Heworth Grange School

People in positions of responsibility should remeber they are MENTORS to our youth . Anything for an easier time in school rather than trying to influence pupils through trust - confidence building - Listening intently . Arrogance has been experienced by many a parent never mind pupils which is a shame because at this age mentors are so influential to pupils direction in life

This school is amazing we all have such amazing opitonitys and every one has such a great time there are 0 bully teachers are so nice and kind i recommend coming here just dont go near mr seils he stinks

Good food. Nice Teachers. Lessons are ok

This school is absolutely rubbish there staffs r racist n my daughter almost got suspended for a teachers mi's hearing when I confronted her HOY abt this he said he could only believe the teacher n that they r only there to support the teacher. My daughter also gets separated from white people when talking instead of js giving a warning on the same day my daughter almost got suspended I confronted him abt this but he said the same thing AM SORRY MA'AM BUH PLS LET'S JS FOCUS ON WHAT HAPPENED PRESENTLY

This is school is terrible. School bathrooms stink and bathroom floors are covered in toilet water. Toilet bins are overflowing with rubbish (pads , tissues , etc) and toilet seats are sometimes covered in piss as we have to share with the boys. Toilet doors and walls are covered in offensive writing (slurs , insults , etc). Teachers abuse the warning system (giving out negatives and warnings for little to no reason) and treat pupils unfairly (basically creating islands between pupils they like and dislike , especially the PE teachers). Hallways are small /narrow so they get packed easily. Stairways are small and narrow which is quite dangerous when over 30 kids are going down them at a time. Even if your sick they won't send you home , as the schools attendance is really bad , leaving unwell children making other children sick. Reflection can be a dehumanising experience as you just sit there in silence , sitting Infront of a carved up dirty plastic desk in a white room with the blinds down. I got reflection and 1 hours detention for "hiding in the toilets" even though I explained to them that I was on my period (I had a very painful period) and that I felt dizzy (like I was gonna pass out) and sick , so I was sitting in the toilets waiting for my mam to come pick me up. Instead I was greeted with banging on the toilet door then brought up to reflection. After reflection I tried to go home but they told me to "soldier on". I kept losing my balance for the rest of the day and felt like I was on the verge of throwing up. They didn't notify my parents that I had a detention so my parents did not know I had one and neither did I because why would you punish someone for being sick?? The day before that happend I was sent up to reflection by one of the PE teachers for "refusing to do PE". I couldn't do PE because I was on my (painful and sickly) period and I have something wrong with my knees (wonky) so it usually hurts to run , jump , etc. Plus I have flat feet , asthma and weak ankles. According to the PE teacher I refused to get changed for PE (I don't do PE) even though I didn't "refuse" I just told them "I don't do PE miss" and I was told to go to reflection so I did. That same teacher treated one of my friends unfairly as , for some reason , they didn't like her. She was told to swap seats with a guy who had been causing trouble in the classroom. Just so you know there was literally an empty seat next to her and all over the classroom as it isn't a big class , also me her and other friends were all sitting together so she didn't want to be the only one sitting alone. ( C1 , C2 , etc are warning/ negatives) She asked the teacher "What have I done?" And she got a C1. She moved but forgot her bag so she got up to get it , C2. Then she asked the teacher again "what have I done? I was just getting my bag" , C3. Then later on in the lesson she said yippee , not even loud it was a whisper and got sent out. She had an hour detention the next day. Bearing in mind there were people throwing books and chasing people across the classroom but they didn't get a warning. The teacher then made a new "seating plan" and the only person in the classroom who had moved was my friend. Basically creating islands which the school is supposed to be against. If you need mental health support or support in general you can either stay in Pistop all day and not get a proper education or go to your lesson without support. You don't really do work or get help with work in Pitstop which is why loads of kids go there everyday. I love pitstop but have been taking off the list and can only go on a Thursday. I need Pitstop as I have Misophonia and probably have undaignosed mental problems but can't go. I used to go in year 8 to escape the noisy classroom but now I have to choose between skipping the lesson or going to the lesson and coming out of it with teary eyes. You have to be really careful about what you say in school. Confronting someone or saying one little thing can get you jumped or bullied. Most pupils have a very big ego and are so full of themselves that it really annoys me. But most kids are not from good places as this school basically accepts the ones that couldn't get in anywhere else. It's full of council home kids , fatherless kids , lots of special needs kids , etc. So the place is basically a hell hole filled with all the unwanted people. Not many places to sit at lunch time. For some odd reason they unscrew caps off of the bottles before giving them to students?? Like bro why??? That's probably the reason there's so many spillages. Meat sauce is terrible with the pasta. Chicken burgers are either overly the top spicy or no spice at all. At least the food is alot less stale than it was in year 7 (I'm a year 9). 4/10. I could say so much more but I've already wrote alot and my fingers are starting to hurt.

The school is rubbish the staff have no control over the kids and are rubbish when dealing with discrimination and racism and kids being bullied

Bullying is rife, the teachers are worse than useless and Head master is inept.

It’s the best school ever

It’s a good school I agree the foods are good But the teachers expect you to respect them but they don’t respect you back am not saying all teachers does that but some of them do now am not gonna name any but They are rude impolite They won’t let you talk You say one word They will say YOU ARE ARGUING go to BSC if the teachers changed that would be a Hole different story over all I rate this a 2 star because of how rude and impolite some teachers are

Bad school wver need to improve on safety as they did leave the back gates open without a lock huge safeguarding issue do not coke to this school the teachers need to improve as well.

Bloody horrible I would rather eat 7 batteries and 2 light posts than go to this school. if anything they make mental health worse

Actual utter shit I'm on the verge of my mental state being no more with the people at this school

It’s okay. Some of the teachers are amazing while others are really bad and annoying. The kids are really annoying and badly behaved and the school doesn’t really do much about it. Wouldn’t recommend.

absolutely awful i despise it, absolute uncooked chicken burger

load of rubbish students are racist as and the minority of people there are actually nice people wish it was different and the racism and homophobic slurs got dealt with properly but they dont
