My experience.
I left this school during the new branding into Dixons Academy Trust. It was good until they completely drained the colour out of the logo, the uniforms, and pretty much everything else. Most teachers, (not all), are pretty hostile towards students. I remember an instance when a teacher yelled at my former classmate for 'lying' about their medical condition and refused to let them go to First Aid. Furthermore, most of them played favourites, the mean, popular kids would always be congratulated o...

Human rights
Toilets are locked during lessons and we share 4 small toilets between 13 thousand kids Whitch then during break and lunch year 11s have to use the same toilets the whole school has used. All stairs are locked during lessons so if you are on top floor you are locked up there and cannot get down lifts are blocked with keycards so people with disabilities.

don't go to this school
Too many pupils and not enough staff , which can not control the student's nor put any effort into lessons. The whole building is falling down , there's leaks all over the ceilings and half of the lights in the whole school don't work . If you look around the school the majority of it has cracked or broken walls / ceilings . In 'B' block the ceiling and lights fell down on a fellow classmates . And is a dangerous place to walk in.

ABSOLUTELY VILE SCHOOL (Don’t recommend)
NO WORDS!! the hygein in that rotten discusting shameful school is not on. Farrel thinks it’s okay to nearly batter the kids every morning for not taking their coats off. My child feels intimidated by the dinner ladies cuz they throw burgers at you and tell you to f off and i find that horrific. The toilets have writing saying rude inappropriate things. Woody the cleaner starts running over the year 7s scaring the life out of them. Cleaners throw tables about and don’t think i’m having it mate cuz i’m fuming acting like i wont knock everyone in that school clean out cuz yes i will and i don’t know who put a 50p in Mrs holland and all the english and maths department cuz they better sort it out before i go in me. Wtf is that school lad it’s a disgrace and if i was you just don’t even do it there’s bald dinner ladies chasing kids about and forcing them to eat out of date food that they spit on.

SAVE YOUR KIDS
School is absolutely rotten.A great amount of students in that school and a new rule has been placed one 4 toilets are available for the whole school. Therefore children are losing their learning times and spending most of their education queueing for the toilet. I think it’s so so unfair this new rule and i will not allow my daughter to be places is such a horrendous school. I’m absolutely terrified to step foot in that school. Gangs everywhere, teachers verbally abusing the children and using force and getting away with it. Food is rotten and plastic and the kebabs are purple. The dinner ladies are discusting no personal hygiene what so ever. Slamming the plastic burgers about and threatening the kids with the cutlery. I advise you to stay well away

Humanity's Lowest Point
The teachers are completely under-qualified, or simply don't care. The few good ones leave after a couple of years. Incidents of bullying or abuse are not taken seriously. Teachers have very little control over the students, there is a complete lack of resources, the school is absolutely unfit for any kind of productive learning at all.

Dont recommend
School is awful there is no help for students, teachers are emotionally and verbaly abusive. The food is watered down and way to exspensive. The are no lockers in use and equipment for gsces is unreasonably expensive

The teachers are the best ?
The teachers are really nice and they care about u so much if your upset or just having a bad day they will take you out of class and try and help u with what’s wrong. All the teachers are inspirational and u should send your kid here because it’s the perfect education and you make lots of friends and you get close to the teachers also you build a amazing relationship with them. ?
