    horrible school

    absolutely horrendous school there’s few good teachers, most are liars and pure manipulators, everyone in that school are chavvy and normalise being a chav and horrible to people. and the behaviour situation is so so bad please fix your school before thinking you can scream at kids who aren’t yours. the isolation and detentions are so unfair same with the attendance system i had friends who had 30% and barely heard a word i had 80% and everyone was up my arse about it the 100% target there least...

    A vey poor high school

    Unlucky enough to go to school there in the 80s and the worst years for me. Poor teachers and nasty pupils where bullying was common but little done to tackle it.

    A sixth former review!

    School is just overall pretty mid. I'm currently attending the sixth form at this school, I've been through some bullying in my lifetime here, and I felt none of the teachers could really help me when I needed it. Somewhat ignorant to mental issues, and feels like teachers only job is to teach rather than support students as well. There has some been some improvements in inclusivity in the form of a LGTBQ+ club (I'm not apart of it myself, but it's good to see). Sadly, bullying is very common a...

    dont come here lol

    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.

    Terrible

    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...

    Not the best at handling bullying

    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?

    Don't go there

    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
