    Don’t believe the hype

    There is a reason why this school has no non white male teachers. The treatment they receive from management is crazy and needs investigating. I’m not not saying anything in favour of dei recruitment but staff needs to represent the demographic of the cohort. The slt team and leadership is a joke and a bunch of frauds. Just spoke to an ex teacher who said the best decision they ever made was leaving to teach elsewhere. Teaching has been made difficult due to poor management and leadership an...

    Say Wahalli

    Theirs is something shady going on in this school. Students are telling and promoting converting religions and the teachers are doing nothing about it seems. My kids say break time and lunchtime is a zoo and behaviour is creeping in to many lessons too. Teaching standards have massively dropped. Leadership and management has been a disaster for years.

    Beware Young male teachers

    Heard 3 teachers say at break “ how nice school was when kids were off for Eid and have behaviour was so much better” is this not racist? Young male teachers need to chill trying to be popular with girls it’s wrong, pervy and groomy. Needs investigating serious stop letching

    Dump of place

    This school is jokes.. Behaviour is unruly and place is going down hill. Downgrade is tragic Classroom are messy and corridors are a dump. What's worse it's the management and leadership. They just hide in their offices and point the finger.. everyone thinks they are jokers as all they want is to be liked so male teachers flirt with female students when they need to focus on teaching. Loads of students vape and last year a girl got pregnant and school just ignored it. Derby is poor and though this school is better than the dumps in the city it's not the best.. You're more likely to be converted than do well.. This school just elevates and takes credit for clever kids that are cleaver because they are clever not because of the lessons or teachers. New management team are a bunch of clowns collecting a big paycheck Woke ideologies are preached and pushed and some staff dress ridiculously self promoting their own whacky agendas

    School with Bad Security

    This school has to be the worst school ever, they give me too much homework, the break time is too short which is 16 minutes, gives you too much false negatives, people just chat when the teacher speaks, and they don't let me go to the Gym unless you are at Year 10 and 11 and A Levels

    Run down school with poor management.

    Management has gone through several changes but is still awful. Unless you’re prepared to be grinded down, given timetables that include zeros breaks while others are given frees for no fair or logical reasons… wellbeing is shocking. Constantly told to smile and false positivity means it’s harder to flag issues up that are health with. Being told if you’re not happy.. leave is said to experienced staff who they want to push out. Discrimination is rife at this school with staff forced to leave wh...

    Overrated

    Figure fudging school Only reason attendance is high is because they have inset when it’s Eid Only reason ebacc is high is because they force students to do languages and humanities. If you child is thick they get them to do tourism or some pointless pshe qualification which gets you no where. Better less populated schools then this over hyped pretentious place. The site is a dump, leaky classroom with hidden asbestos. They can’t even build new buildings properly as the new blocks have faults

    Stay away

    If you're Asian, black, or non British white don't apply for this school. You'll be lucky to be accepted and even then won't be treated equally or fairly. You only need to speak to staff and students to know the truth

    Pretentious school with pretentious staff

    This school is going downhill.. overhyped management and leadership who just walk round being smug and just talk down to everyone. Overheard teachers talk about how toxic it is a place to work at.. the school only survives because their pretentious reputation and lack of competition. Place has plenty racial and discrimination issues... Against kids and staff from what I'm hearing "Oh and now...How can you be a language hub yet only teach 3 languages???" lol.. quoted from other teachers from another school..

    Littleover Community School: Bad school, bad staff, bad drug problem!

    The staff are encouraged by those higher up to put “trouble” children into seclusion and exclusion constantly. This forces parents to move kids to a different school. If they don’t, then the school move the kid to another school themselves! This means LCS keeps only the students that will get good grades at exam time, keeping the schools “reputation” high and keeps them up on the results table! Top staff are bullies and show no respect to kids or parents. The school staff are racist too. The sch...

    A bully’s paradise

    I’ve been a student at this school for years I have been constantly bullied. kicked, made fun of, spat at, told to go kill my self and a lot more each time getting worse this lasted for nearly 4 years. I told teachers, my parents got involved but the teachers just don’t care and twist things back on to me and said my problem was at home and not in school and at one point my parents where even told the school will notify social services which was completely ridiculous. they just don’t want anything to tarnish there reputation. My parents have raised me will love and always told me to respect others. Now that I have finally got some confidence to voice my opinion I strongly advise to think carefully about sending your beloved child to this school. this is the worst school for bullying and teachers turning a bling eye to it. This stems All the way to the SMT they just don’t care.

    Teaching

    Level of teaching is going downhill, they aren't as approachable as they once were, a lot of them becoming very lazy. However, there is a few good ones who know how to teach and engage a class into learning.

    don’t care about students

    was never allowed inside when rained. the teachers didn’t care about bullying, only if it happened in public and effected their reputation.
