The headteacher of a troubled Croydon senior school has left.
Croydon Council confirmed this afternoon that Janet Packer, headteacher of Selsdon High, had left her position with immediate effect.
Mrs Packer left the school today after bidding farewell to pupils and and teachers.
She insists that it was her decision to leave but disgruntled parents have been calling for her resignation for some time following a series of incidents involving unruly pupils.
An Ofsted report judged the Farnborough Avenue school as inadequate following an inspection last autumn.
