🚨 NEW: Inside Athena – the story beyond Panorama Following the BBC Panorama investigation into Athena Learning Trust, Teachers Talk Radio has gone further speaking directly to four teachers who worked inside Athena schools. Two current staff. Two former staff. One former teacher tells us: “It quashed the behaviour but destroyed any love of learning.” Another says: “Something so full of potential became a monster.” But a current teacher strongly disputes the picture presented: “The Panorama documentary was not particularly a fair representation of CSIA.” And another current Athena teacher describes the programme as: “a hatchet job rather than an in depth exploration.” We examine the claims around reflection rooms, toilet restrictions, silent practice, SEND, staff surveillance, classroom drop-ins and teacher autonomy including where current and former staff actually agree. 🎥 PLUS: Watch our full hour-long interview with former Camborne teacher Robin Brindley Johnson, who says working under Athena felt like “indoctrination” and explains why he believes the trust became too authoritarian. Athena Learning Trust was given the opportunity to respond and its statement is published in full. 👇 Read the investigation and watch the full interview Read: ttradio.org/post/a-hatchet-j… Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=CcZz0pCz…
