ITS SHIT

student

this school is absolutely horrendous it’s so bad that i beg my mum not to go the teachers are horrible. there are so many teachers who favourites students and pay more attention to them and more attention on the naughty students. the food is disgusting it’s so overpriced it’s not even cooked properly so i don’t go into the dinner hall it’s so dirty. some teachers are ok but they don’t even know how to do there job it’s obscure. the students who really struggles with school are the ones who get forgotten about. all these stupid teachers care about are the popular kids,naughty kids,wanting us to get a good education but they don’t teach you anything,uniform,hair,jewellery,shoes,makeup,hands like nails and nail varnish and things like that
MY WARNING IS THIS DONT SEND UR CHILDREN HERE

Graham Is A Pisstake

The absolute worse school in Scarborough. The kids gets mistreated and shouted at for no reason, the staff don’t care about any problems the students have and are mostly incompetent. Don’t even get me started about the vile school lunches, the chicken is pink and undercooked and have put many students in hospital from food poisoning….! unacceptable..

This school is awful i have alot to say

This school is awful, i feel like in my 4 years of being at this school i have learned nothing my brain is literally dead and ive had many incidents with girls etc being mean to me and eveerytime ive reported it to a teacher favouritism is used because they liked them more and didnt solve my problem the uniform is ugly asf and it makes me want to die everytime i put it on and they also dont let us do what we want to our appearances is so there no way of having ur own identity we might aswell be in a concentration camp the skirts are like nun dresses like b bffr. and ive literally had an incident wear i got chased down the hall way by a teacher because of me having my nose stud in and also they are always screaming and being disrespectful towards us but as soon as we even dare to give back the energy they give us we get punished. and we arent even allowed to piss when we need to go and ive ended up getting a urine infection from this and now they have shut all the toilets apart from one of the boys and one of the girls and there is over 1200 students in this school so you cant even go to the toilet inbetween lessons so you end up having to hold it for longer because of the queues that literally go out of the door because if ur late to lesson u will get punished even if you say you were just waiting for the toilet and at lunch the teachers always stand at the doors of the toilets and at break too and dont let you in more than once and literally block you like body guards and will quite literally shove you if you try to get past them and tell you to sort out ur bladder??? they also start knocking on ur toilet door if you take "too long" because theres a queue but maybe if they unlocked all the other toilets again everyone would be able to use the toilet and there would be no issue. The school rules are ridiculous and it makes me feel as if i have no freedom ur teenage life is supposed to be the best years of ur life but not at this school ive been trying to move since year 8 but unfortunately no luck. hope they see this and maybe listen but proabably not because they couldnt care abt their students x

horrendous and never letting my children go here

very bad hygiene in the kitchen, the meals are undercooked and many students have found hair and/or metal in their food. it also gets taken off you if you don't have money which is a piss take because they are starving people the food is almost never fresh except for on mondays because its a new week. the uniform is atrocious and they are very strict on the rules of uniforms even though they made it look so ugly. the skirts aren't allowed to be rolled but without doing so we look like nuns at a church. many students pull the fire alarms to waste time so they don't have to be in lessons if i were you i would hate for my future children to ever come to this school.

bad school

the food is so bad. i have found metal hair or raw meat in my food and it's so expensive for poor quality. on all days except mondays its served old and cold. the uniform is ugly and uncomfortable and they don't allow any exceptions.. frankly it's embarssing to go here and if were you i wouldn't go/send my kids unless you want them bullied or perved on by teachers (one got sent to prison for assult on 3 different girls)

awful, unfair

this school is not understanding doesn't listen under cooked food daily and they are days old, the meals are overpriced and expensive, free school meals cant even buy that much, doesn't offer a variety of food, same everyday. DRINKS NEVER COLD. uniform is uncomfortable. NO freedom to express yourself and there extremely strict on skirts and jewlery. the behaviour system is unfair and biased towards the teacher. the uniform prices are outrageous £5 for an ugly tie?? they seriously need to sort themselves out its not okay.

Too dangerous

Was bullied and harassed entire duration of my time there. Was put in several life threatening situations by other students. Every week, someone was injured or threatened injury. Teacher that was once there is now on a register and in prison of 10 statements. New head teacher every year. Bomb threats, constant fake fire alarms. All round caused myself and many of my peers trauma and we wish to never return or send our own kids there. No individuality, might as well be identified by a number.

Could be better, lovely teachers. Mental about uniform and no ways to express urself. Great option choices and teaching methods.

10/10 reccomment

On the last week it is so fun- you get loads of treats like ice cream vans and bungee trampolines, segways, loads of inflatables and spool much more and it's all free! The staff do their best but there is bullying and chavs but that's everywhere so Graham is a great school if your located in Scarborough

If you can go somewhere else go

Pretty much everyone hates going here but some of the teachers are nice and there are some great people but chavs and bully’s are pretty much everywhere and most of time in class is spent with the teacher telling of someone.

Not worth it

They really do not care about you, and don't look out for students or listen to their concerns- if you do well its solely because you've gone out of your way to do so. The teachers just pay for online PowerPoints, speed through them and then expect you to know the whole topic. There are a handful of good ones, and honestly I feel sorry for them.

Wasn’t the worst but could have been better

I wish I could say my experience was good but there’s no point lying. From favouritism, to poor treatment. There are a lot cases where students are left with no choice but to become walking corpses day in and day out. Throughout my 5 years at graham, I’ve witnessed multiple students having to resort to moving schools in order to feel happier and safer in the environment. Bullying is a very big problem and as a victim of bullying, I can tell you that the teachers have no intention to solve the problem. You’re just told to put up with it until something happens. Often the bully is expelled due to persistent bad behaviour but nothing is put in place for the victim to recover from the incident.
In classes, more attention/spotlight is put on the badly behaved students rather than the class and we often ended up leaving the lesson with only 20-30 minutes worth or learning.
Unfortunately, there’s a lot of favouritism that goes on within classes. Wether it be the school’s athletes and prodigies or the governor’s daughter, it’s visibly there. Students are often left behind because they’re unable to ask for help or not payed attention to altogether. This is really hard because I met a lot of lovely people and teachers who were genuinely nice but ignoring the school’s problems isn’t going to get it anywhere and I don’t want other student’s lives to be affected by the blatant mistreatment.

There are bully’s and people with attitude problems in most year groups and most teachers make no sense
