Really supportive and welcoming community - HLTA Inspiration Trust Employee Review

The majority of staff truly care about supporting children’s learning.

The school workplace culture was extremely toxic, cliquey, and office politics was exhausting. I was harassed by a senior colleague and consistently minimised by senior leadership and HR after reporting my concerns. I was then victimised for reporting the incidents by other colleagues. I didn’t feel adequately supported by management after this incident and I wasn’t able to perform well due to the psychological impact. I can’t speak on the culture of other schools in the trust but this experience was so damaging to my mental health and confidence being new in the workplace.

Some great staff and dedicated teachers

Toxic workplace, cliquey atmosphere, all hot air, no action. Red tape, bureaucracy, exam factory atmosphere. So many meetings with no objective
