As parents, guardians, relatives and friends of a Reach2 school pupil we believe the decision to make all existing admin staff redundant and replace with just two, lower paid staff members is a short-sighted and ill-thought out plan that will have a detrimental impact on our school, its community and our children. We hugely value the work that our existing admin staff do, and their constant support of children, parents and staff throughout the school. We strongly believe that reducing the amount and value of office support will negatively affect the running of the school and our children's wellbeing. We are also disappointed by how this decision reflects on Reach2 as an organisation - with its disregard, and undervaluing of its staff. We urge Reach2 to reconsider.
Getting rid of admin staff will only push more admin work onto the teachers, who already have a huge workload, and take their attention away from their core work - teaching our children.
