City Junior School - new head going well?

[KGmum]

Hello, wonder if any current CJS parents can share their experience of the new head? We have heard many teachers are leaving and the atmosphere is not so good. I hope this is reckless gossip, as we were so keen on the school after our open day visit.

I’ve also heard that quite a lot of kids are trying to leave, but that CJS isn’t supportive of the move.

Why do you think they trying to leave @newuserid11 ? Did you hear it is something to do with the new Head or are there other factors?

It is a reasonably new school anyway, but I was only hearing glowing and positive things before this September.

Perhaps change is hard, not sure

Interesting, the new head was a deputy at Bute House - stellar background, I wonder what's behind pupil wanting to leave

He was promoted to a deputy head role at Bute only a few months before moving to the City. He’s lovely, but his senior leadership experience is limited.
