Pros

parking is decent - shame staff dont know how to drive - more damages to my car in this carpark than anywhere else

Cons

everything if you don't succumb to the tyranny of the SLT and management you are going o be pushed and bullied out. your department leads dont support you, they never have your back, They do what they need to do keep their role and position - there is no one in your corner. they dont like staff being friends and being human, god forbid you make a safe space in your classroom for your students you are not allowed to share any part of yourself that isn't militant teaching. they will make your life a living hell until you leave or until they force you to leave. they will degrade you, make you feel lesser than a person, its so common for people to cry and have mental breakdowns here its become a normal part of many peoples day to either witness their colleagues going through it or experience it themselves. they created a fear mongering culture. they have CCTV in every classroom which they claim is for 'safety' but SLT go and look through and watch footage for fun and then students are getting in trouble constantly for things they may say about other staff. they may have good grades at the end of it all in sixth form but at what cost? look at the turnover rate - 40% last summer - some departments lost over half of their experienced staff - many resigned without roles. wellbeing of staff is not considered in any way shape or form - they have no empathy or remorse for people who may go through life changing experiences, bereavement or long term medical issues - you just become a liability and next on their hit list. back to work return meetings are just there to make the person feel worse about why they may have had time off almost in an attempt to scare them or wear them down into not taking time off again. the departments have no cohesion a lot of the time and people are not allowed to speak about anything without fear of it being used against them

Pros

Hardworking and ambitious students. Good facilities in sixth form

Cons

Unhealthy work environment. Very few opportunities for useful and specific CPD in your subject area. Little to no regard for staff wellbeing, work-life balance and mental health (both staff and students). Unrealistic expectations
