Truth Is Here

We are a group of former colleagues who worked with or under the leadership of Drew Povey. Collectively this is our story and voice.

@CamDonDuncan @DuggyStand What I find staggering is that Gary Chambers at Warrington Wolves gave evidence against Drew Povey at the inquiry. This should tell you everything you need to know about how dangerous Povey is.

@MrWatsonBiology @drewpovey @miss_mcinerney Looking to Povey for inspiration 🫣
Two weeks ago Drew conceded he was a 'poor school manager' with 'very limited knowledge' of necessary administrative rigour. That was his defence after changing over 600 registrations marks. He’s banned from teaching now - some leader

Hi Chris, are you still happy for a man banned from teaching indefinitely to work with your children? 🤔 @chrisdysonHT

@johncosgrove405 @vipereller He was also banned because under watch over 600 attendance marks were altered. He admitted to illegal exclusions, citing mental health, instead of poor behaviour, but he did not inform parents.

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@johncosgrove405 @little_mavis @ballater6 TRA, like most judicial processes, will have issues. That does not mean, people prohibited from teaching should be allowed back. Like you said, you don’t know the man or his character.

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@johncosgrove405 @allenjanice1 More reliable than someone who was not there.

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@ballater6 @johncosgrove405 Well, we can assure you we stand together. You will be unable to find very few, if any, of his former staff who have supported him.

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@johncosgrove405 All the while, going on to national television to boast that the school do not do any type of fix term exclusions.

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@johncosgrove405 Interesting read John. As former colleagues of Povey,we can hand on heart say the TRAs outcome was correct. He deliberately allowed 600 attendance marks to altered. He instructed staff to send poorly behaved pupils home without recording this as an exclusion or informing parents.

[Richard Beckett @RickyBeckett84]

To add to this, I was suspicious of Drew Povey when I listened to a podcast were he claimed to be a rugby coach. Following that, I asked him for some advice on completing my Level2 qualification but it was clear he had no idea about the criteria. Makes you wonder if he was lying?

[Richard Beckett @RickyBeckett84]

This is shocking. Not just the off rolling but the fact over 600 attendance marks were amended and pupils were sent home without parents being informed.

I thought @drewpovey was a good guy. Yet, he is still arrogantly posting on here, making himself out to be a great leader. 😡

[Truth Is Here @schools_keeping]

@itstom_white @reesmf @BBCNews If you read the full log, he placed children at risk of harm due to his actions. He also brought the profession into disrepute. As former colleagues of his, we can confirm this was the tip of the iceberg of his narcissistic behaviour.

[Mark Mitchell @amarkmitch]

@BBCNews Its amazing how many of these self publicists, hyped up by BBC etc, are found out in the end.
