Cramlington Learning Village

CLV is an absolutely awful school I do not recommend this school to anyone even if you live close by. Stay AWAY from CLV it will ruin your life and the teachers are horrible. It is an absolute joke of a school.

There is nowhere for people older than the Junior Learning Village to stand inside at break or lunch if it is raining and the cafes are full. They expect you to sit on benches outside which always have rubbish shoved down the umbrella hole, bird poo all over them and one even has a bench missing on one side. We end up learning things eventually but we don’t learn it in a fun and interesting way so it’s difficult to remember stuff and get the motivation to revise but I suppose that’s most schools. I said that the safety and security are poor because I have seen kids jump the fence that doesn’t even look good but was also designed to keep kids inside the school grounds. They are very strict about letting students use the toilets (you should’ve gone at break, should’ve gone at lunch, go during lesson changeover) but then go whenever they want even with the same break time and lunch time. Just overall a bad school that doesn’t really look that great. It would feel more like a highschool if the colours of the buildings actually matched the colours of the schools emblem but instead they’re a weird green colour.

This school is awful. I am being starved daily. I come home hungry and with my usual dinners that I’ve had for my whole life that have always filled me aren’t enough anymore. I have to go about 15 hours without food and because of that line I only have less than a packet of monster munch or Doritos.

Why do they starve the year 8s but not the year 7s you may be wondering?? Because there is a group of boys who I will not name in the line shoving everyone into metal barriers and onto the floor. Not letting us get food-because of a group of people being disrespectful who could easily be removed if the outer banister is as well.

The dinner ladies refused my friend food when she had more than enough money and there was more than enough left for a single cup of pasta. The woman said “you can’t have any because you’ve been sharing food on your table.”
1. We had given her a few crisps and a slice of bread
2. How is that any of their business

The only good thing about this school is some of the teachers. Most teachers are nice and it’s the heads and pastoral that are awful.

We have to wait in the food line to even get into the place. So even if I wanted to starve myself I couldn’t even sit down to be comfy while doing so.

This school needs serious help. I have to smile through the pain every day and it gets tiring. I’m 12, almost 13. I should be enjoying myself. Not working about our school doing illegal things to us.

The teachers are nice though 😊😊

Great school big up Mr Patterson and Miss Betham great teachers and Miss Penmen

Absolutely do not recommend sending your child here. I've gone through 5 years of bullying here and myself and my mam have spoke to staff practically every week about it and they do nothing. The school is awful for bad behaviour also, constantly fights and disruptions and people feeling threatend at school. They do not do anything about mental health, they know about issues with me for years regarding it which would be inappropriate to say on here but I think you get the idea. The school tries to preach positive mental health but does nothing. There has recently been a student in year 8 taken her own life due to bullying which she talked to school about and they still did nothing to change bullying/mental health etc.

Also the building for year 7 and 8 is absolutely freezing, whoever had the idea for a tarp roof is just plain stupid.

Im leaving this school this year and my cousin has just started in year 7 and I'm so happy to get away from it but can't stop worrying about her having to be there.

Its also an open campus so litterally anybody from the public can walk around the school campus, not very safe at all
