Colmers School and Sixth Form College

Would rather get homeschooled by a wet mop. They played around with my home life, my mental health, and my grades. Some of the teachers were actually adequate regarding their professional demeanour and method of teaching, but vast majority could not bring any balance into the room. One man’s singing, one woman’s crying, the other one’s just morphed into an angry T-Rex. I don’t know if I would compare their lessons to a fever dream or sleep paralysis. Any issues you have, they’ll brush it under a carpet and probably spend millions on a new building to cover it up and make it look all fancy, can still smell the foul stench of miasma creeping from beneath the surface and see it on the students. Safeguarding procedures barely get followed, the team is just there to sign into work and sip tea, any actual issues and suddenly they’re overwhelmed despite them never actually doing anything. Me and another pupil had gotten into an altercation in our last year at this school which resulted in my friends reporting issues for the sake of my own safety and the pupil’s own health and safety too. It’s a long and unnecessary story for me to explain to you. They were genuinely a good student in times that they wanted to be, but this school failed to take proper action before it spiralled. It was more of an issue stemming from them - not ridding my self of accountability, but just stating what our whole year knew and from what I know too - and nothing was done at all. A couple months later I find out I’m being exiled from this place to another place because they can’t handle workload that requires anything more than turning the kettle on. Belonging Together? What happened to that? This resulted in my grades being messed with (I was a grade 6/7 and aspiring 8 student, was disappointed with my results). Was given little to no support. Your health and education is a game to them. Hope the other pupil is doing alright (hello, if you see this, still annoyed and upset about everything but I think there were lessons to be learned mutually, miss you at times but also don’t because you were quite horrible to me and lied loads to my face and behind my back but it’s in the past now and I guess I understand since it was survival for us both, but thank you for some of the funny memories we had x). Homophobia, Sexism, Racism, Xenophobia, Ableism, if this was in Pokemon Go then best believe you’ve collected and evolved them all beyond fathomability. You’d probably catch one of those cases, if not an STI. Had a kid in my class threatening to S/A (search up what it stands for) and do all sorts of stuff to other pupils from all year groups. Would touch them and say horrible things to them. Nobody liked him. Still don’t understand how I got kicked out and he didn’t. They’ll protect the pupils that ruin the school, and will torture everyone else. I don’t miss the seagulls. The seagulls were horrible, fell victim to them twice. Cold and wet days, can’t even stand inside unless you’re packed in the sports hall like a tin of sardines. They lost some important documentation that I needed them to send off, and it’s too late to do anything about it. Can’t keep you safe, can’t keep 2 pieces of paper safe. I do miss some moments and some teachers, I just wish that in another incarnation maybe teachers had their heads screwed on. I think what all brought us together as a community for us to create such bittersweet memories to reminisce over is probably the fact that we can collectively agree that this place is a dookie hole. Colmers is a joke.

bad bad school terrible head and she’s so clueless

This school gives detentions for fun and the teachers dont know how to control their students

I would give this school a 0 if i could. Nothing but problems from day one. Staff can't control the children and the behaviour of some of the kids is discusting clearly the parents are either none the wiser or don't give a dam. Money should of been spent on educating the teachers and children not building a new block to disguise the chaos of what a dump this school really is!

I came here and the teachers are fully shit ahile der crap gdem n dey jus don’t low man der scraping cah sometimes u gotta do what u gotta uno one of dem 1s der

An absolute shithole, the head doesn’t know what she’s doing and the teachers are all turned against her

It is close to my home the teachers are friendly they mostly try and keep the lessons fun they work the students and themselves hard they spread every message that goes around the toilets do need to be cleaned more often though they do get quite dirty
