According to your article on Bayards Hill School at Barton, Oxford (Oxford Mail, June 9), parents are quoted as saying that a brawl between two families at the school gates on Tuesday last week was the last straw.

They have accused headteacher Keith Ponsford of not doing enough to resolve the long feud between the families.

Surely he has enough on his plate without interfering in domestic disputes, even if perhaps he would like to bang their heads together!
