Solihull school investigation for allegations of teacher bullying
An academy trust is launching an independent investigation at a Solihull school for children with additional needs after the BBC contacted them about allegations of “bullying by teachers”.
The Heights Academy, in Smith’s Wood, opened in September 2023, promising a “unique educational approach” tailored to pupils who are autistic or have mental health needs.
But some parents have expressed concern about the school’s culture, with one accusing bosses of “mis-selling them a dream”.
The Forward Education Trust, which runs the school, said it was aware of concerns raised about the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision and would commission a “thorough and transparent” investigation.
