Bunch of dragged up kids
The children of this school are so so so rude I’ve never seen such badly behaved kids the language they use is disturbing and they don’t care if your walking past with young kids they will not move forcing you to walk in the road with young children

Overall
The teachers deal with behaviour better now than what they did before, more people attending lessons because reset is boring and less places to skip. The food is nice, teachers are nice to you if your nice to them. The bullying has recently been delt with.

DO NOT SEND UR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL PLEASE
This school is terrible. Everyday we have to work our butt's of js to get shouted at for doing one little thing wrong.Were expected to do labour all day for 7 hours.And don't even get me started on the bullying. The teachers n staff don't do anything,on duty break and luck they don't pay attention to anyone n I understand there's a lot of kids there but still. You can still see things happening like Friday me n my girlfriend was getting food chucked at us for no reason by there's group of boys n teachers didn't do anything,ever reporting it to a member of staff. They still won't do anything. I would not recommend this school to any parents if u want a daughter,son to have mental health issues or even death bc of this school. By-not saying names bc I'll get reset if I do

brownhills is horrendous
as a student who went to the school from year 7 (2021) who had to leave in the middle of year 10 (2025) i can say this school is utter shit. they dont help with ANYTHING at all and the teachers are absolute bull crap. id think twice before sending your kid here unless you want it to come back with severe mental issues.

Great school
This may have been a bad school (not the preferred) in the past. This is now an amazing school in my opinion, that offers superb extra circular activities, numerous trips. My numerous visits on site, I see pupils that have respect and generally good behaviour, this I feel is a culmination of strict rules, but also respect between teachers and pupils equally. The music and arts setup is fabulous if your child is into it.

Consider carefully if your child has additional needs
Unfortunately this is not a good review. Please please please if you are considering your child who has additional needs to attend this school I advise against it. It is united like a military camp. This is not ok for children who need a little more understanding, patience and occasionally accepting that the school rules cannot work for neurodiverse children. The headteacher does not recognise this or even the senco lead herself. These children then are led to believe they are the problem. Yes t...

No care for children what so ever!
My daughter was bullied, on the coach and at the school I complained nothing was done until a young lad pointed it out. She told me she was attemptedly sexually abused she came home with spit in her hair. Eventually she had to leave because her mental health plummeted Also year sevens were manipulated into taking the covid vaccines by school nurses and a science teacher. If you want your child to suffer send them here. I really didn’t think there were schools as bad as this!

It’s not the school it’s the staff just terrible
Myself and a lot of others Wish we never went there, I advise no one to go there for those who are in year 6. Make out they care but they couldn't care less about your mental health they just make your life a misery. they just put stress upon stress on you always moaning about every little thing, Always trying to control you. Rather than sorting out actual problems they go around making comments about every little thing on any student they can see scanning you as soon as you walk into the school...

Bulling
As a former parent of this school and now have grandchildren in the school,policies for bulling have not changed in over 10 years they seem to stick the heads in the sand ,it's a joke if you go on the website there policies for bulling say that they don't accept it so why is the school not doing anything about it.

4 years of my life ill never get back
I wish i could give it zero the teachers dont do anything to help with your mental health , i got an apple thrown at my shoulder which has caused chronic pain and they did absolutely nothing even though they watched the person do it. The teachers pick favourites and refuse to help the students who acctually struggle learn. People throw stuff in the corridors and vape in the toilets , if you hate your child so much you wish for them to commit suicide i recommend sending them to brownhills.

Needs improvement
Generally a terrible school. No support to students experiencing bullying, abuse, sexual assault or bigotry. No support to struggling parents either, their first reaction are threats.

School review
Well they don't handle the Sexual assault very well. My friends have been sexually assaulted by tbe same girl multiple times and the school never do anything. We hardly ever learn about black history, Asian history or any other cultures history. The students there aren't the nicest and they get away with making sexist, racist and homophobic comments. There's only a few teaches I would be comfortable with reporting something to them. The sports side to the school is very good quality though.
