Durrington High School

I highly highly recommend Durrington high school. My son has had problems settling in including being bullied by so called friends. That staff have been amazing amd so caring.. they really go out of their way to help in any way they can..lovely school

The place is terrible within the course of a year there has been several riots where people have been trampled a full on lockdown from a trans student who was bullied to the point they became depressed and came into school with a knife had several occasions where people have been recoded in the toilets with it shared across the school a kid with a mental disability was strangled to the point of near unconscious by a kid because he annoyed him and the worst part the school will try to deny or make the incident sound considerably better than it was they lie through there teeth constantly I personally don’t mind the school because I’m someone desensitised to the sheer insanity that occurs on a daily basis most of the students are junkies or live with abusive parents and take it out on people weaker on them if I could I would get rid of the very concept of the school on top of all this the food prices are astronomical to the point i could probably buy all the ingredients and make a single dish whilst still having the necessary ingredients to make the same meal 10 times over i apologise if I got a bit convoluted but all in all don’t go

students dont go to school, they have sex in the local park

Fights all the time, tons of bullying, food is terrible, teachers barely do anything to help, toilets and halls are always disgusting with food and rubbish everywhere.

The school cares more about its reputation than its students. They are always telling students to act well if there are visitors but they never deal with bullying. School is about learning but it feels like all the teachers try to do is control the students instead of working with them.

Hi so I go to this school and it’s so bad they don’t care about how u feel only care about how to make it look good to public. They don’t care about bullying or racism. WE NEED TO STOP RACISM So let’s protest

In year 10 I was serious bullied about a nasty rumor about my body which was started by a girl who had previously beaten up my mate , the bullying was from a large group of people who have constantly harassed me throughout the school year with one of them assaulting me 3 hours before the schools open evening and before Easter of that year they sexsualy harassed me . The people are still in the school for yr11 but keep bullying other people and have been on their final warning about being kicked out for months which has lead my mental health to go down with massive anxiety.

good but there are so many people in the halls you end up with so many bruises where you constantly getting pushed and shoved great pastoral care but overall its great!!

Best days of my life here! Left a couple of years ago and still miss it every day. the music and drama is superb and has built my confidence and I will carry the skills I have learnt here with me for life. Thanks DHS!

I am a student at durrington with several mental disabilities, including selective mutism. The school would not allow me to use my assisted speaking device even while being aware of my condition.

Been a student here for a couple of years...not going to lie, it hasn't been great. The COVID restrictions have been very very poor and have sent home several year groups over the past week due to so many staff having cases but they got rid of masks. Heating is never on and students get told off for such ridiculous things like socks or size of earrings but I know students getting away with nose piercings. Not fair.

This school is getting very unsafe, there has been recent stabbing in the building and the students that did it remained still attending the school

Only care about their reputation, not their students. Their mental health, progress, or happiness either. Covid bubbles barely worked and barely ventilated.

The school was great but now they seem to care more about how the school looks to the public rather then weather the students are happy. Also racism is a huge problem. They also favour the naturally smart kids

I am a student and social distancing is terrible doesn’t happen many to be in bubbles but you still move through different bubbled areas hand sanitizers in the main hallway which is meant to be my bubble but too many people but not good at all
