Pros

Nice teachers, thats probably it

Cons

Once a week, leadership go through your books. Meetings or something extra almost every day after school. Staff work to the bone and constantly get scrutinised. They claim that teachers and students get an extra week during october but you have to come in for 3 days, unpaid, in the summer holidays. Consultants constantly coming in and scrutinising lessons.
