    Should this really be an issue?

    Horrible horrible school. Horrible teachers. Giving my daughter detentions and isolation everyday for covering up her acne because she doesn't feel comfortable showing it. No full face of makeup just a little bit of concealer cover up on her forehead. Why should this stop her from learning like all the other kids? This should be seen as discrimination.

    do NOT send your child to this school!!

    From what I've heard and seen about this school, it’s horrible and does not care for students as they say they do. There is always some sort of incident including coloured pupils at the school being unfairly punished where as the non-coloured pupils get away with everything in broad daylight. Furthermore i’ve heard about a situation where a teacher told a student her dad dropped dead in front of her and to move on with the current drama she has going on with a group of girls saying that the poor child’s dad deserved to die because he had gotten with her mum when she is only slightly under his age, then for the teacher to call the parent and infer the child was lying about it to her own mother. This is school needs to be shut down or even get new teachers because theres always something happening with teachers Aka there was a teacher not long ago who got fired or left because he was a apparent “pedophile”..again i'm going off what i have been told and because i do not know this teacher personally i am not going to say its true. Again there is a new teacher who recently joined in the school who had to leave his old one for treating students badly!!! He has implemented rules such as: Having to finish all their homework in a deadline without any help… giving detentions for doing their quizzing booklet on the wrong date.. having to complete a booklet and not skipping any questions even if they 100% do not know them.. And many many more. I have also heard girls talking on the bus about how their blazers are uncomfortable and will get detention for not wearing them, getting detention for makeup, jewellery and nails!! This should not matter because a student should be able to express themselves and wearing a little bit of makeup, jewellery etc. These should not and does NOT distract or discourage them for doing work.. I’ve had my friends daughter say how uncomfortable she feels with male teachers being on toilet control as well, as it sounds harmless we never know what these young girls have been through or what goes on in their mind!!! Talking to a student herself she has said the school is so draining with the amount of bullying there is even though the school “combats” bullying, she said she wishes she never went and finds it hard to pull herself out of bed in the morning to go school and be riddled left and right by teachers for either not knowing something or getting a question wrong, I feel utterly helpless in this situation because no pupil of a school should feel like that ever in their life. My heart goes out to all the kids who deal with stuff like this in that school.

    Homeleigh park review

    so bad, literally a military camp… Just sit there for 50 minutes and listen to a teacher… Get told off for not knowing answers, struggling to concentrate, screamed at for not having homework on time or not understanding something…. Do not recommend.

    Doesn’t care child’s wellness

    Horrible school with their ridiculous strictness and policies! Only cares attendance even the child is poorly and never bothered to ask if the child is okay. Never had encountered such kind of school treatment to students.
