JOB cuts planned by the Mossbourne Federation for two of the borough’s secondary schools have been condemned by staff as threatening the future education of young people in the east of the borough.
The East London-based Federation, which has still not taken official control of Hassenbrook Academy and Gable Hall Schools (and the sister Corringham Primary School) from the troubled Ortu Federation, has instigated talks with staff and aims to cut direct teaching and supportive roles.
Staff were called into meetings yesterday (Tuesday, 19 November) to hear the news and are today digesting detailed plans that show where the axe will fall.
Eleven direct teaching posts are poised to be cut at Hassenbrook, with senior leadership staff including vice principal and assistant principal roles also targeted. As is special needs provision.

As of Wednesday 11 December scores of teachers belonging to NASUWT at the Gable Hall School will be locked out by the management for refusing to do tasks not related to teaching and outside of their contracts. These teachers want to teach and actively do not want to strike but will not be allowed to. The management of the school rather sends the students home than meet and discuss with the teachers. A terrible attitude to learning , students and staff of Gable Hall School.
