King James's School

Average school but needs improvement like make better food and meals, let girls do basketball and rugby, get more comfortable chairs and don’t make such a big deal on school uniform, let students modify it but only to a certain level of course.

Bad for mental health ridiculous rules do not recommend toxic pls do not send your child here I have learnt nothing

Absolutely terrible. Major events have occurred and they were never really resolved and tucked away! And I don’t know how some people became a pastoral officers because they’re sending more kids to a mental institution than actual lessons, long story short this school is a one way ticket to a prison sentence or to a student hanging like a Christmas ornament. You’re better off sending your kid to jeffery Epsteins island than this place x

If your child struggles with mental health, do not send them here. Staff that deal with mental health stuff including head of years did not know what they were doing whatsoever. No help given at all regarding it.

I’ve enjoyed my time at king James so far I’m looking forward to starting year nine, and the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. Most of the teachers I have had so far are very helpful and give Great advice to improving my education. Sometimes I can’t focus though due to some teachers are not strict enough of the students and it gets out of control. So overall I enjoy my time at king James!

This is a school that needs to seriously review how it handles its own policies. From what should be simple, e.g., the dress code to the more complicated e.g., Anit-bullying. King James's school fails spectacularly on almost all of its policies, at worst leaving its pupils open to ongoing abuse.

school is full of prejudiced students. very common to hear homophobic and racist things said directly towards other students, in the presence of teachers and yet nothing gets done. all the school cares about is academics, sports and funding. there is no extra curricular activities unless you are good at sport, students with other interests get left behind. sixth form is awful as well. don’t be fooled by the new building it’s tiny as the school just cram as many students as they can for funding. the toilets are bad too as locks never work and it never gets fixed. also had many instances of sexual assault. don’t send your children here.

Probably one of the worst schools in the district. Currently a year 10 student as of March 2021, getting NO help from teachers in lessons. Only one or two nice teachers left. School is ran by the students and the amount of bullying going on is awful. Homophobic and racist students get let off every single time. Appalling. Do NOT send your children here.

I used to go to this school and left in year 9 in 2017 because I got bullied so much ending up in hospital each time my pastoral officer didn’t want anything to do with it so he took me to a room with no one around and said “if you don’t like it here then just leave” I’m still upset about the situation till this day. If you want your child to have a bright future then please take elsewhere!!!
