Bury Church of England High School

Horrible unsafe school Teachers badly behaved - shout swear and threaten Pupils allowed to bully others Badly run by ineffective uninterested governors and head Stay away - keep your children safe

The school is the textbook definition of hell on earth. Do NOT enroll your child into this school- what you see on the website and on any public days is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!! This school will mentally, physically and emotionally DRAIN your child, especially if they're coming into school as a year 7. Some of the people at this school will make it their God given mission to make your childs life a living hell (this can be from students or teachers) . You may think this happens everywhere, which is true HOWEVER, if it gets to the point where the bullying is that bad, just know that bcehs will NOT support you or your child. Infact, there is a good chance that they will actually support the bully and try to tell you as a parent that your child blew the situation wayy out of proportion (love the gaslighting) and it is now under control (it is not). This method of 'sorting things out' is a regular practice that is used to keep 'pushy parents' out of these situations!!!. If you were to inform the school of the event that is severely upsetting your child (who is the victim) I am telling you right now that your child will be ignored by 90% of the staff who may have to get involved! If your child stops attending school due to the situation worsening , just know that you will be payed a very special visit by some walking talking highlighters to try and encourage you to push your child to their breaking point once more!! Unfortunately, the school is terribly short on staff who care for your child's mental well being and academic status. There are small amount of teachers who offer both these qualities and many more but very few of those teachers are in higher positions in school,so if they were to raise the issue, they're likely to be ignored too. This is a warning to NOT put your child into such a toxic and negative environment that will remove every last ounce of purity, joy and their will live. It will scar them for an eternity.

They are the worst for sorting things out

Dreadful food Decaying building with rats Bullying is common and teachers say they can t do anything about it - I was badly bullied And ended up missing out on education - teachers seem scared of pupils whose behaviour is pretty awful . I did nt feel safe there and there was no pastoral support - was nt the caring Christian school it makes itself out to be

Don t deal with bullying- good kids leave so lawless fighting kids left - weapons in school - fights - poor discipline allround terrible school

i attended this school a few years back and i barley attended due to bullying. the school didn’t do anything to help and actually put the blame on myself! my parents had been into the school for several meetings & made hundreds of phone calls but nothing was ever sorted! unless you are seen as ‘normal’ don’t attend this school. i am unable to walk unaided and they made me walk up the stairs 3-4 times a day!! so if you need extra support i wouldn’t recommend! i missed a full year of my education to work on myself after what the bullying had done to me. and after the one year i moved to a different school as i was missing the social aspect of being in school.

I leave this school on the 28th of May 2021 forever, and overall throughout the years this school has been great. Majority of teachers there are amazing, the days aren't too long and there is a wide range of things to do. Food is also pretty good here. I've never been bullied at this school and haven't seen any bullying.

I leave this school forever on the 28th of May. Over the years i've been here it's been a great school, food is quite good, lessons are decent and the days aren't too long. Staff are nice overall, with only 1 or 2 teachers i dislike

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to go to school anymore, yet I don’t want to move either, as I’ll be leaving my friends behind and the bully’s will think that they’ve won. I’ve fallen down a metaphorical pit ever since I arrived. I was always happy at the start, and now I’m not. They’re good on the education side, yet dealing with bullying is another story. The school doesn’t even care about the fact I’ve tried ending my own life because of them. They’re the reason I’m like this. They shout at me when I don’t do any work, yet they use excuses after excuses to not sort stuff out. It actually took my father to come into school and to threaten them for something to be done about it. I’m quite convinced that it’ll actually take someone to succeed in killing themselves and to write in their final letter that this is the schools fault for something to be done about it.

Not a bad school tbh

Amazing school with enthusiastic and supportive staff!
