Pros

Most staff members are friendly if they aren’t too bogged down with work, stressed or busy trying to impress SLT

Cons

Expected to go above and beyond - sacrificing mental health and wellbeing. The school culture is to work hard till burnout. Micromanagement, rigid structures… sucks the joy of teaching
