Parents protest harsh discipline at two Essex schools after Mossbourne Federation takeover, citing mental health crises and abusive conditions.
Parents at Mossbourne Port Side and Fobbing Academies in Essex, following a January 2025 takeover by the Mossbourne Federation, are raising alarms over harsh disciplinary practices, including detentions for minor issues like missing a pen or sneezing, isolation without parental contact, and restricted bathroom access.
Some students, including those with life-threatening medical conditions, have developed severe anxiety, self-harm, and allergic reactions due to stress.
Over 150 students have been withdrawn, with families citing mental health crises and an emotionally abusive environment likened to a "Nazi regime."
A prior report criticized Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy’s culture as harmful, involving public humiliation and shouting.
The schools have not responded to requests for comment.
