    A Parent who is moving their son to another school

    Its Terrible. REALLY TERRIBLE. Im really not happy with this school. My son goes here, he’s going into Year 8 in September, and he came home crying his eyes out, because he’s being bullied by someone in his year, I reported the bully to the school, and what did they do? NOTHING, and he will be moving school when he’s in Year 9. Im very disappointed in this school. When I was a kid, I moved from Dene Magna to Forest High School in Cinderford, that school was better! And some of the teachers dont...

    I wouldn't.

    Teachers have no idea what they're doing and often clearly have vendettas against certain students. When I attended I noticed that staff were very heavy handed when they dealt with any students with learning difficulties. If you're interested in being prepared for Sixth Form under no circumstances attend this school, especially if you're keen on doing anything Mathematics or Science related. You will be *extremely* underprepared. If you don't want to attend a Sixth Form I probably wouldn't reco...

    Terrible

    Just an awful school, my son went here, he is a year 7, he absoloutely hates it, the P.E. teachers (boys) are just mean old souls, he told me that they do really hard maths in Year 7, and the english is trash, this school needs to be shut down, its not safe for kids, hes even been bullied by Year 11s

    bang average

    it’s a brilliant school, unless you’re academically gifted. the focus is completely on those who aren’t and improving their progress rather than challenging the top students. maths block is very nice + comfortable but some of the main block and one of the science rooms are showing their age. good library though. teachers are very hit and miss, had some exceptional ones throughout the last few years but also some dreadful teachers. bullying never really seems to get handled and the school constantly preach about mental health awareness yet certain teachers overload us with homework and can’t understand the importance of having a social life (especially post-covid). wilson house staff are useless. everything is made out to be the students fault and quite frankly they cannot be bothered to do anything that requires more than sending an email. other house staff are brilliant and will do anything to ensure your mental and physical wellbeing is okay. the headteacher is excellent too, and no problem is too big / small. very approachable too

    a year 11 who isn’t happy

    i absolutely hate attending this school, their priorities are all wrong. they’re the type of school who punishes those with piercings or coloured hair over the bullies, they don’t support you if you’re the victim of bullying and they don’t support you if you’re have trouble at home they in fact make it worse. some teachers are okay but the wilson staff are horrible and treat students like bugs, they don’t care about our opinions or our reasons all they care about is making this school as much li...
