Good but could be better
I am leaving this review anonymously as I have built a good relationship with the school. My son has attended the school for 3 years and is currently in Year 9. The school tries to be the best it possibly can be is making some great changes in the right direction. From what I have been told by my son the lessons are calmer so as a parent that makes me happy.
My son had to deal with a fair amount of bullying during his time here leading up to Year 9 however since a change of staff it seems it was dealt with by Mr Dancer in a single day years after the ongoing issue was not dealt with by the previous staff with excellent communication back and forth making me aware of what was happening. I found the Mr Dancer and Mrs Baldwin to be very efficient and helpful when helping me with any issues so best to go to them, I dont know the others however i am sure there are some good apples.
I will be sending my younger child to the school. I would recommend asking for Mr Dancer or Mrs Baldwin as they get stuff done so quickly and are very good at keeping us informed. Mr Singh is lovely also.
I think it will be great to see how Laureate grow over the next few years.

This school is totally out of control
Children are getting attacked by other students under the noses of the teaching staff.
And the victims are being blamed by the teachers.
This school is totally out of control.
It needs to be investigated now, these teachers have failed our children.

Sad review
Sadly this school has mostly been a terrible experience for my Grandson. If you have a child with special needs of any type then unfortunately, not many teachers are on your side or your child’s side. In fact, a child can become destroyed by the attitude of some teachers to the point of threatening their own lives. I wish I had more positive and good things to say. There have been glimmers of support for him but they are few and far between.
Amazing school
My son goes to this school it is amazing and he loves it here not as bad as people say it js
Good school considering
School had a bad reputation but seems to be on the up. There are some really good staff at the school for pastoral care. Notably Mr Dancer and Mr Benjamin. School is looking very dated but that can’t really be helped unfortunately. Other than that not as bad as people say, it’s been good for my children 😊
The worst school ever.
This school is the worse school to ever send your kids. The teacher are rude and don't follow the rules and that is including the covid rules. The school lies to all of the parents including me. They barely have any GCSEs for my kid. They are only other because I can't get them anywhere else. As soon as I can get my kid out of there, they are gone.
