    School needs to be closed down or deeply reevaluated

    Tried emailing and calling the school but had no luck. They prefer to talk to the students rather than parents/guardians, which comes across as very unprofessional. They wouldn’t let my student pick her desired GCSE subjects and wouldn’t let her change it. They seem to be a lot more focused on the uniform rather than the education which is absurd to me, because how is the yellow thread on DocMartens frowned upon, it’s a thread for crying out loud!! This school is honestly terrible, please save y...

    CHILD ABUSERS

    Year 5 & 6 parents, id reconsider your child’s secondary school. Harper Green school, is not the one. That’s unless you’re okay with them using food as a form of punishment. Yes that’s right they will take away your child’s basic human right to have a lunch, if they are late!! Teachers think this is acceptable because it’s in harper green school policy. Yet they’d soon be punishing your child further, if students wernt working to their standards in class, given that food is fuel!! Child abuser...

    Worst school ever!!!

    Alot of the teachers will speak to you in a horrible way, they say they're all about mental health but in reality they pick favourites and focus on them (either popular kids or smart kids the rest of us are left to struggle) they make you feel stupid and little if you dont know something and will say stuff like "its common sense" well its not is it mate because its stuff you're meant to teach us. Strict rules and it is extremely unhygienic. Lots of people say the teachers make their issues feel...

    HONEST HARPER GREEN SCHOOL REVIEW!

    So bad, probably the worst school in history to be honest. The teachers dont help and aren't friendly, neither are the students/pupils or any other staff. Honestly, people aren't wrong when they say this is a terrible school but there is some wrong which is that it is more than just terrible. Bad education, rules, everything. Most the students break all the rules and nobody even says anything, the staff and teachers dont care, they don't give one whatsoever. The good pupils dont even get rewarded for being good but all the bad kids get rewarded all the time for doing bad constantly. The food is off, expired everyday and the lunch ladies are the worst, they have no respect whatsoever for anything, like we as students literally pay them and they dont even care, most of the time they just reject from serving food. The year team says that they will always be there for you and help you but never ever do, you will be so brave so finally open up to them and they just ignore it fully or start screaming at you in front of the entire year group. They dont even trust us in the toilets, they take our bags before going in and all the toilet and sinks are broken which never get fixed, like ever, the bulling never stops so dont even bother asking about it and they steal everything from students without guilt or any regret without even asking the pupil if they could take it or not, they do whatever they want! Without doubt, the worst school in history of schools. AND THIS IS 100% THE TRUTH, coming from a student who has been here for their whole high school life.

    please don’t put your child through it

    I am a former student from many years ago when this school was very good. I sent my daughter and son, my daughters experience was ok, my sons was terrible, they accused him of stealing a coat when he arrived to school in a new coat! actually rang his dad to check if we had a receipt! which of course we did, they put him isolation for not having a pen, then didn’t give him any work to do, they constantly spoke down to him, i went in for several meetings and when i challenged their behaviour towards my son i got ignored, after every meeting you get a copy of the notes, that are incorrect as it only states what they have said. I have 2 more sons which i refused to allow them to even apply for harper green. Very disappointing how bad the school has declined, teachers, especially senior teachers are rude, condescending and bullies.

    Shocking school !!

    Absolutely shocking school no communication between teachers and parents. If your child is naughty they remove the privilege of your child getting there dinner! Unless you complain then they have to be escorted by a teacher. Actually shocking do not send your child to this school

    Do not send your children here, ex student

    This school caused me a lot of mental health problems that I never got over. The teachers are bullies and referred to my sister as fat to my face, I was physically dragged back onto school property on my way home because I had my coat on and it was “against the rules”. I was publicly humiliated on a daily basis in front of my peers by being forced to prove that I wasn’t wearing foundation to cover my spots, even when i hadn’t I would have to stand in front of my class and scrub at my face with a...

    Harper green school is a great school

    Harper green school is a Great school. However, some students misbehave, which was pretty annoying but most students are well-behaved and well-mannered. The way that harper green manages with miss behaved students is brilliant, they do not tolerate kids that misbehave. The teacher's work is consistent, their effort is fantastic, also very supportive and they are always open to help you when you're stuck. Harpergreen school evolved a lot in the past 5 years. I was a student at harper green school and I've grown into a determined hard worker. Before I left harper green I never really understood the WE ARE HARPER VALUES. But that quickly changed at my leaver's assembly, harper green doesn't only teach u how to do mathetics and meaning being a Shakespeare quote, they teach you how to cope with life when it gets hard, and that we, we as harper green students should be resilient and not give up.

    Bad school.

    This school tends to care more about their image than the welfare of their students.

    No, I did not see the teachers have much interest in the subjects they teach and in the students they teach.
