Headteacher who closed £36,000-a-year private school with just two days’ notice flees to Dubai as parents frantically search for new places for their children

1. Dubai seems to be a magnet for the worlds biggest cunts.

2. I’ve known a few headteachers over the years, as a pupil, employee and acquaintance, and whilst they weren’t all exactly *nice* people necessarily, they certainly did all act assiduously in their school and pupils’ interests. How someone like this became a head is mystifying.

3. Nice big resi redevelopment site with a kickback for matey boi on the cards here

4. Who spends 36k a year on a no-name school？ Plenty of actual public schools to choose from.

5. This school is absolutely bizarre

   It’s nestled in a residential street right at the edge of Clitheroe, and I’ve never known of anyone actually ever attending it

   The main surprise is it’s only just closed

   Edit – oddly enough, it only seems to exist for Rovers to send their academy players

6. Maybe the parents can also relocate to dubai and join the grifters school there

7. So

   “he ran the school like he was selling unroadworthy second-hand cars.”

   “The children were denied basic educational tools and needs.”

   “Teaching standards then declined so parents began to withdraw their children and numbers dropped.”

   and people are surprised the school carshed and burned?

   Beggars belief that folks were paying 36k a year

8. According to the article

   The outrage is because he’s gone on holiday?

   I thought maybe he’s scammed some. Money but no

   Parents just kicking off because he hasn’t been helping their kids find alternative school places

9. My mum used to work there. She quit many years ago not long after Harrison Jr took over, citing “can’t work for that dickhead”. He’s always been a mean, bullying cunt

10. I thought the daily mail loved the idea of rich folk skipping the country when the going gets tough. Flight of capital indeed.

11. I live near the school and there are a lot of rumours going around but the main one seems to be that they didn’t pay the exam board for last year’s exams so have been struck off (I don’t work in education so have no idea if that is the correct term or even true). That is why they have had to shut now rather than at the end of the year as the y11 students were not going to be able to sit their exams.
