Isn't Alleyn's a separate school? Have I misunderstood the article?

If you're talking about the later part of the article, then yes, Alleyns is a separate school. First the JAGS head raised concerns about the culture of Dulwich College students (boys); then the former Alleyns student did the same thing from the students' perspective. Kids move among the 3 schools, play sports, know each other socially...

There was a strong denialist counterreaction from some Dulwich College parents (mostly mums, interestingly), and then Dulwich College tried to brush it off, and leant on COVID laws to stop a protest outside the gates. The initial hushup failed, and they then promised to do a review and publish a strategic plan...which might never have seen the light of day (I stopped watching the issue). So I suppose ultimately brushing the whole thing under the carpet worked

Anyone know what he actually did? Or seen the letter he sent out? 'losing his temper' sounds extemely euphemistic...

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
