Why Goresbrook is bad
I used to go there. We were punished for things like holding pens, drinking water, coughing, sneezing etc. It was like a military confinement camp, and I sincerely wanted to stop. Detentions are called re-routings and you have to write "I will improve my behaviour to ensure I do not get any re-routings" 70 TIMES. I found myself falling asleep in classes. I am Muslim and fasting in the month of Ramadan but because of alleged law confinements I was made to sit and watch other people eat in the can...

Goresbrook school is not a good place
Goresbrook school is not a good place for children my child constantly feels that’s she is bullied by teachers and she is not reaching her full potential at this school because of the way the teachers treat their students. I do not recommend it . Thank you

There's a special place in hell for goresbrook.
Goresbrook just gets worse overtime. If you have the choice, do not go here unless you're blessed by blatant favouritism.

AMAZING!
I started going to goresbrook around September and the school is actually great! The learning is incredible and the teachers are actually very nice, just a few that are not as nice. One of them normally rolls her eyes at us. Although, I'm normally on edge in case I get in trouble, the school can be very unpredictable- the homework system is also a bit worrying. Everything is online, it's very smart but im always worried the system may glitch somehow- Overall though, the school is amazing and I absolutely recommend going there, it's just the rules that may seem very very strict, but you get used to them :]

DONT GO TO THIS SECONDARY
teachers do not care about your mental health. nobody can teach, although it is diverse you will still occasionally find white teachers targeting pupils of colour, they suspend students unreasonably. i would not advise my worst enemy to come here. this school has done nothing but damage my mental health 200x more. if a student which the teachers like more than you, have an assumption they share with the teachers. EVEN IF ITS A LIE, you will still get whacked into navigation (isolation). during my time in goresbrook i have been put into navigation when inspectors come, because i am seen as a “troubled child”. they hide away the misbehaved students when the reputation of the school is being judged. they FREQUENTLY, permanently exclude students just before exam season over little things putting them in a bad position, but i guess getting rid of the children just to keep your “top gcse results in the borough” is okay. teachers treat children like we’re soldiers, giving us half an hour for not being in a straight line. teachers could be informed a student was to get beaten up and they would do nothing but make the victim seem like a suspect. during my time in goresbrook secondary, teachers have not ever once given a student the benefit of the doubt but instead, punished the student for doing something anyone else would do. goresbrook will stress you out, your child will 100% go isolation at least once even if they’re the most well behaved child. they will 100% sit more than 4 detentions, go to a school where children’s minds our valued and not a school that’s on the SA list

WORSE SCHOOL IN BARKING AND DAGENHAM
Please do not send your child/children there expecially if you are not white. Teachers there are extremely racist and not professional. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD THERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH PLEASE. I'M WRITING THIS BY MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. STAY AWAY ?

#Weird School
•They give detentions/lost notes. For dumb reasons example laughing or even smiling tf. •Confiscated my phone because it was notifying once. (Can't do that/none-sense) •Not professional and uncomfortable people to be around with! & @wtf Stupid school rules in GBS honestly… •Exam rules E.G don't bring not see through water bottle, no I will write on it I guess so. No common sense •Being "late" on Exams, a few minutes? guess what it wasn’t even that bad. lastly its a prison school?.
