Hindley High School

Absolutely awful school. Teachers are as bad for bullying as the kids are. Keep your. children away from this shambles of a ‘school’. Students are sent out of classes for asking questions. The teachers just don’t care

The learning is different depending on the teacher you get, certain teachers that have been at the school for longer periods of time have terrible ways of explaining subjects/topics. EG. we had a test a while back and none passed, one of the teachers who tought us the topics disregarded his way of teaching an issue as a factor on why no one passed. They couldnt understand that it wasnt entirely the students faults for not revising, if the highest mark on a test is 15/50 there is a bigger issue then revising. As the school changed to an outwood academy many people distrupt lessons taking away 10-15 each lesson. Many of the students are disrespectful and dont get any form of punishment. The school meals are terrible with out of the five school days there is only 1-2 meals that everyone likes, on certain days you will spend 10 minutes out of the 30 minute lunch queueing for there to be no food left at all. The school has also started having teachers watching over the lines so no one pushes in, this is a complete failure as teachers watch people push in and if you say anything to them they will shrugg it off. Many teachers also push in the lines at the front taking the last meal, if a student did this the teachers would be giving you a detention.

This is. a parent writing this just trust me don’t listen to anything them teachers say

I got bullied and I told teachers they didnt listen they out u down all the time don’t let u go toilet one teacher was saying to students there a waste of space they man handle u they are horrible and they lie they cut the ctv they say students first all they care about is ur uniform and attendance I cracked my head open they put a plaster on it the plaster fell of bc of the amount of blood that was pouring out and they give me a ice pack I had a banging head bc off it they wouldn’t even ring home for pain killers it really is a bad skl I wouldn’t recommend sending ur kids there

Caused me years of depression, anxiety and trauma as a disabled kid with anxiety :/

The worst school ever. The teachers are lazy, and they’re pushovers. All I have learned so far is from myself, and I’m moving to Year 11. They don’t set hard enough work, and it feels they’re not really pushing our potential. They are no human compassion, especially the school nurses, they just laughed when I needed help as I felt and have been sick. I broke my hand at the high school, and the handling was poor. They did not send my home as they did not think that my pain was real. It turns out that I broke 11 bones in my hand, and it swelled 3x the size of my normal hand, and they couldn’t tell the difference. They care too much on attendance and their reputation rather than the students. Some teachers are nice, and are good teachers like my English and Spanish teachers. They actually care and I generally had good experiences in those subjects. The main problem in this school is the leadership, they lack empathy and only in it for the money. However a positive is the handling of bullying which the teachers usually notice first, not SLT. If they find out that I wrote this, they’ll probably give my detention/expelled for calling out their hypocrisy and the negatives in their school.
