    My secondary education

    Hi, I attended this place when it was just Francis Combe school, by far the worst days of my life, (1974-1979) I learnt nothing but how to hide from the amount of bullying, physical violence and abuse you could imagine, so much so a pupil took his own life! Headmasters to cleaners did nothing, in my opinion close it down for good , those who taught or attended know this is the truth!

    a lots needs to be improved icl

    teachers love staring at you to give you detention, school dinners are disgusting ( i got food poisoning from their curry) there is hair in the food. food is NOT fresh they use the same curry for a couple times a week also they dont use gloves for the food. they dont sell water bottles anymore so you are forced to drink from the very dirty water fountains. they say they dont sell water bottles anymore due to plastic waste even though they wrap the food they cook and sell in layers of plastic wra...

    Don't go.

    I'd give 0 if I could. Absolutely AWFUL place!! I was a victim of s*xual harassment as well as my friend and they did nothing about it. I was bullied and nothing was done. There's only like 4 good teachers. Students are awful and all treat everyone like shit. ? Worst choice of my life going here. They don't care about their students, only their reputation.

    Dont go. Please. Dont.

    Dont go there. It's an awful place. People are homophobic and racist and the teachers dont do anything. You cant learn without kids disrupting the lessons. You get made fun of for basically everything. Go somewhere, ANYWHERE else but there.
