Sorry to add a moaning post but I just really need to get this off my chest. Please feel free to scroll past.
Feel completely overwhelmed and like I’m drowning.

Working full time in year 2 (apparently till 39 weeks so I can level SATs). Headteacher has clearly decided I’m rubbish. I’ve always been graded good/outstanding before I was pregnant but now there pulling everything apart with a fine tooth comb. He laid into me last week at a pupil progress meeting despite the fact that my class have made the best progress in the school saying I didn’t have a good enough awareness of my middle ability and that they’re not being challenged enough. When I got upset and spoke to my KS leader about this i was told it was hormones. He says my marking isn’t detailed enough. I work till 5 then come home, cook, sort kids and mark some more books. I can’t do any more. Now I’ve got reports to write for parents evening on Tuesday which we don’t usually do this early and had no warning about. I can’t do it.

Last night my sons rugby finished early (a last minute text from school), so asked if I could leave the twilight session 15 mins early to pick him up as they’re not allowed to walk home in the dark (he’s only 11). DH couldn't help as he was in a meeting an hour away. Head said no. Luckily the office staff at sons school were working late so let him sit inside. Daft thing is the twilight training was rubbish and for days in lieu that are happening in my mat leave! It’s like there no understanding. I have to just soldier on as normal but I can’t. I’m exhausted and falling apart.

Had to take 2 days off for slapped cheek and had daily phone calls saying I needed to come in even though the dr said not to. Feel bullied... Now another teacher (who they like/respect) is pregnant and she was sent home for 2 weeks because they didn't want her exposed to slapped cheek.

Just want to be anywhere but here...

Sorry just seen how long this is...

In your position I’d get signed off with pregnancy exhaustion. They can put that in their pipe and smoke it. And phone the national helpline of your union for your next step.

Tempting... I don't feel like I owe the school anything, but would hate to let the kids down...
Am in touch with unions so keeping a log of everything now x
