reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"11 months ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"I recently had an interview at Outwood Academy Acklam. I went for the position of pastoral support officer. As I have a level 3 and a bachelors in policing, I was qualified for this role but this was not appreciated by any of the staff I encountered. There was 3 other candidates for this job role. Two of which had experience in schools, with one working for the same academy. Once the vice principal,\u00c2\u00a0 Luke Chapman, heard this, his ears sprung up and completely ignored me and another candidate who was also a recent University graduate. He focused\u00c2\u00a0 his whole attention on the two more experienced candidates. After a brief tour of the academy, and still being completely ignored by Mr Champman, we where then told to complete a written assessment. This consisted of multiple choice questions, some questions I found extremely difficult as I had no experience in working in a school environment. After the written test, it was time for the interviews. However, I was never interviewed. I was instead instructed to a small room where I was told I failed the written test and that I would not be interviewed. I drove 40 min to attend this interview during morning rush hour traffic after I had finished a night shift. None of this was even considered. I had just been told I failed and had to leave the school. A few hours after this, Luke Chapman phoned me to discuss feedback. I told him I was appalled by how I was treated during this time, I was never given any time to talk about myself of experience. I was simply marked on a multiple choice quiz, it felt as though I was one of the students. The feedback was not at all helpful. Luke Chapman explained that I was not in proper dress for an interview. I was wearing trousers, a shirt with a black and white jacket over the shirt. As graduate working in retail, I'm not in a\u00c2\u00a0 financial position to purchase certain clothing. I believe what I was wearing was smart and comfortable. You should not be graded on a person's clothing, he acted as though I was wearing jeans and a hoodie. Further feedback was even more useless. My answers I gave on my written assesment where correct but not in enough detail and some of the terms I used where not official. For example I put \"senior member of staff\" not the official job title of that person. So my clothes and terms where poor enough to cut my interview early. I find this treatment appalling. I don't understand why I wasn't given a chance. For a school that promotes chasing dreams, mine where crushed today and for no good reason!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I recently had an interview at Outwood Academy Acklam.
