Terrible
I havent started but here is what i think
I have not started this school but It does not sound like a bad school. My brothers go here and they say its brilliant! I'm super excited! Im perplexed for why people hate this school. I hope i have a brilliant time here!
Holy Calamity
Not really what I expected when my child started here.
Impositions are handed out like confetti. Winter time the school play areas are like a swamp..(Although I think they are doing something about it this year). Time outs are supposed to be maximum of two minutes and they can be much longer. No lockers for kids. Dinner time 11am!! , and only 30 minutes. Some teachers don't listen to the kids side of things which breaks their code of conduct. Homework is just sent out on an app. Impositions are sent out by email with such headings as "Defiance, aggressive behavior". Makes you think they are talking about a massive problem kid.. Then you will get more messages about positive behaviour!! Absolutely over the top. If they can't give detail in the email then don't bother sending them.. Reports are overly complicated. I just want a personal note from the teacher talking about their progress and the next steps to improve and move on. I don't want to look at one heading.See the number or letter then have to look up what it means.
Then the other pet hate, under a teachers name on their emails you may find she/her written or they/them. Who cares what they identify themselves as.. Absolutely "the world has gone mad" syndrome..
Maybe all schools are like this, but they want to turn your kids out as robots. No independent personalities. Pink Floyd had it right with "another brick in the wall" video.
I spoke to my neighbour who has a daughter attending Holy Trinity, she told her mother that the school is not good. The neighbour is now going to send her next two kids into another school.
I had heard so many bad things about Thomas Bennet school I applied for Holy Trinity and Saint Wilfreds. I pity my child going through this education system.

Do not go
You are delayed in getting the mental help you need. The teachers don't take your learning seriously, there are a lack of experienced teachers who know how to teach. Some of the rules are stupid, but the students are even worse.
Could be better
The schools pretty good but its just the students that ruin it and the school dont do a lot about it
horrible. hate it
i really really hate this school... the teachers are ignorant and shouts a lot... they want you to open up about something that’s private but ends up telling other teachers and our parents as well. the teachers are strict thats why the students act like that but they don’t do anything but say its fine or they just ignore you..... i hate this and i wish i could move school or not go at all.. it’s making my anxiety bad
Bad school
Lots of kids are caught with weed and classrooms are always messy and need refurbished
This school sucks
I hate this school. Its old, its teachers ignore any poor behaviour and ignore good behaviour as well. They are rude and try and force you to do things you don't want to do. The schools one way system makes everything harder to do and makes your life more difficult. Im leaving this school as soon as I can and I would recommend everyone else to as well. People have already started leaving because of how it is there. Its like a prison.
Bullying
I hate it here. Everybody is horrible to eachother and half the people are depressed but nothing is done to help them. I’ve skipped school because going there really brings me down and makes me with I wasn’t here.
Would highly recommend this fantastic school.
Would definitely recoomend this school. Absolutely amazing, has a wonderful welcome and homely feel. The old buildings may put some people off but once you properly experience the school its fantastic in all senses. The staff are so helpful and understanding. The school is very good at dealing with unexeptable behaviour in an organised and professional manner. Any student who is able to study here is lucky and privilleged. Personally i believe that this school is much better than the alternate secondary options in the area.

The bullying and fighting at this school is outrageous, fights every day and nothing happens with the teachers.
The teachers never deal with badly behaved students and there are only a few nice teachers at this school.
If you consider sending your children to this school.
DONT you will regret it if you do.
