Pros

Absolutely none!

Cons

The worst head teacher I have ever encountered. A bully who has no interest in child welfare. Very unusual to find a headteacher despised by staff and parents in one school. The level of bullying by senior staff to less experienced teachers and parents is astounding ,A disgrace they should be removed asap

Pros

Two pros- Lovely children and supportive parents.

Cons

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the Headteacher. She is a bully! SLT are too scared to confront her behaviour, so they allow her to get away with her discriminating and unprofessional antics. Governors turn a blind eye to the heads behaviour despite several complaints and a ridiculous high turnover of staff.. The thought of working at this school sends shivers down my spine. My advice to anyone considering this school is to run! Run away and never look back. The headteacher will make your life a misery! I hope that someday, someone will realise that this headteacher shouldn’t be allowed to work with people, let alone children! To sum it up, I’d rather work in hell!

Pros

Children are wonderful and parents are supportive. The school is well resources

Cons

Toxic headteacher and deputy lapdog. Very cliquey staff with ‘favourites’. Head is a bully. Divides to conquer. Does everything face to face to avoid a paper trail showing evidence of her bullying. Governors have had several staff leave and make complaints about her in particular but nothing ever done. Unrealistic expectations on staff. High staff turnover. Worst school worked in, in 20 years of teaching.
