Do NOT work here

Mistreatment and bullying of staff is rife here. Worst employer with uncaring senior management. Bev Williams is a disgrace as is Lyndsay.

Needs to understand more about mental health

Since I started at this school I felt my face didn’t fit and I was labelled by certain teachers. Some teachers have no empathy or regard for the mental health of their students and I have been humiliated a number of times by the same smug teacher . Who laughs after every long speech he gives you . Then says YES YES . If you go this school you know who this is . Pupils Should be treated with respect the same we have to give the teachers . But some don’t care and make you feel like crap and worthless. It’s a form of bullying but they won’t ever believe you. I would not recommend this school worst time of my life when at times felt I didn’t want to be here anymore .

Not very bosh

One of my teachers put on 'gnomeo and Juliet' as revision material. We hadn't even read the book (this was at the end of the school year)

rubbish place

the school nowadays is too needy as the crucial uniform is £150 and the school only gets necessary holidays, it is a dull, boring school that rarely any fun gets into,barely any help is provided to get into homework sites,and your money can be drained in a matter of days thanks to the overpriced goods at the cafeteria and fights happen alot,overall avoid sending anyone here!!!

I’ve never been to a more crappy school

To start of i put challenging to 5 stars the reason for that is because they challenge us to much and never tell us what we are doing but we then get shouted at for not doing are work when the teachers don’t even know what the work is. The teachers are racist too, i have 2 black girls in my classes and teachers always mistake eachovers names and say common mistake dont point out that there black. Bullying is actually out of control and wellbeing just says that they will put you on a plan and next time to tell them to shut up and if you say that you cant say that they shout at you for being rude. The hallway rules is so weird like theres this one set of stairs its quite wide but ur only aloud to go down it u cant go up but u can go both ways on any other stairs. The fire alarm is bloody scary i think last time i actually pooed myself. Uniforms shit, the skirts look like nun skirts and if we roll them up even once suddenly we are sluts and we arent even aloud one bracelet or necklace but theres nothing wrong with them i dont see anything wrong with a girl trying to look pretty. And the safety and security is shit, people are always hopping the fences out of school and here’s always fight tbh im not mad about that for me thats great but for the school they shouldn’t really be letting them do that oh yeah and the sanction for getting in a fight is just like an hours detention after school. Over all this school makes me want to kill myself im not over exaggerating and no its wont help if you put me on a plan and no putting me on a plan will not make my severe anxiety go away. This school is fucking rubbish dont go here unless u feel like u need some motivation to kill yourself.

Ass school

I’ll never forget being told to prioritize my studies over my mental health when I explained that I wanted to end my life <3

Hated it

I’ll forever be appalled at this school. Misogynistic rules on the girls uniform are prioritised over bullying and your own mental well-being. All staff members like to treat you like an enemy on the contrary to being an adult you feel secure with or that you can reside in; you were lucky if you didn’t get picked on for something ridiculous whilst walking past them in the corridors. I can recall being screamed at for my socks being over my knees and told that I need to show my thighs rather than conceal them simply due to the fact over the knee socks can be perceived as sexual. I was 12, and you made me feel like I should be ashamed of myself for something I wasn’t aware could be perceived as sexual. Thanks for six years of sexualising my uniform, making me feel ashamed and uncomfortable because the way I look could be baiting your pedophile staff members and my male peers. Maybe those countless assemblies on girls uniform could have been used to teach the boys how to be respectful to girls, but you people tend to dislike targeting the actual problem and blaming it all on females.

//Also, I understand the toilets are open to the corridor to prevent bullying, but that never stopped it and is the stupidest, most uncomfortable feature of this building. Being directly opposite to the boys with no doors to the actual toilet so everyone can hear you pee even from the classroom? Nice one.
