    I think the school is terrible. Im a student doing my GCSEs, I struggle with both mental and physical health and only go in for exams (that was previously agreed to). As exams have now started, they staff have been incredibly rude and arrogant to me about my disabilities and to my mum. Ive hated that school since I started.

    what a sugar honey iced tea hole

    Fearnhill school is a good school if you have special needs, but it’s a dead school if you want to express yourself. for example, i’m gay and i wear the same amount of makeup as the girls in my yeargroup, and only my makeup if picked up on. i wouldn’t have a problem with the school rules if it was equal for boys AND girls. overall a good school if you find it easy to fit in, otherwise it’s a joke!!! Thank you and goodnight.

    Communication

    Don't take it personally but,Fearnhill has really bad communication.Loads of teachers can't even tell my child where the after school English club was.Such a waste of time for my child looking for it and coming home as they cannot find it.If they're expecting my child to come,why don't they take a responsibility to make sure they're in that room after 3:00PM rather just leaving them to handle it themselves and yet,my child was a new year 7 so of course I would be complaining about it. Then again, my child had left their PE bag at home by accident so I had to give it to the receptionist and they said they would hand it to my child but they didn't.The next day, my child was looking for it in the reception/lost and found basket.The lady said "Oh, this one on the table had been left here since yesterday" what a lazy sceme?! Can't they even do one job they priortized to like hand it to my child instead of leaving it there?This is just a re-view so you have my opinion.

    don't care about you or you metal health

    don't let your children go here in less you want them to coming home in tears every night. the do not give a flying fuck about your metal health. for example mr sheridan is rude , uneducated unfriendly man in the school . he give out detentions left right and centre . I got s detention from him for not taking my shoes and socks of in a drama lesson because I didn't was my feet on the dirty floors. I was only at this school for 2 years and 2 months before I had to leave because I was getting bull...

    Fearnhill report

    Never helped with bullying, never done what they said that they would to help, always listened to other students and called me a liar. Singled me out because of my disabilities, treated me like I was trash. Constantly took me out of class for no reason just to make up a lie that I done something when I never actually spoke in class. Said I lied about my mental health for attention. Overall very bad attitude towards students and the teachers only care about the actual bullies and go on there side all the time!

    i dread going here.

    They seem to focus more on uniform than people’s well being and expression.

    Poor safeguarding - 2016 onwards

    One of many terrible experiences I suffered at this school was that I was tripped over in P.E and landed on the gravel knee first, cutting my knee open. When taken to the nurses office, they treated it poorly and contacted my mum saying it was just a graze on the knee and was not serious (though I could barely walk and had blood loss). This was around 2016, and things may have changed, but nevertheless the school has always had terrible standards and I would not recommend sending your child here.

    Finished there 2 months ago. To start with, the school was bad 5 years ago with behaviour but that got a lot better. Had a rough time with teachers in yr8 as I went through 7 different science teachers in a year. That got better as afterwards they got some great staff and they were great at being there helping with exams despite being in lockdown for 2 years before GCSEs. However the school does lack good quality basic equipment and looks unappealing but thats not a huge deal. My main issue was in the last year after lockdown (2022) vapes became the new trend in school at which the staff were slow to stop. This led to parts of the school (like the toilets) being unsafe due to groups of students with vapes and drugs.
