Abbey Park School

Horrible school for multiple reasons
-both students and teachers are bullies
-teachers don’t care about any of your property that gets lost
-consequences for ridiculous things
-teachers don’t care about you
-put you on report overdue the time you should be when that’s not actually how a report works
-just an overall terrible school

Not as bad a Lydiard park
Bullying is awful
Vaping/smoking alcohol in school
Quite strict
Great learning support and mental health support in base
Chrildren their are nasty homophobic and racist

The teachers are mostly helpful, I'm in year 11 and they have organised lots of workshops to help us out. It's mostly the people, some of the teachers are really ignorant about the issues that their marginalised students face, I was bullied in year 8 and 9 for having short hair as a femme presenting person being and called slurs. The students in my year are mostly okay, but there is a group who carry knives and intimidate people intentionally, they are also extremely homophobic. It is not a safe space to be gay, or neurodivergent at this school. Mostly my mental health was really low during school, they tried to help but were overall uneducated on how to help, so in the end we're very unhelpful, so I spent my entire secondary school experience absolutely miserable. Overall, its about as good as secondary school gets but honestly? Send your child elsewhere.

some of the teachers are decent but ever since i’ve been here my mental health has gone downhill and no one really cares which is pretty great. there aren’t many gcse options that other schools have like citizenship or childcare or german which is a bit annoying. the outdoor areas aren’t too bad and the indoor areas can be kinda gross sometimes but overall not terrible. teachers can handle some kinds of bullying but they haven’t done a good job in the past of handling some more serious issues. not a terrible school but probably not very good either
