guestI would not recommend EIS East any longer. The new Headteacher is destroying the very fine foundations set in place by the founding Headteacher. The number of children in the school are falling weekly. The new Head shows a lack of respect for the children he teaches, the parents and the staff, there are a number of complaints from each faction. In fact there has been a turn over of 85% of staff in twelve months. He is fond of manipulating the truth and forgetting what he has told you. He is prepared to go to any lengths to cover up his inadequacies. It is a great pity that by the time David Lowder leaves next year he will have demolished all the fabulous work left by the former Headteacher.
