Ellis Guilford School

After I moved schools from Nottingham girls academy because of how rude and disrespectful the teachers were : and how girls were bullying each other for being who they were. I moved to Ellis guilford and ever since ellis guilford has changed my life. I understand that things happen like that at these schools, but I realised that it was not for me, because since us girls have hormones and our body’s changing a lot throughout us growing, going to an all girl school just creates more drama and a lot of girls in distress.I am wayyy more happier now that I have moved to schools, teachers respect me, they have such creative ways of bringing their students attendants up and making them want to come to school on days they don’t want to, and honestly it just amazes me. From all the times I have heard about how bad this school was and how I shouldn’t go there because many parents have gone through bullying in that school, going there proved me that even if the past was bad there will always be someone there to change that for the later generations. If you are reading this and you are thinking about putting your child into this school but your not sure because of what you have heard around this area I promise you this this will be one of the greatest school you can put your child into.

The teachers are shit. The food is shit. (quite literally) The staff is shit. Just breathing in the same air that lives upon that school,is shit. At this point you can’t even call it a school,PE changing rooms are like mental hospitals patched on with a school logo because that’s just branding for people at it’s finest. Don’t go to this school,don’t do their favours just so they can be called a “good” school. Because seriously,they ain’t shit.

While this school might have garnered a 'good' rating in 4 years since almost being closed, the staff more than the students leave a lot to be desired. The teachers cater to the ones who cause the most trouble and allow those who actually want to learn to be bullied and are punished for speaking out. I find the methods on how they deal with students less than satisfactory and as a teacher, I wouldn't bother working here if it can be helped.

i got touched while doing sports day and had a panic attack during the school day and they didn't say anything about it. the food is alright but so expensive they also took money off my card i had 15.50 and they took 2.50 off it and don't get me started on some of the teachers they grabbed my friend and was racist to my friend while doing the lesson

They are very bad bad service bad school don't go to it TRUST ME

This school is absolutely disgusting and vile my daughter attends this school and the ammount of bullying mentally and pyshically is beyond a joke the staff do nothing my daughter was kicked out on Monday for 1 and half days for leaving intex for her own safety the teachers made up lies that she was truanting but when I go to the meeting my daughter was telling the truth she left intex for her own safety she never got an appolagie from the school it is absolutely a vile school it's not just the children that are bullies so are the teachers!!!

Terrible school !!!!! They way they have left my son and allowed the attackers to stay is school.is disgusting. Been waiting feom January for a managed move and still my son is not in school ... ellis ain't got no clues how to do anything.

a lot of violence and racism, the teachers do not have an attitude towards violent children, they even favor them and are punished by threatening with expulsion all the children who are victims

James girling if you’re reading this you need to swap jobs. This school is horrendous, I’ve been here 4 years and have learnt nothing… the first 2 years were okay and it was a fresh start however after year 8 it got bad. The teachers don’t care, they exclude you for anything, the receptionists are rude and the teachers don’t help. They don’t listen to what the children suggest and they lie to the parents. They snatch phone out of hands even after the child has said no to taking it off them.

im an a student at this school i can not lie its not the best it is very draining for any student that goes there and some staff are good.but others dont listen to a word u say.a teacher got me exluded for expessing my opion and the food is over priced like why is it 2 pound for half of a bagette.the safe grauding people dont even make u feel safe there are the worst teacher.and all the languages teachers are not good at all

Just going to say that none of them care for the students mental health and are suffering depression and anxiety. There hasn’t been one day where my child can walk in a room without being offended or forced to do something by other students.

Hello, i am a year 8 at Ellis guilford school! My experiences here are mixed with good and bad, I got a C2 (20 min punishment after school) the other day for lack of effort. I don't understand why, I was in dance and i helped my group, my teacher knows that usually I wont do anything, if it wasn't her it might've been in food tech.. either way i didn't go. The school meals are absolutely delicious so this is a shoutout to the cooks i love how they put music on, its so funny. The cleaners are so kind and they care about the students. Most teachers such as: Mr. Wingfield, Miss. Hardstaff, Miss. Greenshields, Miss. Linton, Mr. Legg, Miss. Measures, Miss. Evans (in science), Mr. Mceag (sorry if i spelt it wrong),Miss. Smith and so much more are such wonderful teachers! But, just one small problem.. or should i say BIG problem, the bad teachers I wouldn't say that they suck at teaching but, some are just mean and strict and don't understand the students feelings at all. Now that, that is over I want to talk about homework, its under compete understanding that it is within law to do it, but, the chromebooks are rubbish, not that they are broken or anything, but that the passwords keep getting reset by whoever is doing it, I cant even log onto seneca, and there was nothing wrong with class charts, now I lost my password for arbor and its not helping that i'm getting pressured by teachers to do it or I am in for a C2 some teachers wont listen to what the students have to say, some however, they care and give us time to compete it, the school needs a suggestion box for students to agree on what the headteacher and his team decide to change about the school, in year 7 it was so simple but now that they have changed a lot of things its kind of hard to keep up, I mean.. I can barley log onto my chromebook. No school is perfect and that is fine this school is so modern and nice and its a good place to go to, I am just hoping that the headteacher will read this, and if you are your doing your job well, a bit too well, the students need a bit of a break to catch up with a few more things and i have spoke to a few people who go to this school and they agree, I love this school so much but it is really hard to keep up for now. And once again, the learning and food and teachers are all wonderful and i recommend for people who are in year six to come to this school!

Not a great school at all, always has teachers coming and going so students learn near to nothing. We are treated differently bc of our academic levels, and the smarter ones get favourite 2/10 DONT send your kids here

Some Reception staff are rude, slams the phone down when I've not even finished talking, they don't do anything about the kids that don't bother to attend, but if you child has a day off sick, well strike me down they send a letter and ring you even if your child is usually always at school and not late,and is generally a good student, and don't get me started on the PE department a detention for have a small tick on your buttons, a verbal warning for not having your kit but have a sick note it's backwards...

bad school would not recommend

We’re do I start, I learnt nothing at that school. The teachers cared more about the students that missed behaved. They also cared nothing about the safety of there students. Having been there the amount of people I seen being bullied is unreal, if you want you kid to have the worst experience they could have at a school then send them to Ellis. Don’t get me wrong there was a few good teachers at Ellis however, they was out numbered by the worst. I knew teachers that would have behaviour points took of students because they knew there family, how pathetic. I would rather my son be dead then sent to that mess of a scoop

No words can describe it it’s terrible they let students bully other students but then said to your parents that they’ve dealt with it

just bad. no words. been here just over a year and a lot of people wish they could transfer schools.
