Invicta Grammar School

I have had 2 students from here tell another girl too slit there wrists and rape them and family. They should be taught better

My daughter is doing her GCSE’s and has had her education constantly disrupted by taking her out of class, isolated and suspended because of sanctions which were, skirt rolled up, coat worn in school, nail varnish, make up and the having a teeny tiny helix piercing that cannot be seen. Also, not completing homework when she tried but found it difficult.
She isn’t disruptive in class but gets isolated and suspended because she incurred so many detentions from sanctions.
One or two teachers are nice but the majority of the senior ( head of years etc ) are awful and my daughter wants to leave because she feels she is being bullied by some of these teachers. Clearly the school are only interested in very brights grade 9 students and how their school looks and appearances.
What has really annoyed me is that they don’t treat all students the same. There are plenty of students that have more than more piercing or wear make up or roll up their skirt above their knee but the same sanctions as they give my daughter are not given to them
If my daughter has the day off due to not being well, I’m told that her education is suffering but they can pull her out of classes every day and isolate and suspend her for having an extra piercing where it doesn’t show.
Invicta are only interested in students that don’t open their mouth, and are hight achievers

This school gives a ridiculous amount of sanction and acts like they’re poor they care too much about little things no wonder a girl in my class in only year 7 got suspended 3 times. The teachers have favourites and make it very obvious by comparing us. Some teachers can’t teach and one who was coughing aggressively during my end of year exam gave me covid. The food is too expensive and a girl ( white ) said the N word and didn’t get in trouble they are so racist and my friend got food poisoning from the canteen. I would not recommend it at all - appalling as so many people leave in the first year.

Abusive teachers that almost made me do self harm.They do not care about mental health and just want them to do good in gsce.they do not teach us anything and about a week ago we did a test and everyone scored less than 60 percent and they told us off for that.We get 15 after school dentition for just frigging TALKING

If you enjoy illusions, paint and lies then invicta grammar is the place for you. When it comes to the root of it, this school is a individuality draining mess focused on cramming students into a mould which they clearly do not belong. I began at Invicta in 2018 and like many, was in awe by the facilities but unfortunately empty promises. “Big sisters” “plenty of support “ “individuality” the list goes on and on my friends, but don’t be fooled. The lack of effective communication is shocking considering it’s one of the “best schools in Kent” and that is only part of the issue. Between year 7 and 8 issues were easy to ignore, the awful environment masked with trips to exotic places dangled in front of us, but as I progressed it only became worse. As a student who consistently gets high grades and cares a lot about their studies I found myself beginning to find the pressure building up. When I reached out for help the attitude was disgusting and after one lame meeting of telling me to just “relax “ my issue was quickly forgotten about. It appears that unless your behaviour is the issue that your mental health and problems are not welcome in the hostile student support centre. The amount of teachers leaving every year is also highly concerning, with gcse classes being thrown around with new teachers left right and centre. I am now a gcse student whose mental health has never been worse and the lack of support I have received from the so called “pastoral team” is embarrassing. I am unsure what the sixth form is like but from my experiences at the school unless you are perfectly stable then you will reach many points of struggle. Don’t get me wrong there are some staff members who truly care and if it wasn’t for that I don’t know how I would still be going but in my experience, the negatives outweigh the positives.

Teachers are horrible, abusive bullies

don’t care about mental health and is just a bad teacher, i only have one teacher who cares about her students

It's ok not the best not the worst. Focuses more on smarter students so less smarter students don't get any attention. Don't really care about how you feel. Teachers don't alayss teach enough feels like in exams they missed a chunk of information needed. Don't care about racism, trans/homophobia ect. Pressure u so much way too much work. Teachers make big fuss out of small things but don't care about the big things or if they do they handle in bad way. Still go to school if u wanna.

school does barely anything to help students with their mental health, i've seen it happen to me and more than a few friends. they are way too pushy and your best is never good enough for them. they care so much about uniform/skirt length and don't care enough about actual issues like homophobia or racism etc. please don't come here, it's really really bad.

Teachers do nothing about racism if you love your mental health don’t go there as they don’t care. They don’t care about the students they only care about the grades which makes it a damaging place to be
