    Concerns for this school

    This school is very strict. Some teachers pick on certain students for uniform etc, however letting others get away with it. Putting shutters on the bathrooms? some students have bladder problems. They should be allowed to go the the toilet when they want. More recently they care more about are appearances rather than are studies. EG. putting students in isolation for minor issues that do not deserve isolation. Students not being allowed to wear lashes, nails, jewellery is ridiculous as some stu...

    Negative

    To najgorsza szkoła, nauczyciele mają rasistowskie podejście do Polaków, edukacja jeden wielki śmiech na sali, nauczyciele faworyzuje angielskie dzieci, wiele zdarzeń gdy polskie dziecko jest prześladowanie przez rówieśników nauczyciele nie reagują na skargi od rodziców, wszystko jest zamiatane pod dywan, Polskie dzieci są prześladowanie przez nauczycieli za naprawdę niedorzeczne rzeczy jak obuwie które spełnia wszystkie wymogi szkoły, to jest rasistowskie podejście, w gorące dni jest wymagane ż...

    disappointed

    I think this school is absolutely disgusting. The way they speak to my children the way they deal with certain situations and I don’t think it’s right how anybody should be spoken to like that and they never listen to my children and they always just think that they’re right because they’re adults and they think they can treat people different because of their age when age is just a number

    miss this place. was decent

    miss this place. remember the grace vs wiseman beef was jokes ?. teachers were alright. the bants we had was the best though. when people say you’ll miss school they were right. i mean the teachers weren’t the best and this was in 2010 to 2015. but we ran that place. shoutout anyone that remembers wiseman massive ?. back then we messed about and stuff but it was good because you could really do whatever you wanted. ive heard its alot different now though, especially from reading these reviews. back then you didnt need to wear your blazer, you could wear trainers, phones were allowed. ive heard its alot stricter now though so peak for whoever goes there now

    Priorities

    Some decent teachers have been made redundant over the past few years...in the end the kids lose out.

    Terrible

    They do not handle bullying well at all. The students’ behaviour from there is disgraceful.. in school and out of school. The school itself is a bit of a mess and confusing for a child to get around

    they’ve really gone downhill since Mrs Knight left

    the school was great in like 2011-2016 but now they’ve added way too many rules, they’ve added gates to stop us from walking around school and basically keep us entrapped in one area of the school, like gates around the school are necessary but what are they doing putting them in side the school aswell. the school’s management have lost it and the 6 form is disconnected from the rest of the school and they dont even feel apart of it.

    please read!!!!

    tbh i really dont like this school. i mean it was good around 2016 before they brought in the new rules ughhhh. the new rules they keep changing and they keep getting worse. the teachers suck all of them suck except the math teachers theyre alright. now the SLT are just plain stupid like so many kids have got the virus right. so what the bloody are we still doing in school. now you can take into account all the people who were in contact with said Covid positive people BUUUUT what they are failing to see is that what about the things theyve touched then or the seats theyve sat in. and dont try and lie to me and they clean everything very well and everyday because that would be a lie. liek the cleaner comes in and cleans ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE DOOR ill have u know, and i write on tables a lot and my doodles usually take a few days before they are gone so you dont really clean anything do you? and what about the kids who hand out the books or lend someone a pen. so ill say agian the SLT are stupid and annoying they all have like god complexs. like they think they are literally so great but it just makes them annoying. right now tbf they do get alright grades ill give them that HOWEVER... the teaching sucks. like the teachers have bad attitudes and when they cba they dont teach. now i can understand that kids can be annoying and not listen BUTTTTT were just kids what do you expect. ofc were gonna try and do our own thing are you dumb. but fr can we talk about the green gates. ? they make me laugh man. what are they for though? so if i was a parent reading this pondering where to send your kid next year. mate i strongly advise you to pick somewhere else. honestly it may look great in terms of grades and stuff but dont let that fool you, they are a school with countless flaws and maybe i am a little biased because i experienced the school first hand and you wont hear any kid saying how much they loved their school but come on this school is so bad. im not hating though im just saying

    Uhhhh

    It's always school appearance before the students, not all teachers take their positions seriously, kind of feels like hell </3
