    Review of the school

    O, heavy burden! The citadel of learning doth languish under the tyrant’s yoke of statute and stern decree. Vows, like ghosts of vapor, vanish in the morn, and noble designs are stifled in their cradle. The scholars cry out in bitter anguish, yet their pleas fall upon deafened ears, lost unto the uncaring winds. 'Tis a tragedy most profound, where the hopes of youth lie buried beneath the cold stone of indifference. Alas, poor souls! Alas!

    No respect

    I am a student who struggles a lot with their mental health and I feel unsupported, threatend and unwelcomed in an environment that is supposed to be a safe place for everyone. The headteacher is causing chaos amongst neurodivergent students by changing all of the rules which can cause overwhelming stress in neurodivergent pupils. Do not attend this school. Im warning you.

    Reckless.

    Absolutely reckless, teachers do not Take serious action when needed. I know someone who’s been bullied and all the teachers actually do is either put them in isolation or even suspension which in my opinion I think more serious action should be taken such as leading to expelling. I also know someone who’s actually been screamed at in the face for being at the front of the line. These teachers really need to up their game otherwise there will be no school to work at. The outdoor environment is f...

    just not good

    the schools awful and dont support people with poor mental health and attendance. nothing to do at lunch or break, strict on appearance not allowed earrings, bracelets etc. teachers are not likeable, attendance officers also ridiculous and harass you ridiculous standards and expectations just awful save yourself progress leaders not empathetic so if your child struggles with mental health or mental disabilities/illness i dont reccomend this school.

    mother of child at this school

    this school has provided no food for my child I expect my child to go school and eat and if there is no food left I expect teachers to at least provide something else for them to eat and not starve. I have teachers telling my child to take out piercings ( tiny studs )when they have a full face of piercings. They say it’s “school policy” and that they should take it out. My child told me teachers have rudely asked to take the piercings out but if they asked in a polite , understanding way why would we have this problem? Teachers are absolute hypocrites at this school and I believe everyone should be equal so if teachers have piercings in so will my child. MAKE MORE FOOD FOR CHILDREN SO THEY DONT STARVE!

    Pupils are reckless and teachers do not take it seriously

    This is a pretty bad school. The teachers depends, some can be good and bad. Pupils are reckless and teachers do not take it seriously and do not take action until it gets very bad the most they can do is give out detention which do little to nothing and pupils carry on. Overall I do not recommend this school and that teachers should be more serious and stricter and start expelling people.

    hell on earth?

    the students are so rude to people who don’t act like them, or are shy. teachers and staff just let it happen. especially when situations take place right under their noses, it’s ridiculous. its always “anti-bullying” but really they make it sound like its more important to them than it ever really was.

    Hillside High School

    The school is okay. The lessons are normal but the activities at break and lunch there is nothing. The food is ok but only serves either takeaway or sandwiches and wraps. I still enjoy the school and enjoy coming the people and teachers are very friendly
