Parents are calling for the headteacher of Shafton Primary school to resign amid reports of discipline issues.
A petition to remove Ruth Lyons, who took over as head in February, is circulating among parents who claim there are problems with children's discipline, bullying among pupils, concerns on teaching standards and a lack of communication between the school and parents.
They are calling for a vote of no confidence.
One parent, who didn't wish to be named, described the school as a 'haven for bad behaviour.'
Chairman of governors at the school, William Howlett, said: "The school had to improve its quality of teaching and behaviour management after going into special measures last year. This has been achieved by the tireless efforts of Ruth Lyons, the headteacher, teaching and support staff."
