I WISH to express the disgust and anger I feel each year when I read your publication of the Schools League Tables.

This year, I was particularly distressed to find that Johnson Fold School had the bottom place.

I know that the head teacher and staff of this school are hard working and dedicated, providing a caring environment for all their children, particularly those with special needs.

It is a great pity that the league tables do not reflect other aspects of school life, apart from test results.
