Primary school headteacher Tom Ellis might have taken more care with the keys to his

office last Wednesday, if he known what his students were planning. The nine-year-olds,

angry at the bad quality of the school food, locked him in his office and said they would let

him out on if that he agreed to order takeaway pizzas for them. ‘If I had said OK, I don't

know what they would have done. They might have left me in there, in which if i would
have

had to phone for help,’ said Mr Ellis. ‘I admit the school food is terrible, so I can
understand

why they complained. I would want to eat it … if i was starving!’ Mr Ellis has promised to
try

to improve the quality of the food ‘I told them that if it hasn’t improved in a month’s time,
I

will personally pay for another pizza for everyone. I really hope we can do something to

improve the food by then, if not, it’s going to cost me a fortune!
