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.

Please reconsider. This negatively impacts our opinion of Reach2 and at a time when we are considering a move and had hoped to stay within the Reach2 family in our new location. This will seriously make us think otherwise. Please reconsider for the whole of our community.

Sorry but I disagree with the plan to decrease the office as I have a son with additional needs I find the so helpful in regards to getting my son in the staff in there do a wonderful job and go above and beyond to help make the mornings a little less stressful for us both

The office staff at our school are very much needed. I can’t see how our school would run without them. We actually need more staff in our schools, not less. I get that reach is a business but to make staff redundant that have been there for 20+ years is shocking

Only two members of office staff on site would greatly limit the capacity of the school to run special assemblies, the Fathers Forum, and many other functions that parents appreciate at the school.

As a parent and a human being, I think this is wrong and to even think that a staff member’ s pay will be reduced is unethical. The cost of living continues to go up; how are these staff supposed to support their families honestly.

This news has shocked and saddened me. The RFA’s admin team are the heart of the school, being a vital part of how well this school runs. Being a part of this wonderful team for four years, I know first hand how hard everyone works. Reach2 please reconsider this decision as I believe this is going to be detrimental to the RFA community.

Experienced and helpful office staff are essential to keep the school running smoothly, and enable teaching staff to teach. Maybe Reach 2 should look at the cuts that could be made at head office, rather than those working day to day in school. This is not the way to treat loyal staff who are committed to the school and do a first class job.
