Dalkeith High School

Awful place deal with situations horribly and made me fail due to bullying which they “tried” to deal with and showed no support with issues I had

horrible service. manager was not accommodating at all and the staff were all very rude. food was cold stale and overpriced. was 10p short when buying toast and i was humiliated by the obtuse woman behind the till. i had nothing to eat that day. overall bad experience do not recommend!

this school has failed multiple proberly 100ds of students. Teachers can be okay but I think they just need to learn not every kid is perfect and gets on in school some can be distruptife it could be a shout out for help and many more or it’s there way of coping or they have a hidden disability, Dalkeith high school is not good at handeling bullying , my mum has tried for years to get me to school but Dalkeith high school has done nothing, no wonder kids at a young age have anxiety, social anxiety, depression and ect all because of schools such as Dalkeith high school thanks bye and stop failing students xx

It is the most corrupt organisation I have ever had the displeasure of attending. GAIL PRESTON, you should be ashamed well and truly. You as not only a human, but as a teacher, are a poor excuse of management. You had knowingly made fun of several students (one time, on account of a student’s sexuality), your daughter faced great nepotism and advantages resultant of your position. I was in the year above your daughter, and I often fell absolutely awful that her peers in the year below were often being treated in such a way that could NOT under ANY circumstance be construed as equal. ELIZABETH MCGLASHAN. You are the root cause of my ever-present anxiety + depression. You told me I faked my anxiety and depression. I was nearly driven to suicide due to your words. I recall you threatening to banish me to a nearby school as I had defended myself in class against my bullies. You are a truly despicable human being. You made my life Hell, you made me feel like I was below you. I had came to you in tears as a 13 year old and you mocked me, you sent me into solitary confinement for four days. It’s been nearly a 9 years but yet still I remain a victim to your words. I regularly missed physical education because of my mental health issues (of which were dismissed), but you shouted at me and asserted your authority. I was a young child and to this day I can’t quite muster up the belief that you would have treated someone so young with such little compassion. I physically couldn’t look you in the eye. I hope you receive Karma.

The school is disgusting and dirty inside and out. Most of the staff are disgusting and crusty. DHS is really no place that inspires or encourages. In fact, all students feel the only exciting part is leaving. Crusty and Rusty. Bad school all round.
