This school is so bad!!!
De La Salle School in Basildon does not deserve the positive image it tries to portray. While it promotes itself as one of the leading schools in the area, the reality experienced by many students can be deeply disappointing. The school often speaks about important values such as respect, care, safeguarding, and personal development, yet these promises do not always seem to match the way students are actually treated. Many young people appear to be placed under intense pressure, sometimes to th...

Disgusting behaviour from a teacher about a pupil
De La Salle School in Basildon has failed to live up to the reputation it tries to promote. Although it presents itself as one of the top schools in the area, the reality for many students can feel very different. Much of what the school claims to stand for—such as care, support, strong values, and student protection—does not always seem to be reflected in the way some young people are treated on a daily basis. There appears to be immense pressure placed on students, often pushing them beyond w...

Sort it out
De La Salle School in Basildon is, in my opinion, a disgrace rather than the “best school in Basildon” that it claims to be. Much of what the school presents to the public feels like nothing more than an act, hiding the reality of how many students are treated behind closed doors. They push young people to their limits, placing enormous pressure on them until some feel they can no longer cope. The school constantly speaks about its core values, student wellbeing, and safeguarding, yet it often a...

Shambles
Where's the leadership team when you need them? Poor teachers left to deal with everything. Bullying is handled poorly blaming the victim and making good parents feel bad, rather than deal with the bully, safeguarding lead doesn't handle situations correctly, just shouts at students and doesn't follow school polices as per guidelines on school website. School doesn't adhere to brentwood diocese polices as to how a Catholic school should be so amazed how they got outstanding from the diocese o...

Awful
This school has poor leadership, leaving heads of year to deal with everything, which is simply unfair, where are the leadership team when needed? Meetings arranged with parents and then teachers fail to turn up, or forget and look rushed on arrival. Bullying is handled poorly and blame the victim rather than take a firm hand with the bully. Safeguarding lead doesn't handle situations successfully and school policies not followed as per guidelines. School doesn't follow the brentwood diocese ethos on what a catholic school should be. Students end up with mental heath problems and anxiety attending this school. Alot of cover ups. Leadership to blame. To many matters openly discussed when should be private.

Bullying, so disgusting honestly.
Disgusting. I was getting bullied and no one did anything about it honestly teachers were rude. I would get stuff thrown at me and have dirty wet tissues chucked at me.

Let down
Sadly this school has poor leadership and safeguarding issues, a staff member openly discussed an issue about My child which was private with her family and was repeated back to my daughter, the school doesn't deal with issues, they will send you an email to brush you off but don't actually answer your concerns or deal with your concerns. The school is very top set focust and doesn't care about the lower sets at all, they are set up to fail. Tops sets get alot of homework whilst lower sets hardl...
