Corfe Hills School

Poor school with terrible communication. Lots of auto generated messages. Choose a different school.

absolutely shit the worst school ive worked at

worst school in the area! Their attitude towards SEND students is disgusting. My child was put in isolation for writing slower than his class mates because he was causing "distractions"! I should not have to be sitting by the phone all day waiting for them to call saying my child has been sanctioned for no fault of his. You should be supporting your students not sanctioning them because they struggle in educational settings. Sara Jones ISNT qualified for safeguarding as they say, a source has told me and my wife she has minimul to no training in the safeguarding area. How you can run a school like this and still sleep at night i dont know! ive heard of many students and parents who have had the same issue...its unexceptable things need to be changed and quickly

I am a current student, just started year 9, and I have to say the school is almost perfect. It's strict but it keeps us in check and it's actually quite good. You need to arrive at school between 8:25 and 8:35, But you can arrive earlier, no later. If you do, you get a strike and an afterschool detention. There are uniform checks every morning at 8:35-8:37. They check your uniform and equipment, then send you off to your form room with your teacher. Then we do 20 minutes of reading, Which can be quite boring but I think it's decent sometimes. Then when the bell goes, we have 5 minutes to get to our next lessons. We have 2 lessons, then a 20 minute break, where we can go on the field, maths street, The canteen or near our locker. After that we have another two lessons, Then lunch!! After that we have 1 more lesson then HOME TIMEEEE!! The best part of the day ngl. We have a canteen for break and lunch, the food and drink is AMAZING!!! The dinner ladies who work there are so sweet it's unreal, and are really helpful when telling you the prices and what to do. A good range for vegetarians, Not really for vegans tho. They have pastries, Hot food, cold food, Drinks fizzy and flat, And many more. I would rate this school a solid 9/10, a 4/5, very good and friendly people. I am going through a very rough patch at the minute, and the slt team (Specifically Mr Lindon) has been very kind and helpful, Even given me a medical card to leave lessons, to have a fidget toy and also go for walks around school if my problems get to much. I know people might not agree with me but it's actually quite good, I do reccomend it as a whole. It has improved since my sister attended a few years ago.

Where do I start, a complete waste of time towards any student wanting to get extra curricular help, the school consistently boasts of a top notch anti bullying policy, which in fact was not once ever used, students use slurs towards others, the entire school seems to focus more on keeping up their grade than actually focusing on the students

The lack of teachers mean that support for the students who need extra support is minimal. However you need to place it into consideration as some teachers do care and are good at teaching, but have large classes and a range of students to deal with.

Some of the teachers do actually care about the education of the student and wellbeing and actually put the time in to become friends with the student however many teachers especially the maths and science department seem to be lacking effort and do not have good teaching methods nor know how to control a class.

Some teachers are good in lower school but had to teach most of my science content to myself with numerous supplies, sixth form experience fairly poor with immense lack of support for certain members of staff.
