      Felt like a Cult

      Pros

      Good facilities. Staff are dedicated to student progress and welfare. Culture in regards to students is good.

      Cons

      The departments in each school that's I dealt with felt cult-like. The more senior the staff member, the more pronounced it seemed. The senior staff expect too much of the teachers. The difference between the support and teaching staff general treatment and professional development is huge. There is almost no development for most of the Support Staff. My managers were completely unsuited, untrained and inexperienced with my role to support me in my specific work.

      Intimidating environment

      Pros

      Great facilities and thoughtful Key Stage 3 curriculum with interesting content.

      Cons

      It is an intense environment where I was made to feel intimidated and incompetent, with very little respect and support. The trust does a lot of CPD on Rosenshine's principles of instruction - one of them is about avoiding cognitive overload. This is ironic as they spend each and every cognitively overloading staff and students with far too much work and information.

      Whatever it Takes

      Pros

      The trust is very organised and has high standards for it's schools.

      Cons

      The motto is literally "Whatever it Takes". If that isn't enough to scare you - good luck. I was doing well in first half term. My timetable got shifted just before the holidays to one which added 10 hours a week to my workload. No support offered until I asked for it and complained. When I took 3 days off for stress I had a meeting where my mentor and tutor both made me feel like it was my fault. Still traumatised to this day.
