    Overly populated .

    Awful high school, too many pupils insufficient number or teachers. Over populations has had a dentrimental impact on the longer educational needs of the pupils. Bassaleg only stands out as the schools within close proximity are of a poor standard. The schools is able to cherry pick its pupil from certain locations . For example they allow pupils from the Marshfield area but will not accept any child applying from the near by neighbourhood of Duffryn. I am truly amazed by how they have managed...

    Living on past reputation

    Appalling school living off the reputation of 15 years ago an environment of bullying and apathy that’s just the teachers some people are not fit for this important role the disciplinary system is non existent the acceptance to recognise that it has a terrible behaviour problem is ridiculous and the fact they do not make public incidents that should be shared with parents is beyond belief

    Bassaleg

    In the New building I believe that the teachers are making up procedures and then disbanding them almost immediately for example today the teachers made the main staircase out of bounds at 11:05am and later at 01:12 they then called of the most important corridor in the school and made the students do a lap of their beloved building. Then there are also some teachers who have fat shamed some students and I am one among many eyewitnesses and I can be assured that the head teacher can sort out th...

    Poor!

    Only a few teachers can properly teach. The school is practically falling down and they care more about the uniform than anything else.

    Bad school

    I'd say this is a bad school. I'm currently in yr 10 at bassaleg school and its not a good school. The teachers don't care about mental health or consider anything someone might be going through. People in Bassalegschool get away with racism, trandphobic comments and they don't have strict enough rules. To add the teaches are not strict enough, its really distracting to peoples learning because of a few people in the class. All this needs to be changed otherwise its just going to keep going down...

    School is a dumpster fire

    terrible school, staff care more about appearance the mental health, if you’re sport oriented or popular you’ll probably get more attention and get away with bullying, racism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism. If you get a group of 10 pupils at least 4 will be on drugs. Some teachers could barely be classed as teachers unless a while class is capable of learning by reading from a board. Sexual assault and harassment isn’t out of the ordinary. Had to rely on youtube and other stuff to actually do well in tests and stuff.

    It’s just the area

    The school is not as it seems. I am a year 11 student and I believe the only reason the grades are decent is because of the area that the school is situated in. The teachers often only explain things the way that they understand things rather than giving others a chance, therefor forcing me to get a tutor. The odd teacher actually cares about the students mental health, but the majority just ask because it’s in their job description. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in fact I’d be more likely to warn people about the school, if you are prepared to get tutors and extra help outside of the school then you will be fine but if not you may struggle.

    It’s on the good side of okay

    Good teachers other than a couple, but the building is borderline derelict and the SLT teams are often more interested in uniform quality than actual learning. Have handled the pandemic as well as they could have though.

    Unsatisfactory

    The school is ok I mean I am a year 11 currently and the building is falling apart although we have money for renevations the forge building is not being fixed. Some of the teachers don’t understand how to control a class and do not effectively teach which has therefore lead me to get tutors
