Honley High School

I get death threats everyday, the teachers are really strict.. and a lot of the teachers need to keep their eyes up.. not down. I literally got a detention for wearing trainers!! But it was for a medical reason. I hate all the teachers. I don’t even wanna begin to talk about what happens in A3 when nobody is watching. And I don’t want to sound too picky but I was worrying about something soo I told a member of staff and got told to shut up. This school treats students like defences animals most of the time

this school is HORRIBLE! the staff are even worse. i heard one of the ict teachers raped a student there. and mr manning has been saying horrible things to his students. IF I COULD RATE 0 I WOULD! THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO STOP TAKING SIDES AND ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO MAKE NASTY COMMENTS.

This school has some really good teachers and some really bad ones. The leadership is questionable and they care more about your uniform than your learning or wellbeing. I gave it 4/5 for safety and security. It doesn't seem unsafe and I haven't felt in danger while being there so I guess that's good. The food is okay not great not terrible but you can bring your own and they have a dining hall, cafe and pod as well as outdoor benches so that's okay. The indoor environment is old and dated but it is an old building. The corridors are too small so leads to crushes. They have a good outdoor environment which they just don't use. They have a beautiful bit of woodland which is now fenced off and barely ever used or maintained and 2 courtyards which have the same issue. I wish they would use these spaces more rather than just the concrete slabs. They do have plenty of outdoor football courts though and they will give you footballs at break and lunch if you want them. They do have cadets which is great if that's your thing. You can't join in year 8 you have to wait until year 7. In terms of gcses I haven't done then yet so the only thing I can say is that they only have one language to pick which is spanish.

Way too many students for the actual site. Corridors are way too cramped and most of the time it's difficult to even move around the school, especially if you need to follow the one way system and have to go through the quad and through another entrance. Some staff are really nice and good at teaching but some teachers for gcse subjects just don't know what they're doing, especially for gcse subjects which is worrying.

Good school, some bad teachers, not the cleanest, good mates from there, strict on uniform and electronics, good opportunities

The Leadership of this school is appalling! The Head Teacher, is a total waste of time. It seems they are more bothered about school uniform policy over actual learning and pull children out of lessons and placed in to heir (detention) with no work twiddling their thumbs. Every child has the right to learn in this country, yet the leaders of this school think it is acceptable for their students to miss key information in learning. They did this with my child in their final year of school. Thank goodness I removed them for the last 6 months and they got their grades they needed in another provision. Simple solution clear out the leaders, the teachers who deliver the lessons are good.

the teachers here are absolutely amazing- not so much the people in charge; i’ve found my class teachers were much more supportive of me than heads of year etc! the rules in place seem to be unreasonable and hypocritical but other than that it’s great. with high school people are always going to be petty / rude etc but that doesn’t impact the school itself in my opinion.

it’s alright. the school is okay, most of the teachers are alright, and everything else is pretty good.

everything is ridiculous the policies don't apply to all and only apply when they see fit

Bit irrelevant really quite standard but near to holmfirth which is just far better

The hypocrisy of the school is amazing it’s one rule for one student and another for one, saw didnt seem to care about students smoking weed or cigarettes or drinking on site
