I am delighted by Eltham Hill's decision to apply for foundation status (News Shopper, November 21). Headteachers are the people who know what is best for their schools and should be allowed to run them as they wish.
The headteacher, Mrs Marjorie Findlay-Stone, says she is doing this to benefit Greenwich education and we should trust her to do so.
Even if Eltham Hill gets its foundation status, the teachers will still be under a deluge of red tape which is getting steadily worse under Labour.
