perfect school if you have a trauma kink
best thing i did was leave when i had the chance. i don’t believe in being a tw@t and making teachers lives harder for no reason but the majority of the staff are just bullies living out their fantasy of making children feel inferior. don’t know if claire madeloso is still there but that woman is demonic she runs the school like it’s the navy or something, very patronizing to both students and parents pretty much turns her nose up to anyone she doesn’t see worthy of basic respect. just a pack of...

False information
When I was a student at Archbishop Blanch School, I felt misled when I first joined. Because I was new, they placed me in Foundation Science even though they knew I wanted to study Medicine. I was told not to worry, that if I achieved high marks in Foundation I could still get grades 6 or 7. This was not true, and this lie had a big impact on my life, as it limited my opportunities and affected my future plans despite my ambitions and abilities.

Don’t send ur kids here
Let me out of this hell hole this is an absolute joke of a school I hate it here one of the teachers here is racist and they never take anything to do with racism or homophobia etc seriously enough they act like it’s drama or a little disagreement when someone says a slur don’t send ur kids here it’s so strict and the teachers who are supposed to “help with students mental health” don’t help! One time I told them that I was struggling with homework and that it stresses me out a lot and she said...

stupid school
absolutely shit school,dont reccomend. dont come here you will become severely depressed and might consider suicide!!! especially dont come here if you have no friends from primary trust me!! pastoral teachers are shit and dgaf about you trust me they act like they do but they'll go running to ur parents about everything. if youve already been accepted to go there welcome to hell. also rules are biased towards white people because they dont allow us to have 2 colours in our braids(e.g brown and blonde) but they dont say anything when a white person has highlights in their hair??? my friend had 2 colours in her braids and got sent to isolation because she wouldnt take them out. dont reccomend. if you care about you ur mental wellbeing i reccomend not coming here if your a snowflake. in terms of learning and gcse wise theyre good but they put too much pressure on older years year10/year11 especially on higher sets. but in general the environment is terrible outside the classroom and we only have 30 minutes for lunch.

SEN? Mental health? Nope
I am a SEN kid, and I am not treated very nicely or very much allowed to speak my opinion. only the kids with "severe " SEN needs really get seen to. The rest are just left out, and my needs are quite a lot but they don't help me and tell at me when I get upset. I also got my private notebook stolen and read. There is an amazing teacher that saved my life, and other nice teachers, but ultimately this school gave me mental health issues and they knew and just gave me untrained therapists that end...

Not ok for students that are "different"
Most of the teachers are the most kindest I have ever met, and there are a lot of nice kids too, and bullying gets sorted well. But there ere too much expectations, and we are treated like robots, for example, there is nowhere near enough time at lunch and break to do anything, and it's just a stressful rush. For neurodiverse kids, we don't feel understood, and think the school could do a lot more to help us, we are very misunderstood, for example, I got told by the head of SEN to grow up, and t...

awful school
please do not send your kids or go to this school. It claims to have a good community, friendship and a great environment, but it's quite the opposite. there's a lot of bullying that goes on. I went to this school and can say that I have experienced a lot of mean comments and felt left out a lot. I had no friends and for the while that I was there I suffered from anxiety, depression, social problems and other issues. ever since I left I have been feeling much more happier and free from stress and bullies. the fact that this school forces religion, is racist and overly strict in very strange ways doesn't help either.

Racist school
School is great if your child is white, if not then I'm afraid the teachers will find reasons to punish them. It is well known for letting white students get away with things they have suspended other minorities for. Headteacher is unapproachable and rude. Quite frankly the school breathes white privilege and is unapologetic about it

Good luck
Got bullied for 5years and went to the school several times and they did nothing and told me to be quiet and not talk about it when I was getting false claims against me that could have put me in prison and also had my life threatened several times aswell as about 8 other girls. Personally wouldn’t recommend but u do u boo

It’s good but
It is good but people in the school students can be toxic I think they should see what students are doing more to stop bullying because I have been bullied by people in my year and older

Mostly cool teachers
4 stars for the really nice teachers: Honestly, some of the teachers are really nice and they understand that it’s hard with COVID and all. They tell us to not over work our selves and it’s nice when they say it’s okay that u haven’t completed all the work on time. I always overwork myself to the early hours of the morning. -1 star for the bad teachers
