping or on holiday is very irresponsible and can have a destructive impact on their education.

There is a view that the promotion of greater influence of faith groups in running our schools could be detrimental to community cohesion and social cohesion.

It is pandering to the pushy middle classes at the expense of children in less advantaged circumstances. A period of calm would be more welcome in our schools than yet another period of change.

The idea of allowing youngsters to stay in a school that is just withering on the vine is just terrible.
