"Treatment of support staff is appalling"

Positive Aspects

Some pupils and other work colleagues

Areas for Improvement

The Head Teacher is not fit for, nor experienced for this role. The management team are also dire. Absolutely no value to support staff is offered, they're overburdened and undervalued. When he decides to make redundancies, only to those who work there less than 2 years are sacked, simply so he doesn't have to pay out a penny in redundancy. At Wadebridge school the pupils and staff come last. Finances in the right pockets is Wadebridge school's priority. Underhanded and mismanaged by a team of self-serving clowns who do not put education abd pupil care first. Don't take my review at face value, do your research and speak to others.
