    Aegism

    I returned to Howden School for a supply teaching day about two years ago, having worked there many times previously, including six months teaching IT. Most of the day went well, but during the final English lesson some pupils made age-related remarks about me, including muttering about “the old man” in the room. I reported this to the school before leaving and also to my agency, but received no follow-up from either. Having taught in hundreds of schools over the years, I understand that suppl...

    Reasons braytons bad

    The teachers call you dumb for not getting a answer write. They put students in isolation for the smallest of reason and when it comes to caring about the schools mental help they hardly care. Some of the teachers girls when we have told them not to. And teachers don’t allow us to go to the toilet when we need it. The school allows students to get away with bullying and making false rape accusations against another student and they suspend students for the stupidest things

    do not go to this hell hole

    i could make a list that goes on for years 1. don’t care about any personal needs or mental health problems you are going through and you just have to get on with the work 2. if you are feeling ill it’s “see how you are in 5 minutes then let me know if you’re any better” and when you’re not it’s “let me get on call” and you don’t even go home you just have to sit doing the work even if you are in pain that it’s hard to focus 3. the homework is a lot just for 11 year old kids starting in year 7 a...

    Hell hole

    Absolutely shite. The teachers don’t give a fuck ab mental health. All teachers are creeps and weird. Some teachers just stress you out with GCSEs instead of Acc teaching you. Overall shit school, shit environment and extremely overrated.

    Brayton academy review.

    Unfortunately, while at this academy I was not at all enjoying it mainly because of bullying and how teachers react to bullying, although they have a bullying policy, they do not handle it well. I was bullied by social media, physically, mentally and how I looked. I rate this school one star because its just a standing red flag. Full off crappy teachers, rules and students. And also the so called "head teacher" always sat in his office doing nothing but drinking tea and eating biscuits because that's what it seemed like. Shit school ?

    Amazing support

    So much better than the school I went to before hand. Staff actually take Time out of their day to ensure students are okay. Yes, the corridors can be quite crowded but that's the same with multiple schools. Other than that the school has been a great help to me over the past 5 years.

    Don't send your kids here.

    This place is terrible, the good teachers get replaced constantly until they find a bad teacher who gets to stay. The discipline system is far too hard on students. The corridors are a nonstop crush and were even before covid. Don't send your kids here.

    The stuff you learn is alright but the teachers can be really unfair about things and you get detentions and isolations for the smallest things
