Haydon School Review - A Candid Perspective
Haydon School Review: A Candid Perspective
I have been a student at Haydon School for almost four years now, and it's time to share my honest thoughts on the overall experience.
1. Canteen Atmosphere:
The canteen experience at Haydon is far from ideal. It seems to be dominated by Year 7 and 8 students, creating an uncomfortable environment for older students. The lack of suitable seating, especially during winter when it's too cold outside, has led me to skip meals at school altogether.
Yet they have so much outdoor space in the field, they can't even build an extra canteen out there with a path leading to it.
2. Decline in Education Quality:
Over the past 5-7 years, there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of education provided at Haydon School. The teaching standards seem to have suffered, impacting the overall learning experience.
3. Student Culture:
A significant portion of the student body displays ignorance, with a refusal to adhere to decent and modest clothing standards. The way some students come into school is really indecent, contributing to an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment. Swearing has become a pervasive issue, permeating every corridor and normal conversation.
4. Lack of Future Focus:
Many students at Haydon School seem apathetic towards their future. While expressing a desire for a successful life, a substantial number fail to put in the necessary effort during this crucial stage of their education.
5. Teacher Engagement:
Frequent use of substitute teachers and some teachers' inability to communicate effectively hinder the learning process. Some educators assume a one-size-fits-all approach, neglecting to ensure that students grasp the foundational aspects of a topic.
6. Environmental Issues:
Litter is a pervasive problem throughout the school, detracting from the overall aesthetic and creating an unwelcoming atmosphere.
7. Student Behavior:
A sense of entitlement among students is evident, manifesting in arrogant behavior, corridor disruptions, and unnecessary fights for the sake of popularity. This undermines the positive learning environment the school should foster.
8. Financial Struggles:
Haydon School's financial situation is concerning. Reports indicate that the school is almost broke, and there are claims that, in some instances, substitute teachers received higher compensation than the regular teaching staff. This financial strain could be contributing to various issues within the school.
9. Focus on Values and Education:
Haydon School appears to lack a comprehensive program to instill values and essential life skills in students. There is a need for a more proactive approach in teaching students how to learn effectively, manage time wisely, and prioritize health and fitness over less constructive activities—examples of such unproductive activities include mindlessly scrolling through TikTok for hours, neglecting the valuable time of their youth.
10. Learning System and Technology:
While the learning system is organized, there are concerns about the abrupt transitions between topics and the substantial amount of time spent on maintaining discipline in the classroom. Additionally, the requirement for students to spend £400 on a Chromebook with 4GB RAM and 64GB SSD raises questions about the value for money and whether the investment is justified by the features provided.
In conclusion, Haydon School has its challenges, ranging from the social atmosphere to educational quality. A holistic approach that addresses these issues, including the financial concerns, could significantly enhance the overall student experience and better prepare students for their future endeavors.

Haydon school is gay
Come here if you want to be beaten up for being different!!! ;)
Horrible teachers and students.
I DO NOT like this school, the people push, hit, smack, punch, kick, claw, headlock you. I reported it once because my friend was getting spat on and robbed and the teachers did nothing. I've been robbed so many times at this school. They really need to fix it.
it’s a very bad school
it’s a terrible school my daughter got her bag chucked in the bin by a teacher and my son got a book thrown at him my son got started on at the school and they ended up fighting the boy started it by strangling my son and then got away with it while my som got kicked out the teachers bully the kids and are very nasty
Pussio
fuck haydon fam
haydon can suck my dick and dat
An okay school students are bad thogh
Bad school foods alright but people are rlly bad and teachers especially, im annoyed at the way they treat bullies and rude students
Bad school
It's a horrible school with horrible children the teachers do not do anything about bullying or serious matters the bullying is really bad in haydon the amount of disrespect and in half the lessons you don't do anything the students are horrific and inappropriate the school itself it's very filthy and dirty and teaching is bad
Haydon Sixth Form PDA Issue
I started Year 12 this chaotic September and cannot stress how much myself and others have been disturbed by the horrific and awkward sights of PDA in the Common Room. Now I’m all for teenagers experiencing things and whatnot, but the PDA has to stop. It’s school. Society has progressed past the need for horniness and there’s no reason as to why adolescents between the ages of 16-18 can’t keep their hands to themselves in school. With the Coronavirus pandemic still going on, it’s very risky to be doing these deeds in the school, as a mega virus mixed with STDs could mutate or whatever. This is an issue that must be addressed, teachers cannot go on turning a blind eye. Imagine how it feels trying to do work or just relax in the Common Room (especially since the Study Room was shut), to then see students engaging in PDA. It’s weird, gross, traumatic and kinda tacky. And when I say PDA… I don’t just mean kissing.
This then brings me to another issue that Haydon is clearly ignoring, polygamy. Again, I’m all for teenagers experiencing things, but this is school. It’s already hard enough trying to ignore a couple engaging in PDA, but imagine a thruple. My innocent eyes cannot handle this visual abuse anymore. And I don’t want to name and shame, because that wouldn’t be a productive way to end the PDA and in-school polygamy. However, there’s a limit, and certain Haydon students have exceeded this limit.
I hope Haydon School staff see this message and counteract this issue.

Haydon suck ur muddah
Mums life this school gave me literal cancer. Big boy jones is always eying my dick and saying “scuse me, tuck ur shirt in” but bmt the guys who created dis school go suck ur muddah and headbutt ur dad cuz this school was the breeding ground for aids kmt. If the teachers r reading this, Fuck u Mr Jones, fuck u miss Mitchell, fuck u mr gooch, suck ur mum Mr Addison more time u live with ur sister and have depression cuz u teach teenagers how to play ping pong and how our bodies digestive system works. In conclusion fuck all the teachers that signed up to teach at this disgusting school, if haydon was a food it would be the most unseasoned marmite sandwich on the face of earth. But big up the students that attend here, our tolerance for bullshit is different una. 3Sr 3e1 3dottX 3stan0 3Nsav 3 all the mandem fuck the opps. Fuck the 5.

the teachers are absolutely useless, such as a half blind geography teacher, pervy pe teachers, ancient english teachers, and imcompotent tech teachers. minus the gems that leave after a few months of not being able to put up with the students, of course. (still miss you, miss j.a.) the food is unhealthy and greasy, overpriced as hell and possibly not up to the greatest health standards. (i shouldnt have to pick hair out of my panini, man.)
students pick fights for popularity, have no regard for their own safety and often smoke nicotene or use nicotene patches in the bathrooms, which are in the most aweful state imaginable. think missing doors, no toilet paper, blocked toilets and flooding sinks, graffiti and discarded wrappers along with overflowing bins.
pupils are rude and act entitled towards teachers and show no respect to them or other students. teachers have never once stepped in for a verbal fight between two students in their classroom in my four years of being here. ive had kids call me every slur under the sun infront of a teacher and the teacher just shrugging at me, then that same teacher complemeting the same student's velvety blue handbag (that's against dress code) that same day.
the dress code is ridiculous. a wide handfull of pupils do not follow the dress code at all, showing up in butt-high skirts, then having full blown shouting arguments with teachers when asked to roll them down. boys sag to their knees and nothing is said. like, im trying to learn pythagoras theorem and blud has a bloody full moon infront of me. we've had a whole assembly on teachers complaining about seeing up their skirts for crying out loud, and a brave soul quite literally piped up that they should be looking up there anyways.
tiny canteen for the amount of pupils there and a MASSIVE FIELD that is barely used...to make it absolutley bloody obvious, MAKE ANOTHER BUILDING. or, ADD MORE OUTDOOR SEATING
that brings me swiftly onto the next topic: money.
haydon is pretty damn near broke. theyre raising prices on their already overpriced food, having teaching strikes, and running out of resources.
set up some funraisers man
that glides perfectly onto: extracurriculars.
not many non sports options, and if you DID want sports, congrats, because theres one sport per day. only one to pick from. one. one sport. yayyyy
