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, voic...

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.

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 fe...

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.

shskna
bad girls cant wear tight trousers as it distracts the boys. skirts must be knee length so the boys arent distracted. blazer sleeves arent allowed rolled up as it distracts the boy so sexist and awful example such a sexist enviroment

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.
