Grays Convent High School

this school is NOT good, please do NAWT waste yo time coming yo this school, they have barely any halal options in the canteen, if you're a Muslim and you want to get something to eat at the canteen you'll be absolutely scanning like a spy to find something halal, most of the school departments are terrible, except from P.E & SCIENCE, maybe art aswell. The music department is absolutely terrible, most instruments are broken or not cleaned, the only instrument you'll find in a good state is those little keyboards on the side. In most of the practical lessons you're not even learning, you're just writing down stuff on the board and hoping for the best. Also, the school shows really obvious favouritism towards people that are in year 10 & 11, I honestly wish you the best if in year 7 because you'll be treated like dirt. Also the school is pretty understaffed, there's only 2 cleaners & the school is rarely ever clean, I once had my P.E teacher teach me R.E...worst lesson of my life. I did not learn a single thing...

Overall the learning isn’t the best, teachers however are appalling to say the least however a small fraction of them are average. By my grading you can get an idea of what type of school it is.

Absolutely shameless school! One teacher told my daughter that she could see her “bumhole” when her skirt was one inch above her knee while wearing shorts underneath. They had her put in inclusion all day missing SIX lessons because of her skirt which was just an inch above her knee. She complied with the rules and pulled it down to her knee and they still disrespected her and made her sit in the room all day missing key information from her lessons. Also threatened to call her dad who she has no contact with and has numerous issues with and my daughter ended up bursting into tears because of their foul language and disrespect. My daughters skirt was many inches longer than their school skort that many girls were wearing but my daughter was getting picked on.

The standard of teaching has lowered lots since I first joined the school. The building is very old and dirty but they are building onto it. The teachers are generally nice but many are unprofessional. The school doesn’t have very good facilities except for PE and Music. The students are quite rowdy but the school is very diverse and most people are approachable and friendly. I wouldn’t neccesarily recommend this school but it has very good GCSE results and is diverse for the area.

There is more focus on getting average grades and getting through life. If you are a normal person this school is good for you. If you want a challenge, then maybe not. Some teachers are good and some are bad. Some get worse over time. The students are amazing (depends on your year group thou). Things are getting better so maybe some time later you will find a better review.
