    Sad decline.

    It had a very good reputation 40 years ago but, judging by the current comments, the school standards have dropped considerably.

    God save them all.

    This place will be the death of you all. If you do not succumb to mental health conditions based on abuse then you will probably leave with nothing at all anyway. Also they make up there own grades and fix there own curriculum even if the students are criminal offenders or if the over all grades achieved are so low they will give out false GCSEs to make the schools grades and curriculum look better.

    My time so far

    I despise it here now, thank goodness I'm in a year where I can pick my subjects and learn what I want, so I thought, I got some subjects my main one was taken away becuase it was full so this leaves me at a humongous state of worry for when I'm older, the school has done nothing but give me a seriously bad mental health and put me in a bad state of depression, it sucks up my energy for the whole week and puts me in a bad mood for when I go home, the teachers are great the lessons not so much.....
