    Vile school lack of regard for student wellbeing

    Shocking, average academicly if you want your child to be constantly overwhelmed. When my child joined in year 7 the rules were fair, however the escelation sonce has been appalling. Absolutely no regard for stuudent wellbeing its utterly discraceful. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. My child is currently in year 10 and is already struggling with the stress for upcoming mocs, let alone the teachers targeting students and enforcing rules which pratically disregard basic human rights. This school is p...

    READ THIS AND THEN THINK ABOUT SENDIG YOUR KID

    literally one of the worst options for your child, they do not care about your wellbeing or what you want to do in life. i came out as trans a few months into this school and began socially transitioning (hair, different pronouns, etc). i was not yet out to my parents, and i asked one of the pastoral teachers if they would call me by a different name on registers and such, but not notify my parents as i knew they wouldnt be supportive. they instead went and told my parents without my knowledge,...

    Do better!

    As a professional in the field of psychology, I am disturbed by the actions and attitudes of the teachers at this institution. Including the "counselling" services they offer to pupils battling with their mental health. The level of victim blaming is staggering. The lack of care is a disgrace. We're talking about children here! Not to mention that one of the employees here is a former police officer who is constantly eager to tell others about what she **used** to do. Nobody cares. Stop thinking...

    the teachers are very nice.

    The teachers are so kind to my young son in year 7. They make him feel very welcome in the school, and she sometimes stays behind with the teachers when they want to help him with homework. This is great teaching.

    Teachers do not understand pupils well-being!!! if you are thinking of applying your child for year 7 please dont, the head teacher walked in on the girls while they were changing (he is male) and the girls where half naked getting ready for pe! year 7 head of year screamed at my child becuase she was pointing out something that was off topic, and the school do not care about bullying aswell! that school makes mental health worse for the kids!

    Don’t bother even applying

    If you want you child picked on by teachers then by all means send them here! My child has been singled out for the colour of her hair (if you’re reading this teachers you know who I am!) when loads of other girls have dyed hair! First it’s “too bright” so I dulled it down then it was because it’s “two toned” when it was just blonde highlights yet there are other girls with skunk stripes and money pieces at the front of their hair but highlights is too much!! My daughter saved up her own money to go ginger with blonde highlights and now that £70 has been flushed down the drain because a teacher said they don’t like it so she’s had to get a box dye and do it black after only enjoying her dream hair colour for 3 days!! Disgusting! One rule for one and one for another! If they don’t like your child they will pick at every little thing they do, my daughter has had enough of being bullied by the students (one of which is the child of a teacher in the school) now she has to put up with the teachers picking on her and yes I’m reporting this to the school board too
