Eckington School

i don’t know where to even start my children have come home crying,angry or even physically hurt after school they have joined a new trust and brought in “the eckington way” and at the heart of this eckington way is being safe and the only way to describe that is a lie this school is not “safe” and “anti-bullying” infact it’s quite the opposite my daughter would come home from school saying this such as “someone brought a knife to school today” or “one student beat up a member of staff” it’s just a joke.do NOT send your child to this school

I’m currently going to Eckington and there’s a lot of issues that are in the school. I think their priorities aren’t really in focus because instead of trying to sort out the huge bullying problem the school has, or instead of hiring better staff instead of having supplies for almost a whole year for a lesson, or instead of tackling large safeguarding issues to do with safety at school and creepy teachers, instead they think the way to fix the school is to make new houses and put up posters saying “it’s not ok” - I’m pretty sure most of those have been ripped off by students now. Some of the teachers are really cruel or mean, especially my maths teacher who has shouted at me a couple of times for seemingly no reason. But I can’t say all he staff are bad, a lot of the teachers are really good, my English, science, art, music, drama, geography, history and my other maths teacher are really good. I hope some of the big issues at school can be fixed because most of the staff are great. Just maybe instead of worrying about needless uniform and how long girls skirts are we should be worrying about real issues though.

Teachers are the only perk and the only teachers I feel confident enough to talk to I can list on one hand about mental health. Sex ed wasn't even taught to us because the teacher I had didn't want to so fucking great thanks for that. Dinner ladies are super nice though (love them).

Just shit to be honest with yous.Bout 2 Teachers in that school who can actually do their jobs which is bit shit ennet.Not as if there is that many teachers left its just filled with random supply teachers you will see for a week and then they sod off.Food tech is the worst part of it all its the most unhygienic kitchen ive ever seen, found an ant in some me cooking once.Filled with noncey teachers all full of them selves,you can see their egos growing by the minute, you’ve really got no chance of a future if you go to eckington so dont.

Teachers are weird and always try and pick on ppl who look like they cause no good
