    A literal "military" school

    The school is like a military school, no freedom, no independence. They banned mobile phones even when arguing they are for "safeguarding" reasons; when a pupil went in late into school, 1. They never registered them into the school so now parents are panicking at home wondering they're child is, 2. They decided to call up the parents saying they're child is missing without looking for them in school premises really showing their lack of responsibility and then had the audacity to blame the chil...

    Experience

    Quite good school, I went to Ark Boulton for rehearsal once and the building is kind of old like my primary school. The teacher was nice to me, the children was nice too. It is kind of weird if they have forms like 11 Detemination

    Shambolic

    No respect for the children. The school is run like an army camp. no room for expression or individuality. Everyone is encouraged to be the same. By far the worst school in the area. They treat children like primary school kids making them line up in the playground weather its freezing cold or boiling hot.
