Stay well away if your child has additional needs
Not a place for SEN children. EHCP funds are allocated across the school to assist more able learners and boost the school results. The children needing the assistance are left isolated without any supportive provision. If you are allocated TA, rest assured your child will rarely see them as all TAs are used as classroom assistants, even a 1:1 provision is shared amongst a full class, whether they have additional needs or not. Nasty, uncaring school, challenge their failings and you see the tr...

What is this mess
They don’t care about bullying and half of them could get beaten by a pear in a maths test It feels like a matriarchy Oh yeah it’s boring as hell The toilets over flow All of the food is too expensive Most of it is unhealthy I don’t think the cleaners know that a table has an underside (do not put your hand under there)

do not go
horrible school. certain headteacher joined. ruined school. good teachers left because of said head teacher. “Inclusive” until it comes to girls, hair, skirts, and anything that makes us individuals. “Committed” until there is bullying. “Considerate” until someone is struggling. “Safe” until there are fights and male teachers staring at girls skirts. They teach us to be individuals and unique at primary school, but rip it all away once you join this school. Everywhere we go, there’s teachers staring down at our skirts, making us lift up our shirts to see the waistband. If you have dyed hair, then you’ve apparently commit a crime that deserves beheading. Students are always wrong. Teachers are always right. Make it make sense.

Good apart from senco
The school is very good apart from the senco it’s terrible the safeguarding team did a better job for my daughter than the hive did . I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the safeguarding team the headmaster and the reception team not the senco .

Please don’t send children here!
Please do not send your child here I started in year 7 in 2021 and dropped out in the beginning of year 9 this school does not deal with giving people consequences even if they’re a teacher or student, a male DT teacher assaulted me and had numerous other reports and he never got a single consequence, the bullying is on a new level here and no one ever gets told to stop, there’s drugs, alcohol, knifes etc all over this school. They don’t care about mental health in the slightest they would constantly tell me that me being depressed was a “trend” and told me to get over it. They tried forcing me to join the army even though I expressed I had no intention on joining. They constantly accused me of stuff that never happened and even after seeing camera evidence still thought I was lying. Please please please! Do not send your children here, you do not know how dangerous this place is in general and for their mental health!

The school is absolutely impeccable
Many of these negative comments are by younger students who are either 1) are bored and think this is funny, or 2) are overgeneralising their personal experiences onto the rest of the school. I admittedly left a similar comment years ago when I was younger. However, sixth form at this school has genuinely been the best time of my life - the staff are some of the kindest and most supportive people you will ever meet, and the educational standards are excellent (40% of University applicants go to...

Perfect school
The world as we know it is, frankly, a spluggle. We're constantly bombarded with pronouncements, pronouncements predicated on something, somewhere, having been deemed "important." But what is important? Is it the existential plight of the left sock, forever separated from its partner in the dryer's swirling vortex of fabric lint? Or is it the proper application of buttonology, the ancient art of aligning buttons according to the principles of harmonic convergence? Let's delve deeper. Consider the humble marmalade. Its citrusy tang, its bitter-sweet dance upon the palate, it's a microcosm of the universe itself! But what if the universe prefers strawberry jam? Are we, as humans, imposing our marmalade-based biases onto the cosmos? This is a question that keeps renowned theoretical physicists up at night, weeping softly into their calculators. Furthermore, the implications of sentient toasters cannot be ignored. They observe us, silently judging our breakfast choices, meticulously calculating the precise browning level required to achieve optimal carbohydrate-based satisfaction. They hold secrets, dangerous secrets, about the very fabric of reality, secrets whispered only through the hum of their heating elements. And what of ducks? Are they merely waterfowl, paddling placidly on ponds, or are they, in fact, interdimensional beings, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance between the Real World™ and the Realm of Fuzzy Logic? The answer, my friends, is almost certainly beige. So, we are left with this: A swirling, chaotic mess of marmalade, buttons, socks, toasters, ducks, and a creeping sense that perhaps we're all just characters in a poorly written simulation run on a Commodore 64 powered by existential dread. Embrace the absurdity. Question the meaninglessness. And always remember to check your socks before drying them. The fate of the universe may depend on it.

Good school, sketchy higher ups
Yeah, it’s alright. The toilets didn’t have seats for a while and I don’t trust pastoral (or most members of SLT), but over all it’s a pretty good school. I would recommend

dont go to chipping campden school
i started at this school in year seven and left in year ten after traumatic experiences with a teacher i struggled for 3 years and am still healing from what i went through at this school. this school is sexist and disgusting, the teachers treat theyre students like theyre nothing and would rather us mentally suffer than forget a tie. please do not send your kids here they deserve better. I wasnt safe in this school and neither were my friends when i think about the feeling i had walking down th...

please read before sending your child here
Couldn’t rate this school any worse. the worst things imaginable could happen to your child in this school with no consequences whatsoever, i’m talking knifes in students bags, sexual assault, verbal assault, physical assault, the list goes on. The most the school will do is put an exclusion in place, wich most students would take as a reward. The victim will receive no help or support whatsoever and the school question why students will drop out so fast. Needs to change.

Awareness
This school caused many issues for many students causing them to have poor mental health, some teachers are supportive most aren’t this is an issue because kids and older pupils need help and support for most things. They’ve kicked multiple pupils out for petty reasons as such skipping class, not just that they’ve made it so you can no longer have mobiles during school hours if you get of the bus with it , they get removed which is very stupid , i wouldn’t recommend sending you’re children here...

this school is terrible don’t go here
this school does not care about the pupils. they have no concern except for the grades!! it’s one of the worst schools around due to lack of care for the students.

The worst school ever
the teachers do not care about the students mental health. They do not treat students equally and will hold a student responsible for something that they haven’t done just because they don’t like the student. it’s a shit school and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come here. if I could give it a 0 I would. It’s funny of people who bully each other and hurt each other. and they wonder why so many people leave the school.
- Other1.014 July 2023
leave when you can.
this school don’t treat students eqaully and they usually put the blame on someone pretty fast. Constantly SLT calm outs even if they’ve done nothing wrong it’s full of horribke people , bullies , crackheads , and nic addicts. Most students want out they need to improve how they treat their students instead of being rude , the only good teachers i’ve found here are mr walker , mr clarkson and that’s about it they don’t care about you’re mental health and wellbeing leave when you can.

wouldn't go if it was the last place
avarage school with little common sense the male teachers looks at girls skirts and tell them to to put it to knee hight also the food is discussing and not worth the price like 5 pound for a chicken burger you may as well go to Tesco and get a meal deal sando is leaving and the teachers can't handle the students the teachers have less common sense than a barn door and the teachers are absolute wankers. apart from one TA that's helps you

Good school but traumatising experience
The school itself was good but my experience there was beyond awful. My last day there I sold my blazer and ripped up my yearbook. I'll keep the art and history books because those were interesting to me but the rest I will BURN. I tried to off myself multiple times while attending there and the school nurse called me "silly". The Hive (AKA Student Support Centre) was THE single worst place for refuge. The woman who worked at the desk a lot of the time was SO inconsiderate to pupils' needs (especially since a lot of those who went there had mental health difficulties) and my mum agrees she should be fired. She's awful. Also I REALLY wanted to play rugby in PE but I wasn't allowed because I'm a girl. I asked a few male friends and they all said they wanted to do trampolining in PE. What is it with those awful sexist rules? Do better.

Great But Room for improvement!
This school is great and the ofsted rating definitely fits it, But there are issues with inclusivity and language, LGBT and Gender Identity is not recognized this issue is changing though. Depending on teachers some are REALLY passionate about there job and students but some don't really care. There are sexist teaches idolizing Females or Males depending on the teacher but this issue is slowly changing. Yes there are teachers who should learn about probably retake the inclusivity course. So if that's something that's important to you then maybe come have a look see how its by booking a visit if you don't care then this school is amazing and will be very beneficial to the students education. the pastoral is amazing and can and is appropriately trained in helping with mental health, This is something that In my opinion a school should make sure is to the best it can as the students mental heath takes a massive toll on there learning depending on its state. Just remember like all school there is bulling BUT this is minimal and is most bullying that was happening before they came to chipping campden school.

Completely average.
Not that bad, don't focus on students needs but give good opportunities.
- Former Student1.020 October 2022
get out
This school is a shithole , one of the teachers is a creep who talks about his daughter and other girls "blossoming" . There is no equality within the school, the teachers are as a majority completely incompetent, with the exception of North block . Overall the pastoral team have less combined brain cells then a barn door and then finally unless you fit a certain demographic (mute , female and timid) the school couldn't care less about you . In fact many would argue that some teachers would rather see you fail than succeed , for many the job seems more like a pay check then a mission. Many students have been told that they would fail there exams or end up on the street as a nicotine addict. To conclude this school is far from "outstanding" and I would advise you to push your child towards grammar school or cotswolds because they see far greater results than ccs .

Very bad
Very few of the staff are good and the rest of them are intolerable. It is astonishing how some of them are even qualified to teach, they only seem to be interested in shouting at us for the entire lesson. Bullying is constant and instead of doing anything about it, the pastoral team hassle you with uniform cards (3 strikes and you are forced to do litter picking). Furthermore, this school’s culture of bullying, especially to those with special needs/difficulties (and for being different in general), is absolutely sickening and humiliating. The lack of knowledge and empathy of SEN is concerning and quite scary. Students that are favoured by the ‘hive’ staff can get away with just about anything, yet someone else with the same difficulties is expected to survive without proper support, and are told nothing is wrong with them. No wonder everyone’s mental is suffering nowadays. If this is how extra support is dealt with, I can’t imagine what the average student can access in terms of help at this school, it’s insane! The iPad scheme had good intentions but the lack of accessibility and privacy highly discourages using them. Such technology could be used so well, but instead we are catching moths on a website in biology… this definitely raised the mark! (not) Other reviews point out: the cameras, the cardboard G block, the kitchen nightmares film set, dumb rules, (etc). One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the conditions of the toilets, there is food inside cubicles, revolting graffiti and tampons covered in pasta… need I say anything more. I can honestly say my time at this school was the worst thing I’ve been through thus far, and my life has barely began. They absolutely wreck your confidence, rot your brain and destroy any positive beliefs you might have had about the world before you take a step into adulthood. I consider myself extremely lucky to be free of their indoctrination but others may not have the opportunity to free themselves. There are plenty more things I could say about this institution, and anyone who has had a similar experience should also speak up, otherwise there is no hope at all. This school has truly gone to the dogs and it is sad to see the history demolished by the new system. No idea how OFSTED gave this place an outstanding review, it needs some serious looking into and should be examined thoroughly.

Year 9 going in to year 10
The outstanding oftsted review on this school is a lie. It's not major things but little things that add up. For starters there are cameras that are continuously monitored which sounds great but there has been picture proof shown of the teacher monitoring the girls toilet is male which is extremely uncomforting. The food is disgusting, I have had to stop eating anything the school has made for it has made me I'll on a number of occasions. Teachers frequently look up girls skirts stating that the...

A scam of a school
Doesn't take mental health issues seriously, pathetic uniform policy, cameras in toilets, an unwelcoming community, dirty classrooms and toilets, unhealthy and little variety in food served, g block is practically a caravan, unreasonable punishments, bullying is not dealt with properly, limits students in p.e based on their gender. Shocking that this school got an 'outstanding' from ofsted

Terrible
The food is unhealthy and the teachers are terrible. I had a specific teacher for half of the year who would yell at us for not understanding yet when we complained we got no help. The headmaster cares more about our uniforms than our well-being or safety. The bullying is horrible and the homophobia is out of control
