Kings Priory School

My Daughter attends Kings Priory and she couldn't be happier, she has additional needs and the support the schools support for her has been brilliant. Staff are caring and attentive and my daughter has excelled academically, my wife is a teacher (not at Kings Priory) is shocked by the rate of progress our daughter has made. I would recommend it to any parent who wants the best opportunity for their children.

I went too this school as it is the closest school I live too, i remember being bullied right from the start. In the middle school it was an unsafe environment and i would describe it like “get bullied or be the bully” I was the one getting bullied. If you have a disability of any sort this is not the school for you they don’t accommodate it well at all,I have an autistic friend who’s mum got told that she’s not actually autistic and that she’s being manipulative, by the SEN part of school. If I was still going to this school I would be heavily bullied by now even worse than when I was going, on my last day in kings I remember some boys in my year screamed “how many cuts you got on your arm” at me, i know this bullying would have escalated if i still went there. When I walked through the corridor some boys looked at me (I was 11 and they where about 14) and called me a “sex toy”, therefore this is an unsafe environment, one time I was extremely upset after an incident with my bully and I was hiding out in the toilet crying and some girls thought I was skipping lessons so they asked a teacher to open the bathroom door with a key and they open the door to find me (I was around 12) curled up in a ball crying, instead of doing to humane thing which is asking if I’m alright or comforting me, they said to the teacher “oh there’s just some kid crying in there” and locked the bathroom door again, that’s not how a school that cares about its students would manage it and that’s is quite frankly how i would summarise the school itself- dehumanising and an unsafe environment for anyone. I would say their good at teaching they do a good job they are a good school but you can’t get anywhere if in between those successful lessons children are getting pinned against walls and being belittled. Their methods don’t work, the behaviour of other students is terrible but instead of working on making the schools environment more friendly and comfortable and loving, they try to make the school environment more strict and the hierarchy of students and teachers a lot more strong, this dosent work and will never work all it does is make the kids smarter and the teachers more hated therefore harassed more. With school dinners sometimes they ran out of food and had to get sandwiches from the six form block which is unacceptable as they promise actual meals. My brother and me both got bullied and my brother had to involve the police into it because of how hopeless kings was, my solution was to move school.

i mean i guess they're trying?? they accommodate special needs and stuff to some extent but you need a lot of diagnosing and faffing first. good LUCK finding a bathroom to use if you're disabled or genderqueer i have to walk for like eight minutes to find mine and sometimes it's just locked for no reason

Great school love it
