If you are a senior leader and you won't let teachers see the whole school development plan (or at least a summary), there's something very wrong

Heads open up about torrent of abuse from parents Leaders confronted outside their homes, spat at and 'offered-out' for fights

Society has changed since Covid and how people behave towards others has changed. School leaders/teachers are taking the brunt of it (along with other public workers)
