Very unpleasant experience.
Unfortunately went there one year after having to leave the John wallis academy, due to bullying. The bullying continued there, and I spent every break time by myself. I had to leave this school too ultimately after a year. The students are horrible, not well behaved at all...All the money etc. that was used to build the pretty building is not worth anything, if the content inside is this bad. In terms of the learning, even though they try very hard to implement "alternative" methods, I could no...

Staff and procedures and general information
The school while it has its pros it unfortunately has many cons like ridiculous rules that made my child seem nervous when using his toilet pass as he was given a time limit. The staff are great bar some staff members who should be in the teaching industry Because it seems like they don’t want to be there. The headteacher is great but not seen a lot. The school has a great program for young up and coming football stars that students can access from year 7 and then proceed into a scholarship in s...

Atrocious school!
No support from the beginning with my child, no notes from transition were acted on (sen) Continued targeted, sustained and vile bullying towards child and school would not do anything to sort this out. Lasted 4 years until I took child out to homeschool when I finally found out the extent. Child has become agraphobic due to sustained bullying, refused to go into school. Passed around unnecessarily to early help, social services, prevent (police terrorism group!!!) rather than bullying addressed. Basically the solution to any problem was to take the child out of lessons and put in 'pitstop' where there are no proper teachers and staff gossips with students inappropriately. Not a school for LGBT students they will be targeted. Most of the staff are pencil pushers, there are a couple of nice ones but due to how the school is they can't do their job properly. SEN provision is a joke as they couldn't keep that member of staff in the 4 year I experienced the school & everything (whole school) handled by an administrator. Most positive person in the building the receptionist who gets to know all the children & keeps her eye out.

Bad school don’t recommend
I went to this school and for me it was the worst school I’ve ever been to the teachers never helped me when I was being bullied and if they did they would sit me in pitstop. I think they should improve the bullying help cause they’re not a good school at all. Don’t send your kids here.
