I worked at a local school for a few years in a self employed capacity and left as the culture was just toxic and stressful. High staff turnover. Dangerous environment to work in. Staff talking to students like they were animals. Poor safeguarding. Poor communication. Many complaints from many parents. The list goes on.
I've just seen that they've just received a good ofsted report. The description of the school and staff is full of praise.
I did highlight concerns I had, mainly over safeguarding. Luckily for me I work flexibly and am in demand, on a self employed basis, so was able to move on quickly when I realised I didn't want to work there anymore.
But how in the hell did they get a good ofsted? Baffling.
