Harry Lamb Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Cost saving measure. There will be one head for all primary schools on the island - a man with a bad haircut wearing a tracksuit and carrying a 12 string guitar will do a daily podcast of whatever shit the primary advisors at the department tell him to say - or sing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were issues found, you would think the first action would be to work with the school to put them right. You know, identify, address and learn kind of cycle. You’d think so, but the Ofsted approach in the UK is to bully good people until they kill themselves and then laugh about it afterwards. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the same approach as any regulator. Take a look at the FSA. They bathe in the success of ruining peoples businesses and lives. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The letter sent to parents and carers is online. It just states what has happened as above. The MHK has said all will be revealed in the fullness of time or words to that affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the approach of many 'investigators', vis the PO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has certainly been a lot of rumblings about the management of Rushen Primary School in this part of the isle for a good while 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, although your timing is about right. The school changed when they removed The Shrubbery and replaced it with a car park. I believe they kept a little bit for wildlife and fauna lessons. Someone for a larf planted a load of cannabis seeds. They grew quite well apparently. Edited July 2 by Casta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at either at CRHS or in employment when the Shrubbery was removed - it kept the girls and the boys separated and was patrolled by the ever so child friendly Hetty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizo Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The shrubbery was the best. I have no idea why they’ve been removed from their jobs but reading the comments there doesn’t seem to be any love lost regarding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
