Teachers were caught using inappropriate language towards students after their phone was taken away.
An unfortunate incident recently occurred at Newhouse Academy, a school in Heywood, Greater Manchester. It all started when a student's phone was confiscated and it was discovered that there was a recording app running on it. Little did anyone know, this would lead to a three hour and 37 minute recording of conversations between a small group of staff members during an incident in October.

Understandably, this caused quite a stir and the headteacher, Alex Burnham, took immediate action. In a letter addressed to the parents, he expressed his sincere apologies for what had transpired. He made it clear that the comments made by the staff members in the recording were in no way aligned with the school's values. It was reported that one staff member referred to a student as a "silly b***h" and another asked if the student was a "kn**head". In yet another part of the clip, a staff member was heard calling a child a "b***end". These derogatory remarks were completely unacceptable and did not belong in a school setting.

A screenshot of the letter was shared on social media, causing even more uproar. In the letter, the headteacher also mentioned that the audio file had been shared among several people. He urged parents to refrain from sharing it any further in order to protect the privacy of the students mentioned in the recording.

The headteacher's letter emphasized the importance of transparency and open communication between the school and parents, especially in difficult situations like this. He also assured that the incident was taken very seriously and appropriate disciplinary action was taken against the staff members involved. The school's spokesperson added that they expect their community to be a place of integrity and respect, and any actions that go against these values will be addressed fairly, but firmly.

However, the aftermath of the incident also involved efforts to rebuild trust with the staff members. Restorative work was done so that the staff could apologize for their actions and hopefully, learn from their mistakes. The school believes in not only celebrating positive news, but also being transparent when faced with challenges.

In conclusion, it is unfortunate that such an incident occurred at Newhouse Academy. However, the school has taken necessary steps to address the situation and ensure that it does not happen again in the future. As a community, it is important to uphold values of integrity and respect, and address any actions that go against them.
