Six of the best for the new Headmaster.
It used to be that teachers were, in the main, intelligent, bright and could think on their feet, but that was back when they were trained at Teachers Training College - sadly now they are, in the main, university educated dimwits which was clearly demonstrated on the first day of the new term when the nervous and apprehensive female new starters were verbally attacked and barred from entry because their skirts were too short, skirts that were officially purchased by their parents.

Inept,poor teaching staff.
In general a very poor quality of teaching staff,teachers have a terrible teaching ability in general,they seem to enjoy throwing detentions/exclusions around more than teaching the pupils..the staff use the powers they have to disguise their general ineptitude in putting across the subjects in general to the children..

Send in the clowns
An absolute joke so far as dealing with special needs students and communicating effectively and in a timely manner with parents. Teaching staff work hard and are extremely committed but unfortunately led by senior management who couldn't run a chip shop. Don't send your children here.

They need to get a grip.
The teachers are absolute utter bullies. They wasted 2 years of my time there trying to get me diagnosed with autism and didn't even help with their part in the assessment. They didn't want to deal with upset students so now just suspend them. No listening or problem solving skills, theyre going to end up with a law suit if they keep going the way they're going.

Quite bad school
Decent school apart from they force their students to do unnecessary GCSEs to make themselves look good. Snide if you ask me. Used to go here a few years ago.

Okay school
Okay school. Bad GCSE options when I went there and force you to do options that you don’t want to and that are unnecessary just to make the school look good. Some good teachers some bad teachers.

Kind of bad
Decent school apart from they force their students to do unnecessary GCSEs to make themselves look good. Didn’t enjoy my time here. Used to go here a few years ago.
