Even other staff members expressed their trust in this staff member. What happened in the end? Nothing. The staff member left as soon as a new head teacher was introduced.

Due to these rapid management changes, the school is EXTREMELY unorganised and at most times frustrating and even unprofessional with how it addresses us (students) about these issues, mostly blaming our behaviour on their misconducts. It's a shame that the few staff members who were at this school have left or are not recognised by upper management.\nParticularly in year 10, I had a new form tutor who was also a new business teacher. He was a fantastic teacher and form tutor (with his help I got a 9 in business in year 10) but the school heavily mistreated him.\nThis teacher was able to see the issues with the school and wanted to help out, so he requested that he be in charge of some of the organising and management around the school. He was denied. Another instance was that one of the year 11 students at the time had gotten violent with him and when he reported this to staff, there was no acknowledgment.\nAs a form tutor, he was super friendly and created a comfortable atmosphere as he was very approachable and noticeably cared about how we felt and what our thoughts of the school (and in general) were. In my experience at this school, not a single form tutor behaved in this way. Understandably, this staff member left. After his departure, my grades in business heavily dropped. It wasn't a huge decline at first, going from a 9 to 8. However, by the time I was nearing exams in year 11 I was getting 6s. I am extremely disappointed that my potential to succeed was wasted by this school. During my grade's decline, I had multiple business teachers in total 3 different ones in the span of a year. There are thousands of more things that I can say about this school (like the harassment in the hallways) but I think this is enough.
