don't send your kids here
terrible school who don't consider the students at all. lots of teachers cannot teach for the life of them or just straight up favor people who bully other people. they don't do anything about all the racism at the school but white socks or a bracelet will get you a detention. probably cause half the teachers there are racist themselves.

Poor school that thinks it's excellent
Honestly speaking as a former student (finished around mid 2010's) Doubt anyone will see this. Perhaps all public secondary schools are like this, and it's not an issue, school isn't meant to be an amazing place, it's the fact they tout that they are a school of excellence, but underneath there are many issues. For starters, many stories from my other female peers, and things I have witnessed first hand, of male teachers being weirdly pervy and flirting with young girls at the school. When kids...

Rather be sent to a concentration camp
This school is awful. Everything. Teachers, classrooms, courses, food and facilities. But most importantly the staff think they’re so privileged and they are the most condescending, ignorant assholes ive ever met. You’ve got a few nice ones but that’s rare to come across here, if they aren’t nice they can’t teach. They care more about their reputation than bullying and the children.

My Experience at Churchill
Absolutely terrible support staff. My CAMHS worker told me that everyone from Churchill says the same thing. Mrs. Clode is a miserable, cold woman who doesn’t care for any child that isn’t terribly behaved so if you have any sort of mental health problem and you don’t shriek about it you will probably be told to go away because they don’t have room or time for you. They treat you like you’re an inconvenience in ASC for needing student support which surprise Mrs. Clode is actually your job!!!! So I would say that overall Churchill is an okay school until you need any additional support for mental health because they refuse to offer it. The safeguarding being called good in the OFSTED report is honestly outstanding to me as the worst self-harm scars I have on my body are in direct relation to the safeguarding team’s so called ‘support.’ Now every-time I look at my body I deal with the constant reminder of the way in which the school’s support staff failed me when I needed them the most. - P

My lovely experience
I was sexually assaulted and they would prioritise the other students comfort. They also told multiple staff members about my police case, which I did not consent to and those staff members had no right to know. They also told me what happened wasn’t serious and I needed to forgive them. They gave the student zero punishment and actually sent them on a school trip for good behaviour. They kicked me out of classes right before exams meaning I failed one of my GCSEs. The student would deliberately...

Churchill review
Churchill school has bad teachers and has short lunchtimes and break times we should also get more freedom with pe activities which might get student to actually participate

Bad school
The worst pastoral care I've received. Literally didn't help me at all. Forces students to things they're uncomfortable with and teachers do not trust students at all. Only good thing was the catering but they changed that too

Teachers
They are so bad here, some are ok but most do not know how to teach especially in your GCSE years 10 and 11 when it matters most. Just to name a few: Mr Tinker, Miss Hoare, Mrs Taylor thinks she's it, Mrs Hayne can't teach Geography, Mr Hayne treats students like they have problems, Miss Morris, Mr Linnit is soo nice but can't teach at all and many more that are either horrible, can't teach or both. Also they don't care about the students health or do not listen to the students who actually struggle with school, working or mental health.

Just don’t
School cares more about appearances of students than their mental health… I want to k*** myself on a daily basis and I have racist and sexist classmates but too many rings/earrings are an issue according to churchill

Do not come here!
I told the student services about my depression and me wanting to kind of die and they said 'well see how it is tomorrow' and then I get a letter about how bad my grades are and I had to see deputy head ect so they're more concerned about my grades than mental health, aswell as this they're terrible with dealing with racism, homophobia and discrimination and care more about how many bracelets or rings and how much makeup I wear and it's really bad so if you wanna send your child here, for there safety and health PLEASE DONT!!

If you make Mrs Profaska head of everything, I will consider raising my rating.
