Dislikes

I have had little dealings with QP as a whole, the school is quite literally 'micro managed' - on first arriving staff were told that under no circumstances were they to contact any department other than school directly regarding issues or raise concerns. I was offered what sounded like a fantastic opportunity at interview and effectively promised early promotion, on arriving this couldn't have been further from the truth - I have been utilised as a cover teacher and not taught my subject.
