I was a parent at this school, until we took our child out. My wife always said that there was something amiss about that man. She could never quite put her finger on it. Other posters have labelled him as 'slippy' and 'oily', which I would agree with. In fact, I would go as far to say that he is also a racist and a bully. We distinctly remember him bleating on, that there would be 300 students within a year at the school.

Funnily enough, just this weekend we were just talking with a friend of ours, who still has a child/children at the school. We talked about how, it has been over two years since Swan has been running the school, and guess what - the numbers are still the same. This is not a new school anymore, and it has been open a considerable time. MIS has been open the same amount of time, and they are packed with kids. How can Swan not get it right? We remember him being hailed as the 'best thing ever' and somewhat of an 'expert'. Well, we didn't see any great displays of expertise whilst we were at the school. We saw teachers walking out and empty class-rooms.

Rumours abound too, that his lessons were dull, boring and uninspiring. And now we've read that he isn't properly qualified to teach in the UK, and he doesn't have a headships qualification? Is that correct? How could that come to pass? We believe he has tainted the school irreparably in the local community’s eyes. He has had plen-ty of time to work his 'magic' or achieve whatever the hell he promised to do, and, as far as we can see, he has failed. Failed spectacularly on all counts.

It is only fitting and right that he is getting some heat for his actions. My wife and I were appalled when we learned that he sacked a pregnant Filipino teacher. We knew that teacher well, and she was a lovely lady who was extremely hardworking. What a deplorable thing to do. The past head teacher would never ever have condoned or sanctioned such actions. Who would? The charade can only go on so long, before Eric's patience and money wear out. Our best guess is that Eric will sell the place off to one of the bigger schools in the area. Because if we are honest, neither Eric or James Swan have the faintest idea what they are doing.
