Dylan Thomas Community School

great school got bumbed in the toilet very enjoyable

Dylan thomas community school is a horrible is a horrible school, unless you want your child to be bullied, threatened, beaten and get slurs thrown at them then send them here. I am currently a student at Dylan thomas community school and I physically cannot count how many times I've been bullied, in this school slurs are thrown around like nothing and I recall someone saying the N word quite loudly and the teacher stood there, on his phone, doing nothing. If you are bullied here you won't receive any help either as the teachers will just watch and not help you as they don't feel like doing their job, if you report it to the pso's (patrol support office) they either will: A) not do anything, B) Talk to them and say the victims name making them more targeted, or c) offer a stupid 5 minute early pass which will not do anything, but according to them it's the most genuis gadget in the world! Yippee! 5 minutes away from the torment! Now onto attendance Dylan thomas community school will whine and complain if your attendance isn't withing the 95%-100% you will constantly need evidence of sickness, appointments, ect, if you aren't mentally well they will complain more and they will refuse to accommodate your needs as 'It's unfair to others' what type of bull is that? According to the school tho being mentally ill isn't an excuse! And mentally ill people shouldn't be allowed to interact with society or other people because their 'Dangerous'. I myself am not mentally well and my GP but also CAMHS themselves have tried to contact the school and help accommodate me but the school refuses to even help! I've suffered for so long with rumours, Bodyshaming, slurs thrown at me, to the point I'm used to it. I also at the time was quite depressed and despite asking and asking the school to do something about it they just reply with 'oh we'll exclude them' but that never works! It never will! Because these bullies are never actually punished but instead praised. The school also has a 6 month waiting list for counselling which only further proves my point that people like me also feel depressed and instead the teachers tell them to just repress their feelings so they don't have to do their jobs, for the longest time I've thought of ending my own life because this school seriously doesn't help with any mental health problems and instead cry about your low attendance, not only that the teachers don't even help you with any work and don't go through anything, classes are constantly disrupted by brain dead idiots and their not ever told off, yet if it were me or another student talking we'd be told off, this is plain favouritism to the bullies and it's unfair, not to mention their never punished for what they do, so please for the sake of most people in this school DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE I BEG, THIS SCHOOL IS SO USELESS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND WON'T HELP YOU WHILE YOU NEED IT MOST.

Hi, its me again. Honestly, im just here to warn you all about what happens behind closed doors, such as staff refusing to work with CAHMS for the mental health of a student. And a certain teacher has went on a long tangent about how eating disorders and depression dont exist and are just being lazy and that people with mental health issues are dangerous and should not be allowed into society. What the f#ck. My parents have mental health issues and they are completely fine, but this teacher is highly against mental health and not to mention a friend of mine has an eatig disorder, she knows this and was staring at him the whole assembly. There is active bullying going on and the teachers do nothing. Slurs were being thrown around, you get judged for liking anime or for drawing or for writing. Everything. I can not stand this school and have been considering s#icide because of how low my self esteem has went. I hate being here and can not move because I'm about to move onto GCSE'S. The scho also covers up for the bullies and give no care about the victim. I have been threatened countless of times, and the schools solution? You can leave 5 minutes early. Pathetic. To be frank, the staff of this school have a stick up their arse. Some are okay, but mkst of them are absolutely horrible. Note for the people who review this before allowing it to post: please let this be posted, its an opinion

This school neglects your mental health. They try to bribe you to stay in school, but there is no privacy. There is one toilet room for both girls and boys, girls and boys can bring make up and spray deodorant even though there are kids with asthma. Some kids stand by when someones having an asthma attack, others threaten to jump others and there are fights every bloody day. Your mental health is going to be terrible and it's going to get worse if you ever set foot in this school. It is going to destroy you from the inside out if you come to this school you have a high chance of getting beaten by older years. There are knife threats going around, and kids get harassed be ayse they are simply disliked. Staff will threaten the bullies, but will co tinue to move the bullies to the bully victims classes. And food options, there are barely any vegetarian or vegan options for break and lunch and dinner ladies have no clue what's in the food and whether they have nuts or not

This school is really bad. The staff/students are completely out of line with constant racist and homophobic slurs thrown around in and out of lessons. I don't feel safe here. The pso's/support staff do absolutely nothing to help with it. If you're struggling with mental health, the school will treat you worse (constantly nag about attendance etc.) they might give you counselling but you'll have to wait like 6 months for it. The food is really bad, barely any veggie options and everything else comes with cheese. They also have dumb rules on piercings (no facial piercings because they are "too distracting") some of the teachers are very creepy. Don't send your kids here, I beg you

Not a horrible school not great at all though, I was bullied for a while staff did nothing at all, they barely help with anything like mental health, bullying the pso office is useless they’ll literally do nothing at all find a different school lol

Not a bad school, but not great either. The staff are great....mostly. it's only bad if you are struggling because the staff will do absolutely nothing to help you.

It’s a decently school don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t receive much help personally when I was struggling with work or when I was struggling really bad mentally. I was bullied in this school for years and nothing got done for it. It’s good enough if you live close by but if you want the best for yourself or your child then I suggest somewhere else. I met some of my closest friends in this school and I’ll never forget them and we made some amazing memories here too.

It’s good! The school always provides us with masks if we forget but by half of that the school is good with them :)
