    Do not send your kids here.

    Honestly if you're thinking of sending your kids to this school, don't. Since Fiona Laywood has become headteacher, the school has now become more discriminative and so bias towards those who are not british white. Don't get me wrong the school is very multicultural, kids are great! But the headteacher does not ignore colour. If students of different cultures/ ethnic groups were to do something british white students did, the whites are still perfect in her eyes and deserve no punishment but...

    Bad skl

    This skl is the worst skl in Leicester. the teachers can’t teach especially my old science teacher miss W she can’t teach at all. The x and y band ting is stupid since yu can’t even see your mates half of the time and barely and lessons with them and at lunch time you get forced to stay inside which is pathetic and we have lunch at different time like years. Honestly so bad please don’t go here for your sake

    Babington

    do not recommend contemplated suicide many times because of the draconian measures the school applies even though it isn’t even a really good school we don’t get taught anything useful and even if you did revision at home you still wouldn’t be able to get a good mark.the teachers pretend to be supportive but if a student is being blatantly homophobic or racist the teachers will act like the pupil was just in a ‘silly’ mood like....? the ‘SWOS’ are meant to be supportive and ppl students can talk to but no one can trust them. the amount of scandals that have happened in the school is off the charts such as fires in the girls bathroom? and no teachers even mentioned it.

    Good school

    It’s very good. The staff are lovely, supportive and they really do help you when you need it. The students are really great and I recommend any person to go there.

    Online school

    Can be good, can be bad, they’ve not done much during this COVID, during the online calls when I can’t see or hear they do nothing about it
