Alex Reppold, new head teacher of Pocklington Community Primary School, with pupils
A HEAD teacher of Pocklington junior school, Alex Reppold, aged 28 years – what is happening to the world?
He may be an excellent teacher with a fine record, but what does he know about children and their problems yet, at the age of 28?
In our days of teaching, no one ever moved to the pinnacle of head before at least 40 to 50 years of age, when they had some considerable years of teaching behind them.
