    Im a student and this is how i feel about east Bergholt

    My time at this school has been marked by persistent emotional hardship and systematic failures in student care. Despite raising concerns repeatedly through both verbal and written complaints, I have been met with silence, inaction, and continued mistreatment. The lack of response from staff has left me feeling invisible and profoundly unsupported. These behaviours—ranging from discriminatory treatment, humiliation, and emotional neglect—are wholly inappropriate and demand urgent redress. One pa...

    Not great

    Despite the claim that the needs of students are always considered, our experience is nothing like this and individual needs often seem to be ignored. Communication within the school would also seem to be poor . Could not recommend the school

    Never send your children here! Worst school I’ve ever attended

    If you even remotely like your child never send them here I had the unfortunate displeasure of attending this school two years ago. This has been the worst school I’ve ever attended. Where do I start? - there are videos of the head teacher saying the n-word - the head teacher is racist, homophobic and transphobic - many teachers were racist, peodophiles, homophobic and transphobic - many teachers defended the actions of the pedo teachers -teachers side with the actions of racist students, saying that they are justified - they told students to lie to ofsted people. - they allowed bullying, vape usage, discrimination ect. - teachers are not stable, the school mainly runs of supply’s that have no idea what there teaching - they do not take mental health seriously - the school only punishes victims and rewards those being aggressive - it’s a regular occurrence for toilet stalls to be ripped down - teachers would drop pencils and look up little girls skirts when getting them - teachers had sex in the toilets My experience >>> I was facing a lot of homophobia and transphobia including attempts of violence, usage of slurs ect. I told many teachers including the head and they took no action to help me. This only stoped about 10 months as the person bullying me was expelled for selling drugs in school property. Also my art teacher would regularly rip up or bin my work. This art teacher is also supposed to be the leader of mental health, what a joke. A teacher shouted at me and attempted to give me an after school detention because my hand writing wasn’t neat enough (this was a month into yr7) There are more but I’d rather not get into them, mainly considering of poor treatment to me and my mental health

    Do your homework

    Do your homework on this school, they have availability for a reason. This is poorly managed and the teachers are not interested in teaching its were the teachers get jobs as they are not accepted anywhere else I have friends who are teachers and would not touch this school with a barge pole, the head is trying to change the presentation of the school but needs to get to the underlying problem changing the school uniform does nothing!

    Rubbish

    A truly terrible school. There is a total absence of discipline. Teaching is very, very low grade. Not surprising as teachers wear jeans and denim jackets. Pupils allowed to call teachers by first names. Massive staff turnover. Curriculum highly politicised. Emphasis on brainwishing pupils with leftist jetsum, rather than pursuing legally required National Curriculum. OFSTED need to urgently inspect this failing school.

    Do your research on this school

    This school is the most racist school in suffolk I was so appalled that my daughter went here. School uniform and litter was more important to them than racism and bulling. When I read the reviews on the school it seemed very lovely but soon came to realise the ugly truth about this school The teachers will talk bad about their own students my daughter included. They took my daughters phone and kept it for over the weekend and refused to hand it to her making me leave work to come and collect .

    disgusting

    the worst school. they don't even try to handle bullying, the teachers really just promoted it. they didn't supervise well at all. someone could get murdered and the teachers wouldn't even bat an eye. introverted kids are bullied just for being quiet and the teachers promote the behaviour of the naughty ones, awarding them when they do anything good. don't even bother going here unless you want to be bullied. disgusting school, should be shut down.

    East bergolt High School Review

    East bergolt highschool has very good teachers, who will support you no matter what. They are determined to get the grades up of all their students. The student environment is also good, students will help each other out and are very friendly.
