Bridgewater High School

Education wise the best in Warrington

I'm a student here currently whose just gone to upper site and lower in my opinion is way more fun, I'm saying 3 stars because lots of the bad things about it is the things students do that teachers have no way of finding out.Some really nice teachers there that help you but a couple really horrid ones, the system with 5s and latest could be better as they are harsh to new people as well. Also the students are pretty bad for many things, such as vaping and bullying, at lower site nothing is that bad but at upper alot of people I know are definitely intimidated by bigger lads in y11 and get their stuff nicked sometimes, they prefer to stick with me because I'm pretty big, do mma and know much bigger people in y10

The school has several teachers who have teachers who have touched the underaged students in a weird way. Not only that, several departments in the school are severely underfunded and we have equipment that is over 20 years old. They never wash the PE bibs and the school does not let you go home when you are ill, even if you are throwing up. Several members of the staff are also racist, calling some of the foreign students ‘slaves’ whilst doing a whipping motion.

This school is not a school for any child who is anxious, inside their shell, neurodivergent etc. I was bullied (including physical attacks from boys as an 11-year-old girl) and was treated like a future criminal by the staff due to my reluctance to take part/be there. What did the staff expect? A child not even in their teens yet should not be in survival mode six hours a day five days a week in a place that is supposed to educate them and ensure their safety. The only thing I learned from this school was that I didn't have to be somewhere I was getting abused. So I stopped going. Again, I was treated like a future criminal because of this. I'd avoid lessons by walking the grounds (nobody ever noticed) due to anxiety and being in constant survival mode. Teachers do not care about bullying, the safety of students or helping those who could just do with a little extra help without feeling embarrassed/ostracised. The anti-bullying efforts included telling one of the boys who attacked me, to stop their behaviour in front of the whole form of 30 or whatever kids with me in their immediate view. Funnily enough, like another reviewer here, Mr. Morrison was probably the only staff member who treated me kindly, I really enjoyed his lessons. So if the school takes anything from this - give my guy a raise.

absolutely crap school! the school will actively allow bullying and refuse to put a stop to it, the majority of the staff there dont care about you, pastoral constantly tell you off for visiting during lessons but before school and during free times theres always other teachers in there telling you to get out, the lessons are boring, most of the teachers just tell you off and make you hate them and the school dont care about your wellbeing, only if you pass your gcses so it looks good on them. the sen support is crap, the staff just shout at you if you’re stressed and favouritise certain students, they REFUSE to give you the support you need and just think that because you’re academically intelligent you dont need any support. stay clear from this school!

The school is just a basic English secondary school, I am in yr 8 at the moment and it is boring as.

Through out my five years I never felt so unsafe in a school, the bullying was unbearable! The members of staff never once helped me always telling me to go back to lesson and when I was struggling with mental health they told me it’s because I’m a girl and I have hormones. One time when I was really bad, a student told me to end my life and told a teacher, they told me that it was “banter”. completely unsafe for students, fights always broke loose, students made fun of kids with disabilities. I had to sneak out of school to early to get home safe!

Wouldn’t recommend to anybody. The amount of bullying, harassment, physical harm, threats and homophobia you’ll witness is quite incredible. Brilliant lunch time entertainment, like kids pooing in pasta pots and kids rolling joints, which both are hard acts to follow. Must’ve cost them the whole school budget for them acts. Big up Mr Morrison though, he was an absolute lad ? oh and big up the 50p pizzas at break they were brill (send me the recipe please)

This place made me want to end it all. Food was decent though, so at least I wasn’t going to die from starvation. Just depression

Transphobia and homophobia from certain students with incredibly ignorant attitudes aswell as many other awful things from bullying being said it’s dealt with but it always comes back again. Need I mention the indoctrinated superiority complex.

homophobic transphobic misogynistic school it sucks and i’ve still got 3 years left wish my luck losers
