A very happy eductation at Bushey Meads
My son left in 2025, he was incredibly happy and successful at Bushey Meads School. The teaching staff were enthusiastic and encouraging. Some went the extra mile. If your child is respectful and attentive they will thrive at this school.

Caring and empathetic staff at bushey meads

Bullying
I am appalled at the lack of communication and help that my grandson received from this school, my grandson is being bullied after complaining they sat the culprit behind my grandson in a class, they have also given my daughter the wrong e.mail for the school governors three times. She has complained many times and had no response. Instead of dealing with the bully or expelling him my grandson is being forced to leave the school. It has affected him badly. There should be zero tolerance for bull...

Don’t tackle bullying
Terrible school. The turnover of teachers is relentless. My youngest son is currently being bullied and the school has an ‘it’s no big deal’ attitude. Speaking with others there is a serious bullying problem at this school. My eldest son says some of his teachers have even outright said to the kids ‘we are leaving because of the state of the school’ we had high hopes for this school, but it’s been such a terrible experience

Awful school
From my experience, this is the worse school in Bushey. The attitude towards students is awful. Unprofessional and helpless. In 2023/24 GCSE students hardly saw a Maths teacher. One of the Maths teacher was giving a blessing to his class half of the lesson instead of teaching. Most of the time students had a cover teacher, who has no relation to Maths. Teachers can’t manage student’s behaviour. The head teacher is never involved. Never ever even consider this school

Be Warned!!
Absolutely terrible school! My child was beaten up twice within a year at that school. They endured bullying the entire time of year 7 & 8 but school decided it wasn’t bullying because it wasn’t the same pupils! The school lied repeatedly to our faces regarding SENCO matters. The principal does not engage at all with neither students or parents and will refuse to meet with parents, he is also principal to multiple schools in London and Hertfordshire. Be warned!!

Do Not recommended
I'm not saying this just because I don't like school, but generally i would not recommend this place to anyone, the staff just do not care about you, anyone could tell and not to mention the poor hygiene.

Bullying
I was severely bullied at this school and the staff members didn’t seem to care, no matter how many reports I made or statements I wrote. When someone finally seemed to care, the people who bullied me didn’t get punished as I had wished, instead they just got ‘spoken to about it’ and then a 1 hour detention after school. I still felt unsafe at the school because the people who bullied me continued to laugh at me and make me feel horrible about myself, I eventually had to stop going to school and stay at home because nothing was being done

Not good!
They do not have experience staff in pastoral office who can dealt with year 7 students! Their judgment on the incidents in school base on the story of one child rather both! and not fairly done.

Pleasant
Some issues with teaching staff shortage, but generally nothing to complain about. Quite a few nice teachers, good d and t department, and also English and maths.

Terrible
Terribly managed. Some departments didn't have any proper teachers and used cover teachers as normal teachers for whole of GCSE.

Bushey Meads
im a student at this school-they generally dont care about us. most teachers are only there to feel like they have contributed in society however they only lead sad little lives controling children for income.
