Terrible. Threats everywhere.
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
Horrible
I have personally have not had alot of issues in my time in Dylan Thomas but I have seen many people around me getting beaten just because they are disliked by other students for no reason but also I have seen many people get jumped by other students just for standing up for themselves!? I have also seen many people get items thrown at them and rumours spreading about them even if they have done no wrong and it's just due to the fact they are anti-social or Introverted and on another note the lines are absolutely atrocious as I've seen many lines go all the way back to the toilets near the school entrance with some pupils even starving due to little food left-over yet the school do nothing about this and even worse is that teachers will HEAR students talk bad about another student and see them get bullied yet do not intervene or get up off their high thrones for once and I'm appalled by this I recommend you actually FIX your horrible school environment and get to work there is more then just these issues like Homophobia, Racism, sexism and ect.
Left me with huge amounts of anxiety and trauma.
Threats left and right, countless rude comments, stalking of social media accounts. It's disgusting. This school has given me so much trauma it's probably going to last ages.
Don't send your kids here.
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 good at all
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
It's meh
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.
Thank you
I love this school since have joined I feel safe and protected from where I used to be at my old home I am happy and safe now new home and new school this move has help me overcome so much in so little time have a long way to go but thanks to my new real home and this move to this school and everyone around me now that have been and that are helping me overcome thinhs I will achieve my goals and get where I want to be thank you dylan Thomas
It’s okay
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.
Good!
It’s good! The school always provides us with masks if we forget but by half of that the school is good with them :)
