Business outlook
Pros
Well funded schools with good opportunities to learn how not to be a headteacher. Biggest plus was being left to own devices in NQT year and learning myself. Better teacher for it now. School promoted me early on which was nice - allowed seamless transition into new role.
Cons
Awful headteacher(s) Even more awful senior advisors to the academy chain. HR department is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Staff turnover understandable. Failing academy chain = stressed and unapproachable headteachers = unhappy and deflated teaching staff.
