Pros

It was great working for Harris in that I was surrounded by great colleagues… and there was a lot of support.

Cons

The pressure to be outstanding all the time feels like a badge of honour and isn’t healthy for staff or pupils.

Thank you for sharing your reflections following such a long tenure with us — we truly value the contribution of colleagues who have been part of the organisation over many years. We’re really pleased to hear that you felt supported and were surrounded by strong colleagues. Creating a collaborative and supportive environment is something we care deeply about. We also take seriously your comments around pressure and the expectation to be “outstanding” at all times. While we are committed to high standards for our pupils, we recognise the importance of balancing this with staff wellbeing and creating a sustainable working environment. This is an area we continue to reflect on and develop. We are actively reviewing feedback from colleagues across the organisation to better understand these experiences and identify where we can make meaningful improvements — particularly around culture, expectations, and how we support and retain our staff.
