Review
I'm a student there and it might as well be a dictatorship with the school uniforms. I was not allowed to attend PE for TWO WEEKS because I didn't have my shirt and tie and the teachers are bad aswell, one time in art I thought a paint roller sounded like a star wars blaster when you spin it and the teacher started shouting at me "DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF YOU BROUGHT A REAL GUN TO SCHOOL AND SHOOT EVERYONE?!" and then sent me out for half an hour and I was let In at the END OF THE PERIOD, and then the next week I was behind because of that and she said if I don't finish it I'll have to go back at break even though it was HER FAULT that I was behind I then get pulled out period 4 cus obviously I didn't go. Shit school
Don't come here
This school sucks wouldn't recommend it. You do prelims 3 times year are overloaded with homework so you have no free time. I haven't made any friends because everyone who seems nice at first then does something if you know what I mean. For the sake of your own sanity do not come here. The only thing I can say is the outside nature is pretty.
