Holly Lodge High School College of Science

I have recently starting searching and trying to find out what I can do to help my youngest brother who attends this school. I had barely gotten started trying to find laws or understand if the police might help my brothers, when I found a review shockingly similar to my brother's case. When I tell you the school does nothing and incites both students and teachers to bully my brother, I mean to say somethings realllly wrong with this school. The issues still ongoing and the teachers seem to want to hush everything up. Recently they even brought a video to my dad about people complaining about my brother. I got goosebumps. My dad was embarrassed, but when he started talking to me. He saw my expressions and thought through some of my questions, realising that the complaint were really strange. Eventually he even had an epiphany and told me there was a video of a student saying that everyone (didn't differentiate between students and teachers) hated my brother. My dad thought it was strange for so many complaints to show up just now and realised that the students were lying along witn the teachers exaggerating about giving him detentions for throwing paper balls in class, especially when I told him some of the stuff I found out from looking for ways to solve my brother being bullying to the extent of being threatened by these student's that he'd be stabbed or beaten. I thought about the police, but I honestly don't know if they'd help or downplay my brother being bullied as a kids fight. All I can remember is that he came home crying from secondary school on the first day he attended and was crying about students bullying him and how the teachers blamed him for everything even when he was the only injured one due to it almost being the end of lunch time. He didn't talk about what happened after. Now I feel like trash and I don't know what to do. I just want some official route that I can go through to find out exactly what's happening at this school and find some sort of way to fire or give one of the bullies a reasonable punishment. None of that, we'll tell their parents to delete the video from their kids phone garbage.

Bad horrible school false accusations made to students bad staff bad all

My son attends the school and has received racist abuse and harrasment, threats of being beaten up. Avoid if possible.

Daughter got abused, hit by other students and staff didn’t seem to care apparently.

Run . This school is the most disrespectful school where teachers don’t teach nothing . (That’s from experience) . I am advising all you parents a big warning to not let your child attend here . The rules have been changed way too much to the point where kids don’t enjoy learning and really have bad mental health issues . From this , me including other students are tired of these teachers being rude for no reason with no excuse or as they like to say “it’s school rules “ . Is it school rules to treat kids so rudely as if they don’t have a voice or feelings . I am a human and I’m not going to tolerate an adult yelling at me for no reason without lettin me understand why they doing what they do. Nose piercings and ear piercings are a big issue with teachers at this school . I’ve had a nose piercing since year 7 so I’m used to ones I already have . I get infections if I put studs and I don’t want that as it’s hard to get rid of and takes years . Teachers have token nose piercings off students (girls) without there permission . No teavher has a right to touch a student without permission . Just because it is school rules doesn’t mean that you should go and do it yourself and touch the student . If you don’t have consent don’t touch the kid !!!! That’s embarrassing to be honest and I hate that this is a new r rule . I wear a religious hijab and at pe there’s multiple teachers trying to look at my ears . Who are you to move my hijab out the way to see if I’m wearing earrings . Is there a need for me to take mt earrings off if I’m wearing a hijab . Why are you looking at my ears to begin with if I’m wearing a hijab . I don’t understand why teachers think just because there’s school rules it’s okay to physically touch a student without there consent and be rude about it when they don’t explain why . Why are you even touching students like that to begin with . I’ve wore my nose ring since a long time and it’s my last few months or maybe year or could be years of this school left . I haven’t got long and I definitely haven’t got time to be taking out nose piercings when it really isn’t bothering anyone . I just hate that they never give the students a say . I respect that there’s school rules but explian them then . Don’t touch students if your not gonna explain . Honestly rude teachers are in this school and I hate that they disrespect us using really bad language but they complain when we do it bavk . I’m not going to let someone talk to me as if I’m an object n touch me like that just to see if I’m wearing piercings if IM WEARING A HIJAB!!!!! I hate this school and I hate my life because of it . End of my review but I hope no one comes here as the new head teacher is really making my head hurt a lot and making me go through things I never knew could happen .

This school is an absolute mess. The teachers do not give a toss about the children when kids are being called racist names and verbally abused, which is what happened to my daughter, my daughter then told a teacher who told her to ignore it which the girl then carried on calling her a nigg* and pa*ki & picks on her constantly pushing her and going into her face to which my daughter lashed out a few days later and pushes the girl and hits her back. My daughter then trying to mind her own business and ended up defending herself ends up getting put in indefinate isolation as Mr Newton said he believed the racist girl is scared of my daughter and my daughter is a lier, DESPITE the fact on one occasion he overheard the same group of girls rushing around trying to find my daughter telling every pupil there going to batter her and the teachers had to bring her back down to reception area to call her parents to get her so she doesnt catch up to my daughter. The fact i told the teacher about the bullying before they couldve done something when first told that the racism was occuring. Now my child comes out at the end of the 2nd day in isolation which is 20mins after the rest of the school finish, these girls friends were all waiting for my daughter and then jumped her after school with nobody else there. Apart from a group of boys who enjoyed the “entertainment” she was jumped by this girls mates and despite me constantly telling the school theres a problem with bullying, with racism. I would NEVER ever recommend this school. Unless you want your children beaten up, put all over social media, not listened to in regards to struggling with work told to just get on with it when asking for extra support. Then do not send your children holly lodge my mom works in a school and both my mom and her collegues have said they do not know how they have not failed their ofsted.

THIS SCHOOL IS TERRIBLE THE FOOD IS VERY FLAVOURLESS AND SOMETIMES NOT COOKED PROPERLY SO PLEASE BRING ADULTS WHO CAN ACTUALLY COOK PROPERLYAND ENSURE NO ONE GETS POISONED. TEACHERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT STUDENTS THEY DONT LISTEN TO ANY PROBLEMS. THE LESSONS ARE NOT TAUGHT WELL ALL THEY DO IS PUT POWERPOINTS ON THE BOARD AND TELL US TO COPY IT DOWN AS IF THAT WILL HELP ANYONE. SOME TEACHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF SKIRTS WHEN THERE ARE OTHER THINGS PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH LIKE DEPRESSION ETC. SCHOOLS NEED TO BE SAFE FOR STUDENTS AND NOT FOR THEM TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.

First of all, the food is terrible so bring a packed lunch. There is no seasoning whatsoever either. The teachers can come across as rude, and there is homophobia wherever you look. Homophobia is bad enough from kids, but teachers? Bullying is common and so are fights. The teachers dont have the capability to stop them. The education is terrible- I used to get 90% as a minimum in everything but now i barely get 30%. Every time i go into a lesson, I understand nothing- the way of teaching is to show PowerPoints and give some worksheets. We learn nothing. This is clear in the average grades on the gov website- below average. Vaping and drugs are common- 11 year olds vaping, does that not concern you?! The teachers don't care about your wellbeing they care more about your skirt length and jewellery. A few teachers have pointed out my skirt in a disturbing way that made me feel very uncomfortable. "Boys will stare at you" We are minors, nobody should be looking at my body in a way like that. Some teachers have no control over their classes,and everyone messes about, throwing paper and even chairs around- if a teacher cant control a class whats the point in teaching? Our mental health is disregarded and most of us are struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide but it seems like it doesn't matter to them. Unless you want your child to fail in life, please do not consider this school.
