King Ethelbert School

good school, good just good you know good people good good

this school offers no help at all. please do not send your child to this schol. as a student i know how rubbish this school is. the food is so mankey and i often find mold in my sandwices

Absolutely awful school. Feral students are out of control and get away with bullying as it seems the staff are scared of them and their parents. The SEN department are just rubbish. The SEN leader has not got a clue about any laws or regulations surrounding EHCPs and SEN. The behaviour of the staff can be strange. One laying on a desk in a middle of a lesson did happen. Another telling a student that they were all animals that were meant to live in forests and f**k. Seems highly inappropriate. Racism is rife among some of the students. Homophobia too. And nothing gets dealt with. I would send your child anywhere but, here. I don't think even a new head teacher will sort this mess out!

The school are great in the majority of aspects. HOWEVER, their maths and geography departments are appalling. We had a teacher lay on a desk for multiple lessons a week and I taught myself all of the content. They did nothing about behaviour in geography. My maths teacher was almost concerning as he would make uncomfortable comments on people’s bodies and told me (who was predicted 9s) that I was unreachable and terrible as a student. The thing that aggravated me the most about this school is the way that they deal with bullying. I had a friend going through an accusation of another student, and they didn’t believe her AT ALL. But then for another they got police involved. They also had a member of staff at pupil services that believed every person that walked in was faking whatever they had going on- I have a care plan so when I was told that my Reasoning for going home was not appropriate I was appalled- and then I threw up everywhere in her office as I was in that much of a state. She also refused a student who had cracked a tooth that was profusely bleeding to go to an emergency dentist as she literally snapped it off. When it comes to exam prep for SEN it’s also awful. It stated in my care plan that I have to be sat in natural light on my own with purple paper for my exam sheets- they sat me in the main hall for my GCSEs with an overlay and blue paper, which caused several health issues such as going into my exams with a migraine. If you are a high achiever this school loves you, but if you struggle at all you are left to drown.
