honestly, the school is shit. there is so much pressure for exams. the bullying is ridiculous, I'm transgender and gay and currently attend the school and it's been hell. there is 1 decent teacher who runs a LGBTQ club on a Friday though people take the mick out of the group. ive heard so many people being galled slurs around the school for example "fags" "trannys" i can't walk around school without being deadnamed or misgendered. even teaches misgender me when i have told them consistently that i am not a girl i am a boy. the teachers refuse to let us use the toilet half the time and we were supposed to go during the break but that's taking away basic human rights, we are children we can't control when we need the toilet. i refused to go to school in year9 9 due to constant bullying, this lead onto one of the workers in school telling e i was faking everything for attention. my head of year is amazing i love him hes helped alot, he had told me if i needed to get out a lesson due to personal reasons to go to pupil reeption and ask to be put in a room quietly by myself. i went to do this as i had a panic attack before maths and i went to pupil reception to ask if i can have a quiet room, my head of year told them to expect me and to do it yet they sent me to go speak to a deputy's head or something then she sent me back to the woman who told me i was faking it all. after speaking to the woman she said she wouldnt call my mum and as soon as i left the room she called my mum. i fucking hate the school i could say so much more but i have about 15 assignments due.
the school does nothing about bullies, if your going to send ur kinds here dont. its a shit whole.
Teachers are horrible and never help you sign anything, too much pressure during exams and always say they don’t want you to make the school look bad, don’t care about bullying or mental health problems, some students put up at LGBTQ poster thing in the windows and were told to take it down, teachers had unrealistic expectations like homework being in for the next day even tho lots of us had jobs and sports to attend, students were vile and never got disciplined for bullying, only good thing was the science department some of the teachers were actually alright
Had experienced bullying on multiple occasions yet i was told i should just “ignore them” by a teacher. Disgraceful. As well as this i know others who were told they need to maybe stay out of school for a while for it to stop. Why affect your own education because of others?
Bad experience teachers aren't trained to regonsied things they should actually had teachers picking on me infornt of a whole class, insesnative, don't help people with social anxiety, options are very limited compared to other schools wish I'd had known this before I went there otherwise i wouldn't t have gone
Support is non existant
Safe guarding manger insulted me because I didn't feel like what the did was any help found it made life harder then told me I was choosing not to help myself dipsite the fact she broke confidentiality by speaking to a friend as apperntly I was to quiet so she decided to do that which was our of order
