Very poor
Discipline awful, kids constantly roaming the corridors, vaping, answering back, it has a very low progress 8 meaning kids do worse than expected. The school ups its Ofsted rating by making kids do additional exams with very little support eg hpq, level 3 algebra in year 10 which they subsequently fail, further maths etc. Very little streaming so disruptive kids are in with academic kids. Send your kids to Lymm or Bridgewater if you want good grades

neglectful, little to no pastoral support, no bullying intervention,
* there's very little safeguarding because of the lack of pastoral support. bullying, abuse, neglect, social rejection, mental health issues and 'inappropriate behaviour' are unrecognised or ignored and they fail to act. they have no knowledge of what's going on in the student's lives because they rarely ask them how they are doing or take an interest in their wellbeing. *my mental health got to the point that i couldn't even brush or wash my hair, no staff intervened or helped, not even my f...

trust me its a bad school
The school locks the toilets during lessons and only really let you go if you have a toilet pass. After a group of people got the toilet pass they stared only giving it to students with medical conditions.

do not go
this school does not care for student issues such as homophobia, transphobia and s.a. the rules are strict about self expression (eg no jewellery or coloured hair) yet preaches for us to be who we want to be. the food is so bad, there is little to no vegan/vegitarian options, and my friend once got food poisoning after eating a wrap.

Former student at sankey high
I had struggled with bullying i got treatened by other kids, the new depty head thinks he is better than everyone because he has worked in the behavioural system, he sat me in a room to talk about something i was never involved him and all he could say to my mum wad i was moral support for my friend, which then made the rest of the year hell. Teaching there is okay some teachers sound clueless some teachers do not deal with the naughty kids so they get progressivly worst though the lesson, anyone who may be thinking of going here i do not reccommend if you want to do well i felt like i learnt bear minimum the only teachers i really understood was maths, art, foodtech i remember learning lots of things from them until they jumble teachers, really underdeveloped school teachers dont go there to teach they sit and wait to get paid

Great Sankey High School
The PE department are excellent, the library is boring, most of the staff are lovely apart from one of the English teachers who were very racist and said "all Muslims are terrorists" during a lesson about 9/11. They've only just started bringing pastoral care into the school and they don't have many resources for young children in a mental health crisis. The teaching is average. They don't handle bullying very well either.

School Creates Bullies
I left this school almost 2 years ago and am still (and always will be) recovering from the hell I suffered there. Year 7 started off with a manipulative best friend turning some of my form against me, but the teachers wouldn't let me move form. Due to this, the bullying continued and my entire form turned against me, and cyberbullied. School did nothing about this and just told me to ignore them - which I couldnt do as they would not stop. People would pretend to be my friend only to laugh at me behind my back. They'd throw books at me in class, which teachers would ignore. They would throw food (out of the bin) and water. Theyd run up to me and kick me or hit me and the teachers did NOTHING. They knew what was happening and they blamed me because i was "edgy". Some teachers just watched and others joined in. Particularly the PE teacher who apparently had an affair, but thats none of my business. The bullying grew to the point where everyone in the school was involved, teachers and younger and older classes. One day, almost the entire Year 7 group cornered me and my friends and were throwing food and water, i punched one and they wanted to exclude me because i was "a danger to students". One teacher woke up from this and realised how bad things had got. He was the only teacher in that school after that who understood, but unfortunately one isnt enough.

Unsatisfactory working class care
Teaching quality is good if you get on with the work but apart few very passionate members of staff disadvantaged/problematic kids will be left to their own devices...

Poor awareness, vigilance, and little to do
Unaware member of staff, with very few which are worthy of mentioning. There is no vigilance outside and barely any inside, leading to certain situations which shouldn't happen at all. There's also nothing to be entertained by, unless you really like books. In that case head over to the library and spend your days there.
