Constant change but no improvement

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

School is nicely equipped with mostly good facilities (but not enough printers a real problem for a school that requires teachers to prepare own material day to day)

Cons

Management needs a new approach. Some coordinators don't have much knowledge of what's happening in the school. Teachers are overworked. Lack of resources or support for teachers and students. Human resources are extremely unhelpful. Students' misbehavior has no repercussions from school leadership to support teachers.

Overworked and aggressive management

Pros

- Brand new school - Very nice facilities - Decent school canteen

Cons

- INSANE workload. - Last minute changes, and no apologies for them. - Staff are forced to work ECA's, duties etc... without any concern of staff burnout. - HOS has a temper and can get quite aggressive with staff. - Staff morale is very low and everyone is looking at ways to jump ship. In short, run from this chaotic mess.

Leadership failing, students paying the price

Pros

Salaries arrive on schedule Complimentary lunches Students are a genuine bright spot

Cons

Leadership is aloof, lacking both transparency and credibility A performative culture masks deeper dysfunction; input from teaching staff is consistently ignored No clear curriculum or basic teaching materials—staff are left to fend for themselves Career development opportunities are non-existent; stagnation is inevitable Compensation lags significantly behind peer institutions, rendering the role poor value for the demands placed on staff Leadership shows little regard for staff wellbeing or professional expertise—decisions appear driven by optics, not substance Qualifications among senior personnel are questionable; some lack even baseline teaching credentials Ethical boundaries are frequently blurred: safety measures are performative during inspections, and staff have been pressured to present a false image of the school A legally dubious clause requires staff to accept unilateral policy changes by email without consultation or consent Emotional manipulation and gaslighting are disturbingly common management tactics The mantra “students come first” is undermined by financial decisions that harm both students and staff for the benefit of ownership Ongoing cuts have resulted in abrupt dismissals of long-standing, dedicated employees
