    DISGUSTING AND VILE

    Worse school in Scotland the place is full of bullies this also includes staff bar a select few the head mistress is awful she has no respect for anyone and lets everything slide from bullying of her pupils and staff to the hygiene of the place and she’d rather push things under the carpet. She treats kids with mental health and disabilities problems like complete dirt and she has no idea how to teach respect. Her attitude to her job is completely disgusting and she is the worse person I’ve ever...

    One of the worst schools in Scotland.

    Shocking excuse for a school. Many of the teachers do not care about their students. Staff let bullying slide and don’t take matters seriously. Extremely biased teachers. Of course there are a few exceptions to these points but far too few than there should be. This school is a joke and ran horribly. Many students believe it’s okay to bully and since there are little to no repercussions they continue to do it and make people’s lives miserable especially at school, disappointing lack of action fr...

    knox is a joke

    where do i start? 1. the teaching is unprofessional and unhelpful 2. the food is overpriced and cheap quality , nothing good has come out of that canteen 3. the bullying is out of hand everywhere you look there’s a judgy orange girl around the corner. 4. the hygiene is a joke, literally no where is clean it’s disgusting 5. the history is genuinely concerning a pedo teacher? an acid attack? a broken jaw? a missing teacher? like it’s unbelievable 6. the boys in that school are ugly women hating racists. the list could go on forever i hope it gets shut down thank god i’m leaving this year

    Knox in a nut shell

    As of writing this I have been out of Knox for about a year. This school has a history, I don't want to write a long review but there are a couple main points I'd like to hit. First, the dictator of a head teacher. I believe there is still the same head teacher, she has time and time again made horrible decision and vetoed any other opinion that opposes hers. From the non sensical and boring school uniform to the banning of dress down days as "some children may not have the money to dress down and donate". A second and more cheerful note, there are some extremely grump teachers here who really seem like they need to get their p45s but most of them are in it for the right reasons and really care about the students! So there's that in the schools name.
