This school doesn’t do much about horrible students and then wonders why ppl don’t come

This school sucks. I'm gonna say it. I had a breakdown because a teacher told my parents I had harmed myself, even after I told them it could potentially put me in danger at home. There were times when I have had major breakdowns and begged to go home but they made me sit in a packed corridor for 3 hours before sending me back to class. If a kid is sick, they just send them back to class. There is no regard for children's safety. The phone rules are awful too. Like, cmon. If they see the outline of your phone in your pocket, they just take it from you. Teachers have obvious favourites and have no regard for anyone else in the class. Staff don't do anything about sexual assault, harassment and bullying. And if a kid fights back, they'll get in trouble for it. The wellbeing team also suck. It took three different people to call the school to get them to check up on me, and all they do is pull me out of class and that's it. Doesn't matter who's around. I asked for a pass to leave class early because I get easily overwhelmed and even then, that was denied or ignored until a temporary head of year stepped in and saw me leave class because I was crying my eyes out. Bullying gets so bad, there's fights between years, and then the older years get blamed because they should know better, even if the younger ones started it. The stress is making people physically ill and the attendance rates are dropping for that. Please go somewhere else, don't cause yourself extra stress, it isn't worth it.

This school doesn’t let students express themselves like if a child wanted to express themselves with hair colour or piercing they are given a punishment I don’t think the students should be punished for expressing themselves the way they want to. Students are told “we care” or “no student left behind” well that’s funny because no student is treated with equality. Children don’t attend school because the teachers practically bully their students. I would not send my child here for the basic reason they aren’t teaching what the real world is like when they go off into their careers.

The teachers here are horrible and do not care about their students and prioritise children’s uniform over their education. Teachers lock toilets so students don’t have access and out gates in-front of bathrooms, even though going to the toilet is a human right under the “right to sanitation” meaning it is illegal for the teachers to stop students. Yet if students walk out to go to the toilet they will get excluded.
