Awful school...
Absolutely awful school, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!! My child has struggled the entire way throughout kinver, Staff are awful and u helpful and safegaurding and pastoral team are just astonishingly bad. Some of the teaching staff are exceptional and have really bent over backwards to help my child but all other staff especially the pastoral team are awful and don't seem to want to help the childen who truly need it. They deal with the day to day stress and care that some students need but whe...

NO FOOD FOR MY SON!??
My son Jamal jr came home one day and said to me that all the chocolate chip cookies were eaten by a boy called carmen Winston ? This is completely unacceptable!!! If my son can’t get any food since your school clearly can’t afford the lot then why should I pay for the food!??!!!???

Kinver High
If your child is perfect they may do well here but expect some shouty teachers in class, a poor pastoral service. If your child has SEN or suspected SEN do not go here. The headteacher doesn’t care about the kids. There is a Zero tolerance behavioural policy. No care, no compassion and no understanding from her. You have to follow her super strict rules or you’re out and they don’t support kids well with emotional issues, or neurodiversity. Be warned!!!! It’s like a prison. They watch your every move from the many cameras they have around the school and toilets. Hit and Miss with the teachers, some are great some are not. The good ones tend to leave. Toxic senior leadership team.

Horrendous
Hello. I went to Kinver 2 years ago and I have a lot to say about this school. Maybe some things have changed, but after consistently being treated poorly for the entire 5 years, I doubt that. I am still recovering from the trauma I picked up from my time there. This school prides itself in being helpful for neurodivergent and dyslexic students, but I highly discourage anyone from going there with these issues. Firstly, in year 7 I complained about my chest and neck hurting two days in a row. I...

Bad and horrible
Its honestly not as bad as people say but it is not good either. Like seriously a kid got given a vape forcefully and he got in trouble and kids smoke weed at the back of the new build almost every day and the teachers don't even care

Needs new management
Over the last 8 years both my children have attended this school. They are not interested in individuals, they are training the kids to be robots. Ive had incidents with both my children in this school and wished id never sent either of them here. There answer to everything is iso or loss of social time. I wouldnt recommend this school to anyone. Some of the teachers are great, its the top management thats ruining this school. I

Kinver High School
I would give this school no stars if I could. Don’t send a child here with suspected SEN. You will receive no support from school and headteacher seems to think she knows if a child has SEN or not. Some teachers are nice, loads have left since the Headteacher has arrived. Many of the teachers can’t control their classes and yell and shout at the students.

Do not bother applying for Kinver.
Its an awful school. They DO NOT care about their students. They only care about what OFSTED give them and once OFSTED leave the go back to not caring. One teacher at this school was fired for online sexting a year 11 and another teacher was racist to another pupil!!! My own daughter had nasty girls saying things about her online but the school did not care one bit. Do not send your kids to this school. The only good part was the cleaners and canteen lady's. They were lovely. It was just the head and her buddy's.

Rubbish
This school is the worst my son suffered disability bullying 6 and my daughter was stabbed with a compass and attempted to be stabbed with scissors in which she was forced to defend herself and possibly save her own life and the school isn't overly bothered.

Review
It’s okay. Personally I think the teachers should find more ways to connect with us. I think they should also keep the years separated, as the older years can be quite chaotic to the younger years (I know from experience). They should also make the art curriculum more loose. By this I mean not just copying other people’s art-styles that they have taken years to master, but finding different techniques with different things to find our own art-style.

Horrible
Extremely toxic, not enough support given to children, rubbish communication with parents. All in all a awful school to send your kids to.
