im a student at this school in year 8 and my advice would be for parents dont bring ur child here. the children at this school are harsh and u will get sevrely bullied if you dont look and act a way. students at this school also jump people and theres a few severe cases when someone had to go to hospital because of a fight and another time on a trip. They force religion many times they make other faiths say catholic prayers even though its not there religion. the staff dont care about ur mental health at all they only care about the money at the end of the day. one staff told my cousin she doesnt have autism she just needs to sleep more. my cousin and others have been told they dont have mental health issues and my cousin js came back as autstic adhd and anxiety and they have been telling her she doesnt have it and blaming it on her. so many times i and others have been blamed for things we didnt do and the staff will believe the person who is smarter and more polite and not care about the people who struggle and maybe arent so polite. im moving schools soon because this school has took such a toll on my mental health in a bad way. dont go to this school
This school forces non-Christian students to pray and harasses people for not engaging with prayer. "It's a Christian School!!" Respect other's beliefs. Not everyone goes here because it's Christian, but also because of how close to their houses it is, and other reasons.
This school also doesn't care about people with disabilities. Won't name who but someone with ADHD was given multiple detentions from teachers for being unable to focus on the lesson, which is... a symptom of ADHD. 🤯🤯Meanwhile bullies in this school are never punished. Say a swear word and you're sent to a break time detention, harass someone with a group of others and teachers become NPCs in a stealth mission, only seeing you when you're up in their faces.
Also, art teachers tell us to "not rush" and then give us a limited time frame to work in. Make it make sense.
We only read old rubbish books in English lessons and no creative writing. My sister is a year below me and she is already doing the same level of maths that I am doing in top set. They put bad kids in with good kids as if it will make them be less bad but in reality it stops anyone from learning. We have 3 religious education lessons a week and have to say 2-3 prayers every day, and get told off for not saying them even if you arent religious or part of another religion, like a fair amount of the school is.
This school is the most supported school all the staff is kind and caring. They bring laughs and help to prepare you too become an young adult. No Matter what disabilities, cultrue, or even if you don't need help with lessons this school is amazing. They have a really fantastic senco team with learning mentors to do 1-1 with a child. An amazing safeguarding team. No Matter what day your having this school has the most amazing supported school I have been too. The headteacher is wonderful to he makes sure everyone and everything is safe, he talks to every student when they come in. All teachers and students make this school such an safe environment and building for you to come every day to learn. From me I wouldn't achieve my GCSE'S without this senco team they strive towards to make you a good person of good character and so you can highly achieve your GCSE when ur time comes.
After eating here, my son had food poisoning for days. Reported this to the school and they ignored my email!!!
Gave the school cafeteria another try with the food, because we suspected that maybe the food poisoning was caused by some other food my son ate, for a week and after 3 days, my son found a bloody fly in his chicken. Ridiculous.
The teachers were friendly and taught well.
The school has a nice welcoming atmosphere and it was enjoyable most of the time.
Overall it's a good school.
