It was my last day today at a school environment so toxic that the stories seem almost unbelievable. I felt like I would never find another suitable job but managed to secure one elsewhere literally at the 11th hour before resignation date. Today was so exhausting and upsetting saying goodbye to lovely families and children who have no idea of what’s been happening to many of the staff and kept saying over and over again ‘but why are you leaving’? It used to be such a happy school, but it goes to show that a change of management can have absolutely catastrophic consequences for staff morale and mental health. So for anyone else going through similar and feeling horribly trapped like I was, please don’t give up. I have managed to escape so you can too.
