Please read! - Teacher Brampton Manor Academy Employee Review

I would suggest that I start with sick/bereavement pay but, despite making a point of it existing within Brampton, it seems like it does not matter how many reviews exist on here or complaints they face, it is not something that is going to change. I will add (something not mentioned in many) that during the COVID19 pandemic staff members were coming into work with COVID because the government said it was no longer mandatory to isolate- which Brampton took as you are fine if you get COVID so come in. Staff are not the only ones struggling here. Female students face shaming for their skirt length from several senior members of staff with many students raising their discomfort about their objectification with various staff. Instead of reflecting and suggesting that female members of staff address the young students with the issue, they are met with ‘accept it’. Students are told to control their periods when they have leaked and are denied the chance to go home to change (yet if they do not have a blazer, they miss their education to collect it from home). Need I say more. Back to members of staff, the deadlines are given with 3 days warning, the SEN department is highly underfunded leaving TAs and classroom teachers overworked, staff are patronised in front of the students while others are given promotions to bribe them to stay and based on nepotism. Staff often have to teach other subjects because of the quick turn over and the timetable will change every half term because of this. Lastly, the NEU finally has representation within the school but I personally am amazed and impressed that they have lasted. They have been shamed and degraded within staff briefings and huge violations of GDPR have taken place. I cannot even begin to describe how passionately I encourage everyone, particularly ECTs who are vulnerable and will be bullied and moulded into believing this is normal, to avoid this school.
