Do NOT go to lister

Teachers are retards half the kids are vaping and these idiots, mind my language don't know what's going on in their classes also people using phones under blazers. Bruddas getting violated left and right others getting picked on and punched in the arm others getting bullied (I've seen it so many times). Form representatives and house/year representatives are quite literally chosen by who the most rated(popular) kids are in the school not by how good the quality of the student or speech is. Stupid lanyard rule, if you don't have it on while you walk on it is a detention regardless of whether you have it or not, walking in a MINUTE late gets you a 30 minute detention (just make it so you stay back the amount of time you miss and cap it at 1 hour)

Shit school

The worst school ever.believe me. Basically I went through a lot of bullying with these people and it was serious.Their rules specifically say “Any bullying tolerated will be an instant exclusion”,mm very true.Me and my friend got verbally abused by the substitute that we had calling us ‘ugly face,get a brain’ other stuff but I want to hurry up.So the teacher proceeds to say he was kicked and will never come back,everything was going all right until after a short time I see him again.Then he got kicked out bla bla bla.

There’s this toilet pass business and I used to have one.I was in class and I needed to go to the bathroom.A toilet pass is only needed if you have a medical condition which means your allowed to go for however long you want to.So I was in class then I showed the teacher that I have a pass he proceeds to say ‘2 minutes go or else detention’.The thing is I was on the top floor and there are three floors in the school,all the other toilets were locked except the ground floor one.You already know what happens I don’t make it and he proceeds to say detention so I get my mum involved and he went silent.

There is other stuff to say but I really ain’t bothered to say it cuz I don’t wanna waste my time on a shit school. Just an fyi there are many fights inside school and outside so feel free not to feel safe🙂Anyways don’t go to any school in east London they are all shit,bye!

Lister Community School

First experience of the school seemed good, but a few months on I can see the true colours of what happens there. Full scale fights outside the school, and in the playground. Children mugged for their lunch in the school. Militant teachers who give detentions for not having the right school equipment or making innocent mistakes such as forgetting to say "sir". And don't expect to be notified if your child is kept behind after school.

Lister

The school over all is great, but the options courses become slightly annoying as they don't tell you a lot about the courses before you choose. The fact that RS is a necessary course is also annoying as it takes up a slot for an option that some students would have preferred to RS. The teachers overall are great too, but sometimes they blame you for things you haven't done and get too happy when it comes to concerns.

Should they put in tougher sanctions?

My experience within the school was bad because of the countless amounts of bullying I received and it consisted of racism because I'm half black, social exclusion because I'm autistic and the teachers would just say 'well we'll see what we can do from there'and any time someone got punished, they never learned and I think they should put in tougher sanctions for racial bullying and social exclusion
