NEVER COME HERE [I warn you]

Do not here please as a student it is clear how bad it is since the fact the bullying is horrendous and they dont do anything about it other than the fact they get a real stern talking to and if you couldn't tell that is sarcasm due to the fact it kept happening over and over again with nothing being done other than me being told to write a complaint about it which they never do anything about and their wellbeing team try to victim blame and bully you into thinking its your fault saying stuff like it's not all about you or maybe they were havin a laugh their words not mine and the sports and extra curriculum are soke of the worst I've seen and laughable due to the fact thr extra curriculum basically is just footy and even that gets cancelled every week and the sports in pe are horrible since its not the fact you don't even learn any of the skills in the sport or if you do it's poorly taught and don't know so the people who like the sport don't get a chance to play it properly since it's unplayable when people are messing about and nothing is done about it besides that this school is great if you want depression anxiety ptsd adhd and screw it let's add in schizophrenia while we are at it

Horrendous high school

During my time at Chesterfield I can honestly say it isn’t a stretch to compare it to a WW2 prison camp, the constant reaching to try and act like a private school just damages the students mentally and the strictness is ridiculous. Honestly can’t recommend staying away from this school enough if you value your child’s mental health, bullying is NOT dealt with at all and in fact your child may end up getting into trouble instead of the bully.

A lot of teachers left over my time here and it was a very telling sign, even one of the old heads admitted that he hated the school and wished to move on. This school is on a continuing decline and there seems to be more and more mistakes.

Teachers come and go CONSTANTLY and it’s no surprise considering how awful this place is, sly tactics telling the students to do lots of extra things just to please Ofsted doesn’t seem to be washing anymore.

gave me the worst experience of my life

honestly this school gave me depression, not even a joke
rife with bullies and the teachers do nothing to sort it out
no accomodation for mental health issues and nobody to talk to for it
if youre thinking of coming here, as a former student, i cant recommend it any less than i do now

Great school.

Staff are supportive and the safeguarding officers (of which there are plenty) make their presence known to students so that we can seek guidance when we need to. I'm extremely grateful to all the staff at Chesterfield and I guarantee I would not have achieved such good GCSE grades anywhere else. It can be quite strict to some at first, but students soon learn that the rules are there to help them achieve their highest goals, and it is not difficult to fit in.
