Ignorant, hypocritical Staff
Genuine nightmare. Teachers refuse to do anything about bullying, even when literal SLURS are thrown around which are heard by like half of the school, also refuse to actually tell students off/send out of class when disturbing everyone. Teachers also always complain about noise and distractions, only to then become a distraction by whistling and/or constantly chatting very loudly with other students/staff. Maybe one or two teachers genuinely care, but not many do alot. The head is a genuine disgrace to educators. Genuinely had to move school because of the teachers.
dont know
dont know didnt go to this school
Lacking in expertise
Poorly led, previously had a fantastic reputation under the past head, grades have now dropped, with a lack of knowledge and expertise around additional support needs or a willingness to follow an agreed child plan . Complaints of bullying amongst both pupils and staff team, with the head teacher refusing to acknowledge bullying or discrimination exists. Disappointing.
can be an enjoyable school

Not too great
Honestly, it didn’t really feel like they cared for me (and my friends) as student. We complained relentlessly about the constant bullying we were experiencing and absolutely NOTHING was done about it.
Only a short list of the teachers are actually somewhat caring towards the students.
The teachers were extremely strict about grading and it seemed as if that was all they cared about, that and the impression of the school to the public.

Was an alright school.
Cared more about grades, there is only a short list of the good teachers there.
