Abbeyfield School

the only 3 decent members of staff such as the 2 deputy heads and year 9 pastoral they are the only members of staff that seem to react to problems when students need the help. Most teacher pick on the same students 24/7 for things that some students can’t help eg sit still, remain focus. never aloud to go to the toilet the new rules are stupid getting warnings for coughing, asking why you got a warning. students expected to go outside in the rain in a shirt to get food because they won’t give you your hoodies back for lunch or break. Teachers are always looking miserable. need to get rid of the current head teacher and make 1 of the deputy heads the head teacher

my personal experience at this school has been... average, fortunately the teachers i have had in my past 3-4 years being at this school have (most of them) been kind, caring, sweet and lovely. however i cant say the same for other teachers, some have no compassion, no decency or any respect for the students they are teaching and demand that they recieve it, then go onto complain when a student makes a minor mistake. the rules and how they are enforced in this school are absolutely shocking, especially with the "new" rules (cant cough without getting a warning) the canteen food is so expensive and has gone up since i first started here. the school does nothing against bullying and they do little to help students with mental health, expecting a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum. i have been friends with multiple people who have had their mental health worsened by the "help" of the school, only having to move away instead. multiple times have i myself been to, or been with someone to student support to report an incident and they have done nothing about it

Bad food seeing as we are still paying customers, bad teachers mainly who can’t even teach their own subject correctly, bad staff, and unnecessary rules and regulations since covid, handled the whole lockdown working really badly as well.

The lack of care about bullying or education is austonishing. I'm year 11 and never got proper help for bullying wich I've been experiencing since primary but id always get help. In abbeyfield they believe the bullys story over the victimms. mental health care they're is ridiculousthey'll mark u down as high risk and never follow up if the counsellor deems you okay which is really easy to fake she'll let you go off like nothings been wrong. Also if u ask for extra help most teachers wont give you it they'll just give you the same work in the exact same way and leave you to figure it out yourself. And pandemic restrictions are not being inforeced almost no one wears a mask social distancing between year groups and in classes/break and lunch is non existent the teachers do nothing to help other then a few only 2 that I know of. I could go on honestly Abbeyfield is a mess. I have never felt safe they're and am so glad I am leaving in june/july
