Not quite sure how this could be evidence-based as you have said that your child is in Year 7. Presumably most of the many staff who left last year were also there the previous year - when the school's GCSE results were somehow more than 20% higher. Luckily Ondine, who has experience of both last year and this year's teaching staff, has given us a more balanced view. I am very pleased that your child is happy and benefitting from their time at the school. My concern is for the 64% of last year's Year 11s who finished without a reasonable set of qualifications. Whatever the reasons for this, I think it's important to ask where the accountability for this failing ultimately lies.
