    Don`t. Just don't

    i left here in yr 8 to go to a diff school because of how bad the bullying there got. It happened right in front of multiple different teachers and they did nothing to stand up for me. They favor the boys so much they got away with everything but then girls got in trouble for helping their friend. There was whole thing where this boy was sexually harassing different girls and they all tried to report it but they did nothing. Then this one girl created a group chat for everyone where they could...

    They don’t listen.

    They don’t listen to the students. Like at all. We express opinions on numerous matters within the school from education to staff and they don’t listen. Instead when students express their opinion on a certain topic (e.g. time to revision and stating they have none) they go and give assembles about how y11 doesn’t revise enough. There are also matters with teachers not listening to the students on trips. Obviously they would like to take photos on trips and awards but they don’t listen when the children express they don’t want theirs taken, instead they make you to. Unless your guardians haven’t given permission then you still have to and then they dot out your face when posting online. The teachers can’t teach correctly either tbh and then blame the students whilst also not communicating between each other. This then gets the students confused and in the wrong. They don’t communicate properly with students either about events or situations but that’s a whole different matter.

    Shocking.

    i used to think this school was great, however recently it has decreased hugely in hope. safeguarding team are no help. children are bullied and no adult tries hard enough to solve the problem. not enough support for those who require additional help or have special needs. most of the teachers are better at safeguarding than the whole safeguarding team. do not send your child here if they need additional support, have any form of disability or confidence issues. upon the occurrence of an inci...

    Clearly, this school does not deal with Bullying Twice I have known of instances where this has happened, be this racial motivated or plain bullying the school has done nothing but sweep under the carpet.

    Do not send your child there.

    So bad for your child, teachers don't understand and will refuse children of their rights. Bullying is very popular there and alot of the teachers are pedophiles.

    Awful leadership

    Shockingly poor communication. Do not send your child here if they have any additional needs of any kind. The leadership is inadequate and they willfully ignore recommendations from medical professionals and refuse to acknowledge ways to support the young people in their school.

    School

    Teachers are nice and you can get along with them, most students can get there head down and work others just need that little push, new build is amazing, this school is right for you.

    During lock down

    At first not too good, but during lockdown the school has been amazing! They have definitely improved so much and the teachers have been supportive during this hard time!
