This place gave me anxiety

There are a handful of nice teachers, the rest are terrible. Many teachers verbally bully students, and I had a teacher who would throw things at us and she was the head of the department. Students are not treated like human beings. People should be allowed to go to the toilet if they need to go, it's a basic human right, but toilets are only open at break and lunch and even then they don't open all the toilets and the queue is too big to queue for food and then the toilet. The food is bad, sometime we find bits of metal in the food. Fights and bullying happen all the time. It's way too crowded getting from A to B is like fighting your way through a music festival except everyone is pushing and shoving. The dress codes are sexist, there is nothing indecent about shoulders and it promotes victim blaming. They care more about control than education. Most of the teachers can't teach and suck the passion for learning out of everybody. If I said everything that was awful about this school, it would go on for pages and pages.

Shit school

This school doesn't not let students go to the toilet in lessons if they need it, it's a human right they should be able to go toilet. Also they lock the toilets and give you a warning if you put your hand up as it is against the rules to put your hand up in class

God awful

I hate this school, i want to leave. If they track this down and give me a detention then I'll update. Bullying is non stop, everyone i know has been bullied or does still get bullied. The stuff that happens that happens here has messed me up so much that a single mention of my name in a negative sense here just sends me into a huge negative spiral. We have assemblies about bullying but when the issue actually comes up nothing happens and nothings done about it. The teachers are so ignorant, if they think your doing something wrong you dont even get to explain that your not without them cutting you off or just straight up ignoring you. Right now the school is filled with construction and is so full that our school has had to change time tables and shorten our breaks and lunches. We get a total of 45 minutes of breaks a day, breaks and lunches combined. They treat older years like their still 11 while also constantly reminding us that we're young adults and need to start acting like them. Also we get huge rants from each and every teacher about how much we ruin their lives and sometimes we get straight up manipulated by them as if that will make us better at the subject. We had/ have (haven't seen him a for a while) a teacher who has been accused of pedophilia and for groped girls looking for vapes in their bras. Given this has not been confirmed but also has not been investigated by our school at all. We have a huge vape/drugs problem which i know is a common issue in all schools but we have year 7s who sell that type of stuff. Vaping will be openly talked about or right outside the school gates and still not followed up on. I swear whenever someone from our school is seen outside school theres just a feeling of dread for anyone else, they mess up shops and streets and houses and cars. I had a french teacher who was very openly transphobic in a class, cause me to be on brink of a panic attack for ages because the school is very full of homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism and xenophobia already so it was just influencing the hate more. When i talked to my at the time school councillor about it she emailed him and he approached me, an at the time 14 yr old, in a very threatening way because he thought i was lying. There was also "the friday" when there were 5 unresolved fights, kids running round the entire school, teachers and kids getting injured who weren't even involved, it was an absolute train wreck. The year 7 get severely mistreated by older kids when they'll just be walking to their class and slammed into a wall by someone in year 11 and sometimes very injured. They'll get threatened and sworn at by older years and its basically just watched by everyone else. The food here is just disgusting sometimes being undercooked, even meat, and the prices have been raised. Even students that get money help and are given £2 a day can't afford a good amount of food for the whole 6 and a half hours were here. It used to be that you could get a whole like 9 slice pizza for £2 but now you can barely get a sandwich and a bottle of water for the same amount. Its just horrific here.

If you want to f**k your kid up, this the place!

Fights happened every single day (including with knives) without fail, teachers were anything but pleasent, it wasnt a typical school at all, even when students commited arson they did nothing. Homophobia racism and sexism is only the tip of the iceberg! Wouldn't surprise me when we heard about a weird sexulised teacher because it happened so often. Teachers get way too power hungry and self absorbed. Situations were not dealt with. Just avoid

Very Bad School!

Had a very bad experience here - got bullied for the whole time at this school and it was never sorted by any teachers here, I also once got accused of stealing a peers protractor when it was my own rather than hers and she forcefully made me get into a detention. Also had the worst progress manager once, who always used to make me feel uncomfortable, he always used to be in a very foul mood and did not have the supportive gesture that a progress manager should really have. My pencil case was also stolen at this school in which all my equipment was thrown left, right and centre. As soon as I had the chance, I decided to switch schools for Sixth Form! Absolutely disgraceful!

school is in shambles

new head teacher collected all the students with ‘incorrect’ uniform on the first day into the canteen for up to two hours. and continuing to put the same students into isolation then next day if they haven’t fixed their uniform over night. cares more about the length of girls skirts and the tightness of their trousers over the quality of their education. teachers cant discipline the class and half are nonces

absolute hell hole

so bad honestly if you value your children do not send them here… your children would be better off if they were sent to an 1800s workhouse
the teachers are ex convicts and pedophiles. if you want your child to not get any support , no mental health help, inedible food, or teachers that couldn’t care less then i do however recommend that this is the school for them !!!!

Coundon review

My niece was told she can not leave the class after she just came on her period and she was told no so she walked out and she got a red card. They never let her have a toilet pass and they locked all the toilets so she couldn't go. That is against human rights.

OKAY school

As A student at this school, some teachers are great and some not so great. No bullying happens here and teaching skill is good. With the new Languages block it is good. Management team on this school is okay but needs more supporting with people with hearing aids.

if you love your kids, don’t send them here

i left this school for a different sixth form as soon as i could.

there is so much bullying that isn’t dealt with AT ALL… the students are horribly sexist and homophobic and they were not educated to stop harassing other students.

there are a handful of good teachers that are really amazing but the rest have no idea at all what they’re doing.
