    Life at school...

    I don't like it because i get bullied all the time by the girls but no one does anything about it. I tried to tell a teacher but she said "it's your problem so deal with it". I just don't know how to live anymore... Everyday just gets worse than before im tired of living now. I need someone's help. They swear at me, send me death threats and don't like me because im ugly.

    Crap school

    This school is okay in teaching and stuff it's just I've been bullied very badly over the past 4 months and I've talked to multiple teachers over and over and they haven't done anything but talk to the people doing it and let them go with no punishment and recently I've been threatened. So if you're thinking of enrolling your child in this school please think of their bullying policy. They go on and on about how they handle it but when it actually happens they do nothing. So yeah.

    This school is ass.

    I've been going to this school for a few years and honestly, it's so bad. The punishments are harsh and unnecessary. The toilets are another story. There are used sanitary pads stuck on the walls, dirt all over the floor and walls, vapes in the toilet. Your not allowed to go to the toilet in lesson. They lock the doors so you can't leave your classroom. A kid last year wet himself in my lesson. A kid this year left the classroom without permission after asking to go to the toilet several times,...

    Should be ashamed

    I made another review about this monstrosity of a school about February time and it’s gone downhill even more I’m autistic and under senco but I get no help teachers are bullies , and unprofessional behaviour from the horrible headteacher mr Patterson gone downhill since mr monk left if I could I would get rid of mr Patterson and get a better headteacher , lessons are probably going to get disrupted because of the new building getting built soon don’t go here they just care about grades and not the actual mental health of the flipping students school meals are crap , safeguarding is another thing as well if a student is ill they can walk home with no actual supervision disguising school

    Run by robots.

    The school employs six deputy teachers, five heads of year, and several department heads. There have been instances where teaching assistants reportedly used inappropriate language towards parents and children in the absence of other teachers. Allegations have been made against teachers for dishonesty to enhance their image, blackmailing students, and causing parents to feel inadequate. Moreover, the school often alters its rules and struggles to enforce the established ones. The safeguarding protocols seem inadequate; students arriving by bus are allowed to walk home unaccompanied in cases of illness or suspension. Additionally, phone messages are frequently not relayed, even when calls are received. School meals can occasionally be greasy, undercooked, or depleted before all students are served. Students may be denied meals if their accounts lack sufficient funds. On a positive note, the school provides free bus transportation.

    No help for senco children

    Do not send you child here if they have special educational needs, they discriminate against you when you have a medical reason for being absent then threaten you with letters forcing you to get medical evidence!

    dont go to this school

    do not ever go to this school unless you want to be bullied by teachers really bad for senco care eg:student's with autism adhd ocd and more.they do not care about your mental health or your opinions you get detentions for the silliest little things eg:forgetting your planner or wearing a 1mm too long earing or jewellery appalling behaviour from the school and they phone parents and carers over stupid things.They also need a new headteacher immediately.pastoral are useless and the staff are manipulating.

    Experienced teacher misconduct, teacher still works there.

    Atrocious school. I experienced teacher misconduct/inappropriate actions from a teacher who is still working at the school. This consisted of discussion of meeting outside of school after finishing a levels, hugging and physically comforting in awkward unnecessary ways, making uncomfortable physical contact during photography lessons at the school, creating a friendship/closer relationship and taking advantage of mental health/using this as a way to get to myself as-well as talking about non sch...

    Inappropriate teachers and bad safeguarding.

    Safeguarding was terrible when at the school and issues we not seriously or properly dealt with. Specific teachers overstep boundaries with students forming more than a professional relationship and safeguarding trained staff dealt with the situation terribly. Mental health was seriously damaged of the student and the teacher still works there.

    don't go here

    as a student who just left most teachers are very nice but the environment for students is terrible barely any protection is given against bullying as well as little to no support being given to students in the event of bullying and even if there is it takes weeks or months for any sort of response. Wouldn't recommend.one of my story's is that school left a bulling message in the toilets for days and was still there when I left even throw I told them multiple times. The school has a massive smoking and drug problem and the schools general response was to keep it quiet and the teachers would not do anything to stop them the dinner lady's were just rude and the food is over priced often cold sometimes the food is just raw, like chicken. Theft was really big and once my mother called up school saying a would be late but I still lost my break if your child is going to be late go up with them and go to reception to sign them in.

    Not great.

    Gone down hill since Mr Monk left. Punishment after punishment. No support for child with extra needs. If you have a child under SENCO go to another school, this school only want perfect kids.

    Needs improvement

    Good school in terms of academic teaching and a strong focus in PE and the arts. However the indoor environment of inclusion and diversity is jolted by “locker room” that surrounds the students and a high tolerance for serious racial issues as well as teachers turning a blind eye to racist and homophobic language. The curriculum is also not nearly as inclusive and often excludes students from participating in certain activities such as allowing girls to do football in PE or teaching a wide range of novels in English and in history. All around I’d recommend the school but it needs improvement.
