Fuck this place don't go I hate it
This place makes me want to cry and kms. There absolutely not supposed for my mental health, they kept telling me. We'll come back to you and never do. These new locked door are. So fucking stupid
this place sucks man
would not recommend if your a parent who wants your kids to be well rounded people it a very isolating place , they go on about mental heath is important but they dont do anything about there students help theres no help i had to beg for a year straight for them to help me and all they offfered was counselling i was asked the first session on why i asked for counselling , i didnt it was all i was given only got 12 session the teacters i have for lesson are so much nicer about me missing classing and stuggling then the people in charge of being there for us they just dont care. do not send your kids here

New assistant head is hard to understand and wrote one thing on the behaviour policy but says another thing. Recently gave us a new behaviour policy that all teachers have a different take on
WHERE TF IS MY MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT?!
Does not take mental health seriously. Those words should be enough.
Absolute dump
If you like being harassed non stop for not wearing a blazer then this is the school for you! Hopefully you like smartarse teachers who go out of their way to belittle you as much as possible as well!
it’s okay
mixed opinions.
currently they’re handling the pandemic quite well but lack sympathy. care more about correct pe kit than depressed teenagers. they lack understanding of how hard it is to complete deadlines and set too much work to complete and still get a decent nights sleep. teachers seem to be exempt from the one way systems and staying in the allocated zones, they’ll happily walk down the rows with no mask on touching students belongings. genuinely need to get some training on mental health issues and how to support people who are depressed and suicidal, which i’m sure majority of the students are.

This is an understatement
Mark Rutherford makes little to no effort with students, only focusing on getting good grades to show off with. They do not care about students mental health or wellbeing, of which I have suffered with fro years and they still haven’t picked up on anything. And lastly, they would care more about someone chewing gum than a depressed suicidal teenager.

Good teaching but the way teachers handle situations should be done better. The fact that not wearing a blazer can cause more punishment that racism is scary
