Corruption at this school will not be tolerated
My sister is currently at the school and while I am not her parent, I am still deeply concerned and I might have to start investigating myself and see for myself. Something is not right there. My sister is getting constant detentions and punished for pointless unnecessary lack of reasoning. The dinners are apparently awful and hardly edible and they are not allowed to go out for dinner elsewhere so unless its pack lunch, theres no other choice. I believe they only even get 30 minutes of dinner t...

Well bad
Hessle High School is the worst school especially one perticular teacher. This teacher gave me detention for not being in school for an invalid reason. I was at my nans funeral. So my dad called and told him i wont be goin. (the teacher didnt answer and called back the next day) He then called my dad (whos mum just died) and told him to check his attitude.

Tragic.
Depressing. DEPRESSINGGGG. THE TEACHERS. THE STUDENTS, THE FOOD. They leave u outside limed up for half an hour in the winter, the food is rock hard and u usually get it thrown at u by other students. If ur ill they try to keep u in, as if u don't know ur ill. Was lowk bullied. The toilets have no privacy, because i was quiet teachers felt like it was an accomplishment to tell me off. Too strict on phones. Got detentions for nothing. Was being elbowed by a student in class and the teacher REFUSE...

bad staff
i was assaulted by a member of staff during my time at this school as i was aggressively pushed in my back and this situation is currently going under investigation and when telling a member of leadership department I was laughed at by both the head of year who assaulted me and the senior member ship team member which this is an unactaptable thing to do after I have been aggressively pushed in my upper back by a member of staff out of anger due to event prior people should be aware who the staff at this school actually are and the staff member who has done this a day prior is still walking around the school and teaching which seems as if the investigation is not being taken seriously

Please don't bring your kids here.
I used to come to this school about 2 years ago, I'm at Hull college now and I'm glad I no longer come here. It was unpleasant to be at Hessle high. Everything about the experience of going there was awful. Please do not send your kids there, especially if they suffer from mental illnesses and/or are neurodivergent, as a mentally ill neurodivergent person myself I struggled going and barely went there, the students there or at least in my year group were awful. I met a few people who ended up bu...

do NOT go here
i hate this school the staff treat their students horrible: they always want to be in the right. they pretend to care about them, but really, that's just for reputation i started the school so excited, and now my mental health is horrible. i have been bullied, sexually harassed, discriminated and no one fucking cares in this building . the other students laugh it off, the staff don't give a single shit. this school deserves hell this education system has failed me

Absolute crap school
Personally hate this school. They don't solve bullying, cant go to the toilet, cant have jewellery, unnecessary assembly's. The school toilets have no doors which feels like there is no trust or privacy in the school. I dread going in every day, the days just get longer and longer. The school food in the canteen is sickening. Its usually rock hard or its undercooked. The school teaches cooking yet cant even make a decent meal for students. It feels like a relief when you get that one teacher that is just decent, lets you go to the toilet and cares in the slightest bit. The students are just as bad but I see why. We have no freedom and it feels like we are forced to work for something that might not even help our futures anymore. They lack supply and fill the school with too many students for the small hallways. You get squashed down the corridors, not good for claustrophobia. I hate it. It feels like a concentration camp. Keeping friends gets harder but we are all going through all of this and its rubbish. It honestly couldn't be worse. Surprised I'm not depressed yet honestly.

Hessle High School
We only have one medical personnel in the whole school. The only mental health area gets used for GCSE’s so people can’t go in there for a couple weeks. The food is either rock hard or undercooked. I started hessle high school positively and now I’m scared to go in. I don’t like my classmates. I’ve been harassed by them over my appearance and sexuality yet the teachers haven’t done anything. It also takes forever for students to get out at a fire drill as they don’t let you use certain staircases even if it’s a faster way. There is barely any air con so in the summer students are boiling

bit rubbish
bit rubbish really, could be worse, could be sirius or boulevard lol, but a bit too many chavs really, and there are never any school trips or anything like that, n they pretend to be poor so the science and arts departments have to struggle for equipment and the maths department never has glue, but the pe people get everything they need and more? super weird. uniform policy is a load of rubbish too, my skirt was way times longer than most of the other girls’ and i still got told off for it bein...
