Colne Park High School

Its only good because of a few teachers but when it comes to fights they turn a blind eye. like for example today 28/9/22 a girl went to hospital covered in her own blood all because teachers refused to stop them and let them fight it out.

WORSE SCHOOL EVER. NEVER GO HERE ITS AWFUL

When i went to this school it was all good and well but as year 11 came around the teachers let them smoke on the grounds and sometimes joined them,let boxing matches go on in the toilets and kids would vape and even take drugs in the bathrooms Many kids bullied you if you didn’t have the same fashion or even music taste to popularity. This school cared more about what people thought about them more than the kids themselves who were viewed as statistics Horrible school don’t send your kids to it!!!

I think this school is pretty good. With the exception of a few hiccups, I look back on my time at this school reasonably fondly, and I think this is due in most part to certain teachers with whom my relationship with was something I would cherish. Staff are for the most part really quite supportive, as well as the majority of teachers being interesting and engaging while still being firm enough to have students stay on task, as well as pushing a student that extra 10% or so to reach that top mark. This would however minorly become an issue as students would quickly find themselves overworked, even the most on-top-of-it A* level students I knew would say there could be too much work sometimes. While at this school I personally never knew of any ongoing issues relating to substances or violence, with the very rare exception of minor fights breaking out between students, however this is not the fault of the staff and the school, as to their credit they would always have someone arrive on scene very quickly to break up the fight and deal with people involved appropriately. One team when a fight had been arranged at a local park two staff members even drove down from school to intervene. There is a strict ban on smoking in school or on school grounds. I myself am not or have ever been a smoker, and I think is fine for the most part, however perhaps it would be good to have a smoking shelter, or a designated area where students can smoke, which the school does not. It is all well and good saying "none of you should be smoking anyway" or etc as a reason for the absence of a smoking zone, however at the end of the day kids are stupid and people get addicted, making this a failure to accommodate in my opinion. Also one time a friend of mine was seen smoking in town nowhere near school and was given some form of punishment, I can't remember what. It may have been because they were wearing school uniform while smoking, but I personally don't think they should have been punished. There is also a personal support system in place that I've only ever had to interact with once or twice but it seems pretty good. As a whole, I think the school is good, at least through my eyes and from my experiences, however I can not speak for everyone as some people's experiences differ in varying ways from my own. 3/5

I know park very well and the only good part about the school is the hub.
