The worst school ever!!!

Worse school ever! A lot of violence and racism and even of this they try to makes you to see as a normal thing for teenagers. Staff are not cooperating and had teacher don’t know anything about what’s happening in the school and they even don’t try to sort out without an appointment.

Do not send your kids here.

Very poor school. Staff do not know how to handle situations which leads to massive problems. Student drug use issues.

aureus school sucks and heres why (its long)

This is my (as a hsp) firsthand experience with the school before to leaving due to extreme bullying.
I'm about to turn 13 and I was on the top set of 7a, to shorten it before I entered the school system it took them... 6 months to register me which is very bad it has never taken that long to register someone, whilst that I was waiting I was doing homeschooling for a year , but let's speak about the school's state.... it's awful. There is gum all over the tables and they never clean it, the classes stink of food and the toilets are horrible, the locks are broken and I'm not sure if they've been fixed or not, and I've even seen a nazi symbol carved onto a chair, all the students are rather stupid for their age, and there was even a situation where a kid brought a knife into school and threatened to stab a girl, which I witnessed as the teachers tried to calm him down in the main corridor. To continue, another thing I saw is that Ofsted is almost useless; they go and it's as if they don't see all the horrible things, as if they're blind. Ofsted, respectfully go find competent people who care about doing their jobs properly. Now for the more serious,... bullying, the bullying is so horrible that one of my classmates had their head slammed against the wall by their own brother?? And I liked this girl in my class, and we were close friends, but she literally wounded me by stabbing me with a compass and a pen? I have literal scars, so I told my parents, and the cops had to go visit her and speak with her parents. Most students smoke there, and in general, this is the worst school I've ever been to. I've gone to horrible schools because I move around a lot, but this is by far the worst. The kids there even engage in cyberbullying, which I witnessed as well as other classmates. I had to leave the school because it was really destroying my health, and I now have social anxiety and puke up before going somewhere crowded, and the thought of returning to that school makes me nauseous. They forced me to seek counseling. The only good thing about the school is that some of the professors are nice and actually tried to help me.
the main point here is that don't send your children to this school unless you want them to suffer and that also homeschooling is far better than normal school

Bad school

Shocking School, rubbish GCSE results, went here for 2 years then left, in 1 year, 70 students left (in one year group) absolutely terrible authority, students mess around, headteacher is terrible and teachers are either horrible or very bad teachers!

ridiculous and trash school.

I am a student at this school, the education is bad, the teachers are bad, the head teacher is bad, there's is so much bullying it's ridiculous. I hate this school so much. People threaten to bully you and beat you up. It's truly disgusting. I am also going to year 8 now, but the situation with it has gone so badly I'm changing school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO GET YOUR CHILDREN INTO THIS SCHOOL! There has been many bad moments. The worst are online bullying and very strange sexual students as well. Many students are mentally unstable belive it or not. It is sad that after all this I just see them as stupid maggots. Really, please do not get your children in this school, even 7a is trash(topset)

My Opinion

I was at this school through to Yr 9 Only because i went to UTC. I have a history at aureus i will admit but when it came to dealing things they was not great. I have been sexually assualted at this school and all the kid got was a 1 day suspension. Only a few good teachers/staff. Ive been in fights and ive been punished more for self defence then the kid starting the fight. Way too many fights, Poor Manangement for anything. Still think that the head of behavior should be sacked etc. Toilets have no locks or doors infact. Some have cameras for filming into the people going in the bathroom. Found it creepy to be honest. Overall dont send your kids here.

Bullying, No SEN support, bad management.

Multiple breaches of child confidentiality, sensitive personal information of children leaked, horrific headteacher, bad management, kids running riot, SEN children not supported, more able children not supported. I moved my daughter out of this dangerous school. Ofsted must rate Aureus secondary school as inadequate

Needs an Ofsted to highlight this school's issues

Very poor communication and slow to respond to important queries. High staff turnover - the school appears to be struggling despite a reasonable catchment area. Not yet had Ofsted inspection - Covid deferred their first one. Has potential once the academy that runs it has proof of deficiencies.

No doors on toilet block

The school needs major staffing improvements in my opinion. The maths department is seriously bad. Also the toilet blocks do not have doors, have cameras pointing in the block and the locks on stalls have been removed
