This was a change, but for me, not pleasant.\n\nThis man is incredibly proud, and not on the positive way. He came across as much more interested in the schools and his outward facing image than he was in the underlying problems in the school. He made it his mission to have anyone deemed a \"problem\" removed from the school and often had a less than professional relationship with his students, where he would show favouritism to those who actively made the school look better, whilst holding long lasting grudges against those who crossed him. To have such thin skin and fragile ego is not a good quality, especially when working with teenage boys.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I attended this school as a student from around 2010.
