St Helena School

Hello, I have been in this school and I want to show some things out, the older years always use the younger years as punching bags and the staff does nothing, they are also love talking about sex? They also watch porn in class so this school is over; By the way the students , every single one of them are attention seekers and the girls.

rubbish school.drains ur mental health

This school is the worst school I have experience awful bullying here, and the school is just broken

Very clean. Staff are kind and love it here

I have posted a review on here before regarding my child and their awful experience at this school. But I would just like to suggest to other parents who also had children who have suffered at maybe reporting their experiences to ofsted. I know they don't investigate all cases. But maybe if enough of us report our experiences then something will be done. Or the school will be looked into at the very least. Just a suggestion as I feel this is a very dangerous place for children. From experience I know bullying and childrens mental health issues are ignored and as a result their lives are being destroyed and more needs to be done.

Idk why people say it’s bad it’s great

Such a fantastic school! Teachers are so kind nice and caring!

bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

This school is the worst school my son has been to, he was bullied almost every day and the school did nothing about it, it caused my son to have PTSD due to being punched and given swirlies when he to the toilet, would not reccomend.

Absolutely the worst school there is! Too many kids and clearly not enough staff. Bullying is not dealt with at all and children are not kept safe. Pulled my child out after only a few short months as their time there was so awful and it had such a huge negative impact on their mental health. Thank you St. Helena's for the worst time imaginable we really hope you improve. 0 stars

it is a very bad school do not send your kids there they don’t care about your mental health or anything the only thing that matters to them if your attendance and you always being in your lessons and all be and act the same like perfect little robots

teachers are rude and lie to parents about children to make students look bad when they are a shit school

this place is awful, the teachers dont listen to anything you say. Some teachers are really nice but others are bloody fooking awful and annoying. most the time the teachers treat us like shite

I am in shock with the comment that i have just read from an employee. St helena is not a good school and were not spreading lies were just telling you what they want to hear. Honestly this school is the worst school i have ever been to. They except bullying and the staff will do nothing abt it. When receiving death threats i was told that 'they wouldnt do that' or 'no not that person'. They say they care abt pupils mental health but they dont care. Since moving out of this school i have been so much better off. If ur planning to send ur child here than pls dont. Save their mental health and run while u still can

This school is ok as long as you stay in a group of friends and stay on the good side of St helena if you don't then you will mostly likely to be kicked out

I've seen a lot of negative reviews about this school and I want to clear something up. Nothing is wrong with this school. The school atmosphere is lovely, I've never been more satisfied. The school facilities are up to date and beautiful. This school provides a safe and happy atmosphere for all its students and handles bullying wonderfully. Unfortunately, some of the students think its funny to say that the school has awful disciplinary skills, that it allows bullying or that the school itself is run down and dangerous, especially the library. Let me clear this up. There is nothing wrong with the school, especially the library. Stop spreading lies about the school, saying you had a terrible education or that you keep hearing weird noises coming from the library, especially "during the winter months when it gets dark sooner", to quote one of these reviews. It disgusts me to say that even former staff are spreading these lies. To all my colleagues using this website, let me remind you that the librarian did not "go missing under suspicious circumstances", he is currently working at another school, where he is quite well. To all those who are looking to work here or to enrol their children, I highly recommend this school, and ask you to please ignore all those terrible lies being written about us. That girl was very troubled, and there was absolutely no correlation with her being a part of the book club and staying late in the library. There is nothing in the library. Stop asking about the library. Have a nice day!

this school is a massive joke. Honestly its unbelievable. dont send your child here unless you want them to be overly stressed, depressed and feel uncomfortable around every male teacher

As a student here currently, i hate it. Theres more nonces here than ive had hot dinners ngl. if youre a parent reading this, dont send your child here. this school is the definition of depression. hope this is helpful

So, this school may appear quite good during an open evening or on the prospectus. However, that isn't the reality for most students. There are quite a few teachers I really get on with but that's my personal opinion and It doesn't really affect my opinion of the poor school because they haven't got anything to do with the system, timetables, or rules. Not to my knowledge anyway. I don't really know where to start, I'll just start on the fact they always are yelling about acting like young adults when they have to escort us everywhere we go, and wait for us outside toilets because of a select few misbehaving students that they can't be bothered to deal with personally. Our timetables literally destroy mental health and cause such tiredness with year 11's having straight two hour lessons with no chance to rest their brain. The subjects are really limited and the school is generally run down, they say that the cleaners 'clean' yet you'll find scruffy lunch tables with crumbs everywhere- but blame it on the students. Even though the majority put their litter in the bins provided. Lessons drag because of the long time we spend inside doing work, so I can't say I'm an engaged student. I've tried again and again to get the required support for my personal needs but pastoral only allocate two minutes standing outside of a classroom and will then force you back inside despite you either crying or not able to breathe, which I think is neglecting but at the same time I can understand if they're busy. They do try to support less academic students with after school tuition or morning tuition but It's mandatory and the students can feel drained and run down with the extra lesson then pressure to revise.There isn't much interaction between years because of staggered lunchtimes. You're only allowed in one square of space during your break but when I was younger, before Covid, you could spend lunchtime nearly anywhere you wanted and didn't have to line up at the end of your break. During the summer season, you're still not allowed on the grass and students can get frustrated when teachers start yelling because your foot is slightly in a greener area. The food is, ew. Not too bad I guess but pretty disgusting and the options for food were more varied before Covid, which I guess might be because of the budget but still, it gets boring. The medical nurse has made me feel un welcomed numerous times and everybody says they're unhelpful. There are also teachers who make the students very uncomfortable, mainly girls, but I won't name who. The uniform is very strict and they will look you up and down to check for a problem, students struggling with heat and visibly sweating were forced to wear their blazer when walking around and you're forced to have your sleeves down when attending assembly. you get hour long detentions for minor things, such as being one or two minutes late to class despite the corridors being congested during change over. I could talk for hours on other flaws but I can't but if I had the choice, or could go back in time, this school wouldn't be for me. I hate attending here.
