Mossbourne Schools accused of 'toxic and humiliating culture'

Full article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c... A leading school academy trust is facing allegations of presiding over a "toxic culture" toward its pupils. More than 150 current and former pupils, parents, former teachers and professionals have shared their experiences of the Mossbourne Federation schools in Hackney, east London. The allegations, which span two decades, include claims of racism and that teachers would routinely scream at pupils for minor infractions, with "public humiliation" being commonplace. A Mossbourne Federation spokesperson said it was being targeted by a "vexatious campaign" and it offered a safe learning environment for all its pupils, as evidenced by positive Ofsted reports and local authority reviews.
