      I’ve known a few headteachers over the years, as a pupil, employee and acquaintance, and whilst they weren’t all exactly *nice* people necessarily, they certainly did all act assiduously in their school and pupils’ interests. How someone like this became a head is mystifying.

      Who spends 36k a year on a no-name school? Plenty of actual public schools to choose from.

      This school is absolutely bizarre

      It’s nestled in a residential street right at the edge of Clitheroe, and I’ve never known of anyone actually ever attending it

      The main surprise is it’s only just closed

      Edit – oddly enough, it only seems to exist for Rovers to send their academy players

    5. Maybe the parents can also relocate to dubai and join the grifters school there

      So

      “he ran the school like he was selling unroadworthy second-hand cars.”

      “The children were denied basic educational tools and needs.”

      “Teaching standards then declined so parents began to withdraw their children and numbers dropped.”

      and people are surprised the school carshed and burned?

      Beggars belief that folks were paying 36k a year

      According to the article

      The outrage is because he’s gone on holiday?

      I thought maybe he’s scammed some. Money but no

      Parents just kicking off because he hasn’t been helping their kids find alternative school places

      My mum used to work there. She quit many years ago not long after Harrison Jr took over, citing “can’t work for that dickhead”. He’s always been a mean, bullying cunt
