    Very bad school and the teachers are careless

    Very bad school I wish I didn’t take my daughter there. She comes home nearly every day crying because of bullying and the teachers dose nothing about it I have called the school many times to discuss with them about the problems that my daughter is facing but there is no response they keep telling me that the year head will call you back and they never call me back because they don’t care. I’m still waiting and the year is nearly over

    Awful experience

    Removed my accademically gifted child from this school. Only spent 1 yr there (yr 7) and it did years worth of damage to her accamedic progress. Left primary with top SAT results, started yr 7 as a top performer, however this quickly plumetted throughout the year because of the issues with in the school. The behaviour of students and teachers alike, is abhorrent. Around 60% of classes were filled by sub teachers, the tone of her day became: trying to get through the boredom and chaos of multipl...

    bullying is not dealt with

    The school sucks

    The school is terrible; They don't care about their students, they ignore major issues of bullying, violence and the lack of extra care SEN students recice. They also ignore students that have worked hard every day of every year 24/7 and give hardly any credit out to those who do deserve it.

    Poor school - avoid

    we have removed our children from this setting and we couldn’t have done it quick enough. simply awful. a culture of poor behaviour, poor expectations, blaming the wrong child, supporting those who are causing issues. avoid at all costs

    bad school

    I went to coundon from year 7 now I'm currently in year 9 and I struggle with autism and anxiety and they failed me in all aspects and I was always branded as the "naughty" one or the one who doesn't listen, I'm going to be fair with this, some of the SEN staff were amazing however some not so much. Therefore I'm leaving it 1 star, if you have a child with autism, mental health issues or just generally have other special education needs DO NOT send them to this school

    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 al...

    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 !!!!
