Leasowes High School

Amazing. This school is just like Alcatraz. (Mr mynott N)

absolute sh*t school 0 consideration for pupils teachers have no respect

Control of classes at this school is varied. Some teachers are brilliant at controlling classes although this can’t be said for the majority. The pastoral staff who are set to be the people we can talk to, Gossip about the kids which means the students have nobody to talk to. If students are struggling to mental health and/or self harm; staff don’t help besides saying don’t do it again. Or distract yourself. If students are struggling at home with parents. Pastoral will notify the parents so problems can get worse. i never felt unsafe at school. But I knew if had problems at school. There wasn’t many people I could talk to besides the odd trusted teacher. I know students that were laughed at with a problem. I know students that were publicly embarrassed Infront of the class. This had damaging effects on students mental health. Fair warning

I got isolation for no reason. There was someone in my year who used to victimise them self's however they could and one day, after cross country, they spread a serious roumor about rape and the rumour involved me. Then they blamed me for spreading the roumor but it was serious and about me so I didn't understand how they thought I spread it.I tried to explain that I didn't spread any rumours but the pastoral didn't listen, it wasn't fair. I was a good student so I liked lesson, didn't do anything wrong, I mainly sat there minding my own business because I didn't have any friends because they all turned on me. It was a shock to me and my teachers that I got isolation because my teachers knew that I would never spread any rumours. I felt like no one listened to me. Also, I was in class one day and the one of the pastoral people walked in and made me stand up infront of the whole class and made me say that I spread the roumor and it wasn't true. It was embarrassing and humiliating because of what the rumour was about and the fact that people thought I spread it made it worse. I felt lonely and not listened too. I got isolation the next day and I had to do it in the kingfisher and as I was in there, I could feel the teachers staring at me and when I looked, they were and I felt uncomfortable. More rumours spread about me around the school and I didn't really have any friends, I didn't want to talk about how I felt to anyone because I felt like I wouldn't have got listened too because of the isolation for no reason.

I'm now in year 11 and they eventually kicked the kid out that started everything but the kid caused me alot of harm, low self esteam and they spread lots more roumors about me.

In my opinion, behaviour in that school is terrible, teachers don't know how to control naughty kids in our class and we barley get things done in lesson. When outside, there's mainly alot of rubbish all over the floor and alot of seagulls are always around and people get pooped on by them, it's not anyones fault that people get pooped on by the seagulls but maybe if there wasn't so much rubbish around, there wouldn't many seagulls and birds.

A shithole some times I feel like I’m locked in a prison

The teachers could not control classes very well and during maths mock exams that we had in the class room, the teacher said "It's not my problem if you fail" because she could not control the class. This didn't help many students achieve the grades that they needed. The pastoral team did not handle bullying very well because I myself was bullied alot and I got into trouble for things I did not do.

this school continues to let students stay in the school when they are threat to another student, they have issues with safeguarding students, they don’t know how to tackle homophobia or bullying and have never been supportive throughout my high school career. Teachers don’t teach, they put powerpoints up, expect you to understand and then get mad and act confused why all our grades assessments are low. Please don’t send your children here if you want them to be happy and do academically well

Vile school, not only were the kids bad but the teachers are worse. I was made fun of by teachers for not understanding certain stuff especially maths, I was sent out of lessons for getting questions wrong, put into isolation for reporting a teacher I thought to be a *********, place in isolation for having meltdowns ( I’m autistic) and given constant detentions for things that weren’t my fault. Teachers never listen to me, even when I asking for help with my mental health. Belittled my trauma, ignored when other student made jokes about me being r*ped. And they didn’t support me AT ALL during the investigation. I was constantly made to feel worthless and this school contributed to my bad mental health to the point where my psychiatrist at camhs believes high school is partially a reason for my ptsd. I was going to be excluded for losing it at a teacher when I reached my breaking point but I ended up leaving before the exclusion went through. Don’t go here, I didn’t think I would make it out of that school alive that seems dramatic but honestly it’s not a risk to take.

Really bad, was bullied to the point of self harm because I have a foreign accent, the teachers didn't care at all. People spread rumours about my sister, and she was advised not to come into school the next day BY A TEACHER.
School is disgusting and falling apart, a lot of doors don't even have handles and the headmaster spent a load of money on a logo for the front of the school instead of on fixing the actual inside.
