Business Outlook
Pros
The students are lovely and the building well maintained. Some great staff who care deeply about their students and community.
Cons
Poor leadership. Bulling culture, from the top down. Ineffective head teacher put in place. Leadership is very much a ‘boys club’. Unless you’re in the clique you won’t progress. If you go for an interview elsewhere you’ll get told ‘you’ll never work for the trust again’. Money wasted on branding and leadership retreats, when we can’t afford TAs for SEND kids. Awful. So glad to be out. Such a shame as kids are fab.
