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.
