Hornsea School and Language College

boring and teachers very impolite hate the place xxx

very biased, insanely sexist, some teachers sanction you based on how liked you are, for example if a teacher hates you and another student who they liked lied about you and got you in trouble, they wouldnt even think to believe you in any way, ive been on the bad end of this once before, this school is bullying, biased and sexist and if you even want a chance of being happy here you better stay as far away from trouble as you can otherwise it will be hell for you, hence why someone changed its name on google to "hornsea school and hell on earth", someone i know at this school was being threatened with exclusion for something they didnt do and was unable to leave the room until they admitted to doing the thing they were accused of doing even though there was 0 evidence, very very biased, i was also a victim of horrendous sexism and the teacher i had at the time would not tell of any girl no matter what they did, the girls were on there phones, loud and did little to no work, whereas every boy had to sit almost in silence and we would get told off for absolutely nothing, even the girls thought it was unfair and blatantly sexist, pastoral is little to no help unless they like you, otherwise little will be done

Teachers made up their own rules and were biased and treat students depending on how much they liked them, one of my teachers didn’t even know how to teach the subject properly, gave me a lot of mental health problems, dreaded going there everyday and just wanted to do my exams and get it over with so i can finally feel free, don’t get me wrong some of the teachers were amazing such as miss mosely because she wasn’t too strict and was understanding and could take a joke and generally made the lesson enjoyable and something i was actually excited to go to, most other lessons were poor and there wasn’t much if any enthusiasm resulting in not many people caring because nobody was excited to go to that lesson, overall not the best and could use some serious changes in a lot of areas, amazing head teacher though, really thoughtful and understanding towards students especially myself, actually listened to what you had to say and understood what you had to say and why you were saying it and gave a fair response that you couldn’t really complain about, overall the school isn’t great at all but there are a select few teachers that make it worth going but not that great of a school considering how many people left with serious mental health issues.

It is quite good for a secondary school, and there are nice teachers but the uniform policy is too strict. I enjoy lessons (especially Drama and PE) but there are a few teachers who will not let you out until way after the bell so this results in us not having access to the good lunches. Break and lunch isn't long enough!! Apart from that it's a good school and it's easy to find your way around.

its okay. for me the school has never been horrendous- but there are without a doubt things that need to change- especially regarding the extremely strict rules. a deviant child can run havoc around the school and still not get sanctioned half as severely as a student with a nose piercing. although their efforts are there, their priorities need to be redirected. on a positive note though, the amount of support that the school provides for child safety, mental health and home welfare etc are outstanding. staff are incredibly flexible and able to tailor to a students' needs should they need a different or unorthodox approach to their education. great school, decent pupils and of course- a great area

Even though I haven't been there for long it's a great school and has helped me grow !

Amazing school has the best teachers. Lessons well structured for me 7/8/9 at gcse and hopefully will do similar at A-Level. It also has really good food

All in all it is a great school to study at. I do not disagree worth the fact that there are strict behaviour rules in place given the amount of pupils who did not obey the old system before planners. I am one of the older students who saw the school and how they have changed to make things much better not only for students but also the parents, careers or guardians. They have a great child centred approach which allows for anyone to get the support that they need and for it to be communicated to the correct outside agencies. I believe that there are still aspects that they need to work on but that is only very few and small aspects.

The overall teaching of the school is average. However a student will be sent to isolation for not wearing their uniform correctly, however, acts of racism, homophobia and overall bullying only results in a ‘verbal warning’. Also, with the planner sanction scheme, most teachers will reward students who are generally poor behaving, but show one positive act, but students who behave well all the time, don’t get as much praise. And teachers will make their own rules just so they can sanction a student with a ‘written warning’. I also feel that the hiring of the staff could be better, me and my peers have been called “stupid”, “ugly”, “fat” and “worthless” by the same teacher. But when we complain, nothing seems to happen. Guess I should leave this on a positive note, most teachers want to see us succeed and strive for the best, and will go out of their way to make that happen for us.

The majority of the school is about average in its dealing. Most teachers teach very well; however this is cancelled out by the horrible behaviour staff and policies. You can get removed from classes for forgetting your planner twice, however blatent racism is met with "keep apart". If your child doesn't usually get introuble, this will change. Their written warning system means that everyone I have spoken to has one, mostly for something you wouldn't imagine would be punishable.
