Single Fathers get ignored

Absolutely shameful school and staff when it came to me, a single Father that’s co-parenting after splitting up with my children’s mother. The staff instantly isolated me away from all information about my children’s schooling, education, parents night, activities and progress. Instead of the school being impartial to the situation, they took sides and listened to the lies of my children’s mother.
The constant attempts from me to speak to a member of staff, my emails, hand written letters, voice mails and letters from my solicitor were, and still are, ignored simply because I am the Father.
Even my requests to find out that I am still on the emergency contact list were ignored, until I was told that they need the mothers permission to give me that information. Then they were surprised when I pointed out that I, the Father, am my children’s parent.
Speaking to other single Fathers with children at this school, the same is happening to them.
A disgusting practise and attitude from this school to single Fathers.

the truth

hated it. racism is crazy and not dealt with here. punishments don't do anything to the children and underlying bullying are never investigated. sometimes teachers pick on students themselves. it's ridiculous. i don't recommend going here.

Do not bring your child at this school

This school is absolutely horrible do not bring your child here at all. I have had to deal with bullying, and people making fun of me (I have autism and ADHD) everyone makes fun of me because of it. My mental health is really bad because of this school they never do what they say they always talk to the people that are being rude but that just makes it more worse and the teachers are horrible I don’t trust them they tell your secrets to other teachers they never help you and ever since year 7 they have not being helping me (I also have learning difficulties) and they also never help you in self-harm (I have experienced this) and I hate this school I try to get time off.When I has in primary I never had panic attacks but now I nearly have one every day it’s the worst they try help you but it never works I have become more hesitant with friends because they never work out for me this one girl who is horrid spreader lies about me and now no-one likes me even teachers they never like me (the girl even said that she’s getting bullied by me to her mum and I have not bullied anyone and her mum is trying to get a “consequence” for me which I think is totally unfair and wrong. Do not bring your child here

A complete joke

The pastoral care at the school is nothing more than a complete joke when it comes to bullying! They do not deal with it at all. Furthermore, the leadership changes every five minutes - there is no need for so many different varieties of headteacher: Head, Deputy Head, Senior Deputy Head, Assistant Head, Senior Assistant Head, Associate Head. What a load of mindless bureaucracy! The positions just give them an opportunity to promote their friends.

REALLY BAD

I get bullied/hated on by a friendship group of like 50-60 students and i tell other teachers all they do is have 30 minute long lecture about being nice and kind to others it didn’t help at all in fact it made it worse the teachers despise me and give me L2’s for no reason at all most of the time the fire alarm goes off with people pulling it to get out of class the corridors are vary narrow and full of yr 11’s pointing at you showing there mates. Outside isn’t interesting at all literally a few benches and a basketball hoops and thats about it for outside. You would think safety is there priority but no it isn’t if people are fighting they just whistle at them so safe. Barely any after school/ in school activities. The teachers are so awkward to talk to bc you can’t trust them at all they will tell every other teacher what you have told them. The girls get the most comments and detentions bc of jewellery,lashes,makeup,skirt rolled up too far all that bc the boys are going to get distracted. When you put your hand up in class the teachers completely ignore you and carry on with the lesson. They order stuff e.g. math sets that you didn’t even order and make you pay for it. 0/10 never again

Please don’t come

This school is nothing but sexist girls aren’t even allowed to show their bloody shoulders because it will be distracting for the boys and when it’s non uniform day your not allowed ripped jeans because it will distract boys ; like really who’s attracted to kneecaps let’s be real it’s purely out of spite. They are ridiculously strict on uniform an appearance but should focus more on the teachers and their behaviour. They have also said countless times in assembly’s and such about helping children who don’t feel safe or are depressed etc but do not make any of these people better just worsen their experience. The only good thing about this school is the food but in the end it’s just so unhealthy and greasy that we will all come out looking like oversized potatoes

Great for Conservative Catholic

This school overall teaches Conservative Catholic beliefs: queer is bad, abortion is bad and short skirts and tight trousers distract boys etc. However, the large majority of teachers are really nice and supportive and the teaching standard is great.

Bullying

I experienced bullying at this school and this cause a number of mental health issues for me. The staff seemed like they were trying but it never stopped.

Bullying is rife and not dealt with

Shocking anti-bullying efforts from year leaders, ordinary teachers and headteacher alike. If you send your child here the staff may pretend to deal with bullying but actually do nothing of impact. However, some of the teaching staff are extremely experienced and are obviously well-educated. Obviously this does not apply to the bureaucratic middle management and nepotism when it comes to some staff appointments.
