King Edward VI Grammar School

Horrible school, rude staff, experiences of sexism from teachers. Teachers were unhelpful when reporting serious issues, for example bullying, hires Pervy teachers who make female students uncomfortable. Headteacher was sacked, schools just a joke, speeches and new talks every week about behaviour of students when really it’s the teachers who need to understand putting a PowerPoint on is not going to get kids enthusiastic about learning. Kids here get away with anything they want, vaping in toilets which teachers tried to change by putting cameras in there and removing doors, just punishes kids who do nothing wrong and rewards ‘naughty’ ones when they don’t act up for one lesson.

Use to be a good school - hasnt been for several years now. Head has basically been sacked, many subjects taught by non-specialist teachers, 6th form numbers falling through the floor because the kids vote with their feet. Enrichment usually means kids sitting about doing nothing or doing extra maths. The limited available trips are only for rich kids and PE staff (Disneyland and skiing every year). Staff are unhelpful, unresponsive. The school is shabby and permanently dirty.

don’t do it especially if you live far awat it’s not worth it you’ll have zero social life outside of school worst five years of my life

I started in 2019 when I was in year 7 and I loved it, the classes are interesting and fun, there's a wide range of school clubs and the teachers are very enthusiastic.
