n a speech to the IAPS annual conference in Jersey, Mr Tranmer said: "It is fundamentally wrong that the government, or more accurately a collection of pseudo-educationalists and bureaucrats, dictate to us – to independent schools renowned for excellence – what we should be teaching.
"We have the experience, the knowledge and the understanding to determine an appropriate curriculum for our pupils and it was a sorry day indeed when we lost that professional freedom. I think we are looking at the thin edge of a wedge and for that reason I shall use whatever influence and opportunity I have during this year to campaign to reverse the imposition of the EYFS."
