LBC 97.3: Should "every school... have a useless teacher"?

Headteacher Mr Paul Jordan was interviewed on LBC 97.3 on 12th July in response to a national story. When LBC reported that the ex-chair of Ofsted said that "every school should have a useless teacher", breakfast presenter Nick Ferrari asked Paul for his thoughts on the subject. Paul argued that his expereince of Ofsted was extremely beneficial to the school and the wider community. However, with helping children achieve their "very best" there isn't any place for poor teaching. Every teacher and every lesson really does count in providing the best possible educational expereince for pupils.
