my daughter went there 2 years ago some teachers are quite nice however some are not at all. they mistreated her most of the time and the welfare teachers always got mad when she came and needed help which was disappointing. the teachers are very strict especially the head teacher of science very disrespectful.

I DON’T RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY FOR NERODIVERGENT YOUNG PEOPLE.
Hi, I’m a student here and I have diagnosed autism and ADHD. I’m very high functioning so I’m closer to a neurotypical person than an actual neurodivergant person. I’m just really quiet if I don’t know you and have social anxiety is all, I’m not that retarded. However, starting high school, I expected the teachers to treat ne exactly like they would any other kid my age. WRONG! They treated me like a little toddler who doesn’t know what it’s doing. They infantalised me and underestimated me. For...

IF YOU HAVE NO OPITONS FOR SCHOOL, DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL
As a former student there, it has been the worst experience of my life, the teachers don't even teach, they just hand out punishments because another student distracted another, no real help besides google, the exams are horrible the students are extremely extremely disrespectful. Oh did i mention that students carry around knives? I have seen more kids in isolation then in the actual class, this school will never help you pass your exams, your stressed about the teachers giving you detentions and worried for your life because you may be robbed, horrible school, horrible management, and i hope this school dissolves because it is just a building filled with crimes.

Worst school ever
This school is not worth going to. Staff doesn't help you and teachers don't tell kids off forr being naughty. The headteacher doesn't know what she doing

A warzone of a school
Being a student there is honestly hell, the place is poorly maintained, janitors maybe clean one room or two rooms a term, there are some decent staff members but they’re all leaving because of mistreatment, the head teacher is rather blind or will fully ignorant to the problems the school has. You can barely learn in lesson as the teachers (if they’re not a supply teacher like they usually are) have absolutely no control over the students, they have no sense of order in place and when students are given a punishment for their behaviour it’s up to them to even go. Overall I wouldn’t want to send the child of my worst enemy here.

Soap Opera
If you want entertainment, youve found the right place - Pencil trays being dashed acrossed the rooms, phones being flung out of multi storey buildings, tables getting flipped, the place was a warzone. Ahh, good times. Oh and dont get me started on the rage and roaring sessions. If you want hollywood level entertainment. Oh boy have you found the right place. SOURCE: My experience

Would not recommend
I wouldn't recommend your child coming to this school. The other review called 'Miles better', I wouldn't be surprised if they got paid by one of the teachers or staff to say that. The new headteacher isn't 'leaps and bounds compared to the last', if anything the new headteacher will have to go through leaps and bounds to keep the school afloat. The toilets 'are being maintained', which ones? The ones that they put right next to the food department. Have they heard of hygiene? 'Teachers in each department are all very good', that's probably why a lot have left and some want to leave now. Some classes have had supply teachers for the whole academic year and some don't even bother to come into school. Overall, not a better school and I would not recommend.

Miles better
The new headteacher (dont know about the exec one never met em) is leaps and bounds compared to the last and the staff they’ve brought in are incredible. And with covid the toilets are being maintained which compared to before is a huge plus. And the teachers in each department are all very good, all with different methods, but all get the information across. Overall a better school than it was and hopefully keeps improving
