Heathside School

This school is the definition of survival of the fittest and elitism. If your a set 1 or set 2 (maybe set 3) then your life will be fine there but if your set 4 and needs LSA then your life will be misrable and your already finished before you even set foot in the door. Bullying is out of control and this school seems to approve of bullying as I can even remember my head of year( this was years ago so cannot remember the date) "it's a chance for the set 1+2's to take their fustrastion out on the weaker students". Teachers will lie non stop and when they do trip up and their lies are exposed they will not apologise. I remember being suspended for a week for something I didn't do and then when the culprit did own up to it I was forced to apologise for his lies and take the wrap as the teachers couldn't be seen being wrong. I was threatend to do this. I refused so got punished for being innocent. LSA students are highly discriminated. The bullying got so bad that I was actually being punished for being bullied and then got told to just take it as they couldn't deal with it. I was pulled out in year 9 as things got so bad with the bullying from both students and teachers (yes teachers) then they said I had to come back. Safe to say I didn't return and was so happy I never had to go back. This school should be closed down and the teachers brought before the courts. Giving them 1 star is too high in my mind.

The Head of Maths, S. Noble, is the worst leader I have ever encountered. He is both ineffectual and extremely arrogant. A new senior leadership team is needed, and the Head of Maths should be removed, as he recruits the worst teachers while the good ones leave. It is unfair to our children.

Relentlessly bullied by staff. Had my headphones stolen by the IT teacher. They locked me in a room when I was crying because they couldn't be bothered to deal with me. Treated me awfully and I'm still in therapy 4 years on. Don't go, you'll end up scarred like the rest of us.
