    Yelled at for starting period.

    I attended this school as a student and had several negative experiences with how student concerns were handled. One incident that particularly stood out involved a member of the senior leadership team refusing to let me use the toilet after I explained that I had unexpectedly started my period, should i mention they go by the name miss. truselle?. I was told I could not go because I did not have a toilet pass, despite the fact that I had only just started my period and had not had an opportuni...

    Absolutely horrible

    The school is a disgrace due to the amount of mental health problems it causes.The teacher do not care about your well-being at all. A lot of students get rejected by the “wellness centre” safeguarding in the school doesn’t help those who are actually struggling in school.The amount of bullying in this school could go on the world records.The school only puts stricter rules as if that’s gonna stop people from bullying.This school is horrible,you can’t even help another student without getting in...

    horrible

    Absolutely horrible, ruined my mental health. I am not just talking about getting shouted at once so I cry, no, the teachers would bully us, belittle us and more. If your throwing up before school? You still have to come in to maintain attendance. But if you don’t have a tie? Or have the wrong coloured socks? You’re getting excluded. When you’re being bullied, they don’t care. The wellness centre is horrific too. So many people are in there who do not need it, many people just use it to skip les...

    Wouldn't recommend

    School is more interested in ankles and uniform than actually provide a safe nurturing environment. School to parent communication is poor and punishment is the answer to everything.

    Beckfoot Thornton is unsafe and neglectful.

    My experience at Beckfoot Thornton was marred by serious issues that the school failed to address adequately. Bullying was rampant, creating a toxic environment where many students, myself included, felt unsafe and unsupported. The administration's response to bullying incidents was inadequate, leading to a mass exodus of students seeking safer educational environments.Additionally, the school demonstrated a shocking disregard for reports of sexual assault. Victims were often left unsupported an...

    No, Just No

    It is not great at all to put it simply. Half of the teachers don’t care about your well-being or seem to just yell at you to stop being rude when you try to tell them what happened as if they expect someone who is breaking down to be able to form a whole sentence without mistakes. You get told off for the simplest of things like talking even if you were simply POINTING at a word to help the person next to you. Their education system is overall crap since most teachers are unable to meet a child...

    I wouldn't send my kid there

    The school is in a terrible condition. It is very unhygienic as there is litter and chewing gum under the tables and sticks to your legs. The teachers tell you off for no reason, even when your trying to help someone out. If you don't have your top button or tie done up properly they put you in isolation for the day. They have a very annoying "one-way" system that doesn't work because the corridors are very claustrophobic. Students are not allowed to be inside the building during lunch, if you are caught even with a valuable reason, they get you done. The headteacher touched my friend inappropriately outside of the school premises. The canteen has rats and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in over a decade. Every week there is a fight between students and the staff can't seem to control anything. Finally, the school has security cameras surrounding the buildings and in every corridor. (Rumour:Some students have said they are hidden cameras above the roof tiles in each classroom to watch students). There is barbed wire surrounding the outskirts of the school with even a some electric fence.
