Praise for South Tyneside schools……..

……..but questions remain over leading councillor.

At times, I have nothing but praise for councillor Jimmy Foreman the Lead member for Lifelong Learning in South Tyneside, as he has an absolute passion for food young people and his their future weight problems prospects, so really I ought not to trivialise his achievements. He wouldn’t want me to heap additional praise upon him anyway, he would rather I praised and thanked the children, young people, and teaching staff who work so hard to get an improved report from Ofsted. Which, of course, I am only too happy to do - well done everyone!

But the question remains, at just about every available photo opportunity, why is “school dinner Jimmy” pictured next to food, have we ran out of books or something?
