Uma Pandya, the headteacher of Sudbury Primary School, has been suspended for allegations of serious misconduct. An investigation is taking place.

However, it has been said that staff from the school have threatened to strike if Pandya is given her post back.

A secret ballot took place at the school where 40 out of 43 workers allegedly voted for her immediate removal from her post as the school's headteacher.

A source told the Kilburn Times, “The chair of governors instigated an independent inquiry because of the nature and frequency of complaints against her [Uma Pandya]. That independent inquiry determined that she should be suspended pending further investigation. It would be unusual to suspend a head without some significant grounds.”
