St John Plessington Catholic College

Pros

"Outstanding" school

Cons

This was honestly the worst year of my life. Do NOT do your teacher training here. You are not looked after and many of the teachers go OUT OF THEIR WAY to make you feel uncomfortable and not part of the department. There is no staffroom so you eat in classrooms. No support Unfriendly environment Unrealistic expectations of staff Lack of support for developing teachers. Isolating Trainee teachers used inappropriately for things that shouldn't be their job. I honestly cannot warn you enough, do not do Schools Direct here. University courses provide much more support and make you feel valued and supported as members of staff. No support for mental health

Pros

Excellent student

Cons

Requires far too much paperwork that is unnecessary Not appreciate as a member of staff No staff wellbeing Poor performance management Just about your face fitting not how good you are at your job
