I worked for an American company and the CEO they sent here, changed his contract to a UK one, and was not thinking in relocated back to the US.

Mr Toothe (some kind of Dickensian nominative determinist, clearly) said to the primary school kids at the open evening, as his opening gambit, "I just want you to know that all the scary rumours you've heard about this school from the older children.. ARE TRUE."

The thing that really gets me about this is that Mossbourne is not seen as beyond the pale by DfE or Ofsted, quite the contrary. They should be investigating how widespread this problem is and putting a stop to it.

That says more about adult priorities than children’s needs. When fear is acceptable because it delivers results and connections, the system has lost its ethical compass.

Oh this is the new fashion in school academies, because before you could complaint to the council and be heard, now there isn’t accountability so the close the door when you do in academies.
