absolutely horrendous!!!!!!!!
my child goes to this school and i have seen their mental health take a drastic decline for the worst! mr barrow that sadistic disorderly twat faced CHILD of a man. he cares more about what “gossip” is happening in students lives than his god foresaken useless job at that blasphemic school. one time when i used to go to this school one of the teachers told me the reason girls dont wear skirts is because they are “slags”! disgraceful! a teacher once also said boys will get distracted and she wouldn’t be able to help herself from looking under the tables at peoples skirts!

Liam mcgoldrick gave me gender change surgery
This little specky twat called Liam came up to me the other day, we talked for a few minutes until he asked me to help with his homework, I agreed but when he led me to the bathrooms I was a bit confused, ended up leaving the school with a vajajay
If you are to send your child here, I'd recommend you advise them not to let random kids use rusty scalpels and the genitals of dead rodents to give them gender change surgery.

Kepier should be your LAST RESORT SCHOOL.
It's not good. You're punished for drinking in class. You literally need a medical pass to go to the toilet. If you don't have the very specific Uniform and equipment you get negatives, 3 negatives in a day and you get 30 minutes after school. People from the school steal from local shops. My aunt ALWAYS has a story about kids stealing from B&M where she works. If you haven't got the right shoes of a strict, black colour of certain brands. £5.50 for a tie from the office, More than that from 3rd party sources.such as eBay. It's absurd.
Goodluck
Worst choice coming here. The school couldn’t care less about students mental health. They have “Yellow Day” and pretend to care but then when a student actually needs help, they don’t get it. They care more about uniform than anything else. No support towards transgender students. Extreme sexism and racism which obviously the teachers don’t care about. I was off school due to my Nana passing away (which the school was told about). Yet still getting phone calls everyday asking why i’m not in. They don’t care about the students and just want the whole attendance to look good for them.
excellent
or its pure class mush
Bad asf
Worse school ever literally don't know how it hasn't been closed
bad kepier school review
disappointing. this school has the bare minimum amount of support needed. mental health isn't recognized outside of mental health day. bullying isn't handled well, brushed off most the time. its literally ignored when its right in front of the teachers faces. they care more about people going to the toilet than anything else. students are shouted at and given stages for needing the toilet and end up walking out the class. not to mention they don't have doors nor are they kept clean. This school has chipped away at my mental wellbeing the second I stepped into this building. this is a failing school. its failing me and people around me. I've been awarded positive points while not even being in school. the people that actually try hard and put in effort get pushed aside so they can focus on the people who couldn't give less of a care about school. they do the bare minimum and its a miracle. some teachers speak to pupils like dogs. its ridiculous. the headteacher is power hungry that only wants to look good to the public eye. the chicken in the burgers is RAW. its watery and raw. the effort put in by this school is honestly appalling. there is only one teacher that I respect in this school. the one that actually helped me and took into account my problems. thank you for helping me. -anonymous
I hate my life because of this school
i go to this school and i do not like this place at all i hate it here for many reasons for starts one the school food if u do not order you are still able to get food however it’s absolutely rank the food is chicken burgers but taste like salmonella they’re always soggy and mouldy the bread can be soggy and crusty on the same thing what the hell? once my friend even had mold on theirs. i’d rather eat sandwiches like where made this morning and are soggier then sea life rather then choke down on those “burgers”
and to agree with another review the mental health thing is not working at all oh oh change your profile to yellow to stop depression🥺🥺🥺what’s that going to do nothing instead of actually tryna help students with mental health they in a way make it worse as they do nothing about bullying except maybe a stage or detention that’s not going to stop bullying and for people who are transgender or other gender indentifications like myself the teachers aren’t able to user pronouns due to the government when in my friends school whose is way nicer may i and 404/the schools of somewhere i read it on a rating side and us being 2000 and something is ridiculous don’t you think
after talking about mental health and the food now it’s for the rule system some of it i can understand talking in class and stuff but when it gets to the point for no reason like laughing my friend did one time she was the only one who got in trouble and a year ago or so i was struggling with work no questions like oh do u need help no the teacher read the names of the people who are getting a stage out to the whole class disgusting right and most the time teachers either don’t give them out fairly or give to many out
this schools is terrible and needs a lot of improvement for example good food , maybe add skirts for people who don’t want to wear the trousers trust me they’re are so tight after day 1 you have claustrophobia and mental health and lgbtq groups would do the world a good to help with mental health if they “care so much”
oh and forgot to add bullying as in physical sometimes the teachers don’t see twice i’ve seen a fight and the teachers to their sweet time like walking slowly is adi ash or flowers in a a film it’s sickening the teachers don’t even care to see how the child’s thinking and mental health it’s just yell yell detention yell
this schools bad or at very most below average

GCSEs
Don’t go here pls
Other reviews hit the nail on the head, lack of support, lack of consistent rules, biased, sexist, lots of bullying
Lack of support to student body.
Do not care about students mental health, I know people who waited for counselling the whole time there and did not receive it. From what I know, the schools way of celebrating the recent mental health/yellow day was to try get students to change their profile pictures on social media to yellow instead of actually helping and showing support to people with mental health. Vile homophobic, transphobic, sexist and racist language was and probably still is frequent used amongst the student body, the school makes no effort outside a few cfl lessons to change this or educate and instead treats it as a normal thing, barely showing any support for students dealing with bullying because of their identity, especially out trans students who are frequently misgendered by the staff meant to support them. Major change is needed
atrocious school
really horrendous school. they care more about uniform than they do anything else. on one of the first days, they had a huge line of pupils stood outside of the school in the rain because they were wearing the wrong trousers. they don’t do much about bullying which was pretty apparent when i was told to “just say stuff back”. also, the girls in my year were once pulled into an assembly and we were told not to wear coloured bras in case it distracts the male students or teachers. one day, it was really hot in a classroom and my friend took off her blazer. a male teacher came over to her and told her to put it on in case you could see her bra. the male students constantly get away with not following the dress code but the females are always getting told off for it. many students have pointed this out to the teachers but they don’t listen. it’s incredibly biased and sexist.
some of the teachers don’t know what they’re doing. somebody asked my science teacher what the parts of the brain were and her response was, “i don’t know. i’m not very good with the parts of the brain. google it yourself.” the pupil replied with “you’re the teacher, shouldn’t you know?” and she straight up replied with, “i don’t know everything” instead of just googling it for them. not to mention the amount of times she shamed us for the grades we got which really upset me on multiple occasions.
the corridors were crowded every single day. there was a rule to keep left at all times but hardly anyone obeyed this rule since it was so difficult with the amount of people. this was especially bad on the stairs. i even witnessed one of my friends getting pushed down the stairs by someone. not to mention, you aren’t allowed to go to your lockers at certain parts of the day if your locker was located upstairs which makes no sense??? they often change the rules and certain rules only apply to certain students it seems. it’s very unfair as the teachers seem to just make up rules from the top of their head at times.
i’d also like to point out that pupils who continuously misbehave get put into the “believe box” where they get to go on more school trips and outings than the pupils who behave do. these pupils never follow the dress code and they even stand outside smoking and the teachers do nothing about it! when ofsted come to inspect the school, the kids in believe go on a trip to keep them away.
to sum this up, kepier is a rubbish school who care way too much about uniform, don’t do anything about bullying, the students run wild and never get caught, the teachers aren’t good at teaching and the rules change every single day which is incredibly unfair and confusing.
