    I despise this school for WAY too many reasons honestly

    I had a giant burn on my wrist from a hair curler and was told that the pe teacher "didn't care" and if I wanted to sit out then I needed a note while the only parent that has time to write them had a severely injured arm and couldn't write. We were doing javelin throwing, and I wasn't allowed to sit out with an injured wrist (it was my right hand and I AM RIGHT HANDED???)

    Great school, staff are supportive.

    Staff at Caldew are supportive and go the extra mile. All my children excelled at Caldew and went on to Uniand got good jobs. Would recommend to other parents.

    ABSOLUTE SHITHOLE.

    ABSOLUTE SHIT HOLE? the extra support system is horrible and the assistant teachers are just rude at times. Teachers do not care about you and assistant teachers will ignore a kid struggling unless they’re in the extra support system and even then it’s bad. It’s really just to a horrible school and it’s had really bad effects on mental health. The students are also shitty and it’s especially bad if your different EG: queer, trans, disabled, mental issues/disorders, or just not a chav. Also they’re not good with trans students and will not let teachers calm students by their preferred names…I dislike being in Caldew a lot.

    Do not recommend caldew at all

    Utter shit hole. Horrible school. teachers treat u like shit they don't give u any help what so ever The PE teacheers don't give a shit if ur injured or ill and if u do get away with sitting out they make u do there job and tidy up after everyone (for example a PE teacher made someone with a boot on there foot go around and pick up cones ect) students treat each other like animals and and are constantly rude anyone can get into the school through the back by pulling the door even without a key...
