School head report will not be published
A REPORT into the controversy surrounding the former head teacher of the Scilly Isles's only secondary school is unlikely to ever see the light of day, it has emerged.
Cornwall Council was asked to prepare a report about the regime of Bryce Wilby, who last May was suspended then resigned from his post at the Five Islands Schools. At the time, there were allegations of financial irregularities, although Mr Wilby, who no longer lives on the islands, firmly denied any wrongdoing and is currently pursuing legal action.
The eagerly anticipated report was due to have been published at the end of January but was withdrawn just moments beforehand.
Council leader Mike Hicks said he had been forced to accept legal advice that the report could not be published.

He told the BBC that he had reluctantly accepted the advice, despite his "genuine attempts to have an open and transparent council".

“It seems to me that this is an excellent example of why transparency is essential, and the cost of lack of transparency is the likely appearance of this report through an unorthodox channel where it will include aforementioned personally sensitive information that, out of decency, would have been removed if it was published in a professional manner.”
