great school it’s amazing
Some teachers are good and help them and talk to them and teach them normally even though there’s bad students they resolve the situations quite quickly
Review of haygrove
I mean I hangout in the hall with my friends but for some reason we get kicked out because there's no adult in there idk why and the teachers can be strict but some are nice
Haygrove school review
They teach pretty well but some teachers are the worst, my computing teacher gives warnings for no reason and we all think one teacher is a pedo nobody trusts him
don’t put ur child in this school
school that doesn’t have any regards for pupils with mental health issues and only cares about its reputation of being a good school (which they are failing at) teachers are nice but only care about the imagery of the school and the on paper statistics.
Bullying is rife at Haygrove
I have had 3 children attend Haygrove. One of them is the easiest child in the world, and has sailed through, helped by a school that is solid as long as you're a model student. The other 2 children have had issues with bullying, which Haygrove has been consistently poor at dealing with. Haygrove prides itself as being the best school in Bridgwater, but it's rife with bullying which they're unable to get a handle on.
Avoid at all costs
Haygrove is just a school full of bullies, I have just finished in may 2021 and the teachers wouldn’t do anything to help children. The only thing they were focused on was trying to get the bad students good. A girl touched a boy inappropriately (I’m a girl myself and I am defending the boy in this situation) and the boy got isolation for it. The girl didn’t! They didn’t want to listen to both sides of the story. I broke down once and all they said was to go to another class to calm down. They didn’t get anybody to speak to me or nothing. I was going through a rough patch during my every day life and felt like something bad was going to happen that I was thinking of. They did nothing I got no help or anything. They never even noticed my anxiety. When it came to speaking or exams etc I would freeze and wouldn’t help me. Now it’s the worst it’s been and I don’t know how to control it.

former student
absolutely no regard for students mental health, it took until I was very ill for them to put me into a terrible councilloring system (she was nice tho) and then refer me to cahms. only worried about grades and will constantly remind you that your only worth is grades.
Stay away at all costs
If I could give this school no stars, I would.
Let’s put aside the “one size fits all” problem which seems to be just the way the educational system is throughout U.K. secondary schools which Haygrove is definitely not exempt from.
I was unfortunate enough to end up with ******* ***** as my head of year. The*** has absolutely no idea how to converse with pupils and clearly enjoyed using the method of intimidation to get his way and that fat oaf Hellier was no different.
If your parents went to the school previously and some of the older teachers knew them you had a far better chance of getting on. Haygrove was only ever concerned about their image and grades. As someone else mentioned about pupils with autism being targeted, this is something I saw a great deal of in my year. I myself experienced a great deal of bullying because I was quieter than most, because I didn’t come from an affluent background and didn’t fit their one size fits all culture I fell between the cracks and continued to stay there until I left, often taken out of lessons to go play scrabble with learning support assistants. What an absolute joke. Any reports of bullying fell totally on deaf ears. This school and its employees failed me and others around me immeasurably.

Terrible
Oh mate this place is a shambles full of nasty teachers who don’t wanna help and who bully you if you get bad grades
DO NOT GO
TERRIBLE! I was bullied by kids and teachers and no one did anything. I have autism and other special needs and no help was provided. They tried to get rid of me and I was locked in a cupboard. DO NOT RECOMMEND ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM.
haygrove
i came out with good grades however the teachers are more focused on trying to turn the bad students good and giving them sweets and treats for staying in lesson and neglecting the students who actually try hard in lessons
if you aren’t either incredibly naughty or incredibly smart you won’t get any attention off the teachers
one boy beat up another who had recently recovered from a brain tumour and wasn’t even permanently excluded!!
