    Shithole

    Honestly, the school is a mess. A "new build" been delayed for 2-3 years after promising every time to get it built which shows the schools incompetence to get things done. And with the education side teachers push you away if you're not smart or the favourite and they expect you to know everything before they are even told about it. And lots of teachers are always off and hindering students education and learning. Everyone is probably going to fail 50% of their subjects because of the teachers...

    HELL HOLE.

    terrible, the buildings nearly hurt students, its old and the roof on various occasions has collapsed and fell on students heads, some classrooms are breaking down too the point you can’t go in. On top of that bullying isn’t handled, boys beat up and threaten rape at girls and girls constantly stir stuff and the teachers go on their side. On top of that they focus on the uniform rather than anything else as well as sitting there and having teachers leave constantly. My daughter has been in that...

    It’s alright

    It’s an alright school it is what you make it, I made some good friends over the years but bullying needs to be handled more seriously. The school is in a state of disrepair and needs rebuilding soon, they say it will be build soon but we all know this will never happen. Teaches are fine but some just don’t care and seem like then only want the money, we had lots of substitute teaches over the years I was there. These substitute teachers seemed like they really didn’t know much and many used the behaviour system incorrectly. Overall the school is fine but there are better schools.

    Terrible school

    terrible school don't send your kids here. My daughter went here and was struggling with anxiety and depression along with some other stuff and the school did not help one bit. Also teachers are talking sh!t behind students backs

    as a former student

    They don’t help your mental health or state. The school smells awful and the food isn’t even close too good that the students Mainly eat the packaged stuff, it smells wet and damp and the behaviour system is a mess and no one understands so most do what they want. It needs too get better. The work they give is too high and they expect you too grasp it immediately, when you try too ask for help you either get pushed away if your not the favourite or you get ignored.

    Rife with bullying, inadequately managed

    Rife with bullying of all form to the extent my disabled son attempted suicide. My daughter is now being bullied and the teachers have done absolutely nothing apart from tell her to “man up” despite her explaining that she is receiving threats of rape and sexual harassment among all other forms of bullying from a particular boy in her class. The boys regularly beat up the girls and the teachers seemingly don’t see anything wrong with that. Emails sent are not acknowledged and are largely not res...

    Terrible

    Hello I am a student at the school and it’s terrible. I am homeschooled because of it but still linked to the school. I have autism and they treated my autism like another money tool. They never looked after me and left us 1 year+ Without contact. Don’t send your child here.

    Don’t go here

    Very bad environment. The teachers aren’t the best and people with mental illnesses and disorders aren’t dealt with

    Honest review from current student

    They are a bad school over all, it’s old and smells damp and the behaviour system is messed up and hard to understand. The work load is high and the teachers help their favourites rather than everyone on a whole.
