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.

Pros

Very few anymore! Plenty of travel to lots of conferences on x's, does that count?

Cons

Toxic environment, feeling of being scrutinised, widespread reports of bullying, tick box culture, all talk and no delivery, clearly a leadership in severe trouble that do NOT put students and staff first
