Someone posted a video. Some didn’t like it. So, a massive pile on, attacks: personal & professional. Didn’t like the video? Fine. But this response is v worrying. HTs’ mental health hasn’t been far from headlines recently so I’m really shocked/saddened at the response.

Interesting that the journalists and their loyal social media followers, who endlessly attack trusts and leaders who improve schools (which have often spent decades failing children and communities) were nowhere to be seen before these schools were transformed.

Our staff are certainly not foul. This is just awful. How very dare anyone say this. It is insulting to the work we do with thousands of children to transform their lives. This hideous comment is hugely insulting to staff, families and children in our trust and simply not true.

Teacher retention will be an even bigger issue this year, which is saying A LOT! if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
