    SCHOOL NURSE BAD????

    The school nurse, cathy i believe is quite a bad person. she dosent believe you when you are genuinely ill and send you back to lesson to suffer. As a student, i do see how she wont believe us. i will tell a personal story about her. It was december i think, it was a drop down day for year nine, a wednesday I told my form tutor that i was unwell and needed to go to the toilets (because i was going to be sick). i ran to the toilets and i was sick, my hair was covered in it and it smelt horrible....

    Shit school

    This school is pathetic I am a year 11 student they have took my chance to go to prom and my leaver assembly away because of this school rules. I would describe this school more like a prison you don’t get treated with the respect you need and the respect you deserve they don’t care about your mental health or anything. Only thing they care about is if our uniform is correct. They only start to be nice once Ofsted come in or we have visitors other that that it is like a youth prison. You get tre...

    The school

    The rules of the school kept changing and become really confusing to follow because they would pull you up on anything you did like get a haircut, they changed how you had lessons instead of a two week routine it has one week routine which was easier to learn but it was introduced a little bit too late in terms of how I remember the school.

    Speaking from experience

    This school is honestly shocking when it comes to looking after students. The teachers would rather ignore the bullying that takes place than deal with it. They only care about educating students, not about their health and well-being. Speaking from experience, the school does little to tackle serious incidents in relation to mental health as they don’t like to make a ‘big fuss’ over the important things. The education that you receive at this school is simply not good enough. There are little t...

    Wouldn't really recommend

    Honestly this school has been the most horrific experience of my life. Teachers never really dealt with any issues you brought up especially if they had to do with bullying or mental health. Sure it wasn't all bad but it wasn't great either.

    STAY AWAY

    The worst 5 years of my life. If it wasnt the constant bullying, which isnt dealt with at all, its the disabled kids being left out or teachers being nasty or storming out of classrooms because they are ill equipped and not trained to a good standard. I cant count on one hand the amount of good experiences ive had at crofton and im sure not many else can either.
