Can anyone tell me whether, or not, things have improved at this school since new Heads etc were appointed?

The place has gotten worse, The first thing the new head did was sack almost all promoted staff.

This year he has sacked 4 more for various spurious reasons including a massive whitchhunt over a web-site. The school makes many promises and then breaks them on a whim.

The new head made many offers at the Dubai fair and then appointed cheaper staff at the Bangkok fair. The school is offering bounties to any staff member who can convince qualified teachers to come there.

All staff have a 80% teaching load with added after-school activities. The HR staff always refuse to pay the full air-fare, saying that they could have booked it cheaper.

The old Head, Alun Thomas, spent years trying to fight for fair treatment for the teachers and failed. the new Head, Bruce Robinson, tries to outdo the board in treating teachers badly. Secondary has 32 staff, they are advertising 25 of those posts with some staff not knowing they were leaving until they saw jobs advertised. The old staff were then told that it was a contingency measure.

Do Not Go Anywhere near this school. It is a career breaker
