Mount St Mary's Catholic High School

SECURITY AND TOILETS I’ve just left this year.First off i just want to say the toilets in the school are the worst thing ever boys side their is always urine on the floor on the toilet seat. Then poo in the toilet not flushed. I’ve not heard much about the girls side but I’ve heard it’s bad too that there is period blood and pads stuck on the wall.The security is really bad it’s a small gate an aggresive dog or a person with a knife or a drug addict can come in and endanger the school. Also someones kid has jumped the gate before.Fights are not as bad anymore but there is still bullying, cyberbullying, you’ll get laughed at if you don’t have a certain thing. TEACHERS: The teachers are ok MR THOMSPON business teacher he mocks students if they don’t get the answer right and will call you stupid or dumb. If you pick business in year 9 pray you get mr stockton the english teachers have favourites. Pick history instead of geography worst mistake of my life. Pick any other school than mount St marys pick Ruth gorse or something. P.S they removed the chips for fish& chips Friday because students were taking too long to eat their food. And it’s also pizza almost everyday.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE KIDSSSSSSSSSS AND IM RACIST AS HELL AND I DONTTTTTTTTTTTTTT CAREEEEEEEEEEEEEE ABOUT BULLYING AND DID I MENTION THE PAY? THEY DONT PAY US PEANITS TO TEACH AS THIS RUNDOWN COUNCIL SCHOOL

They care more about your coat being worn inside than your well being, also they never hear your side of the argument.

This school is horrible I still attend this school and the teachers are rude and disrespectful and do not think about students wellbeing it’s unsanitary and it’s very draining they’ll make it seem good to you at first but when your there they’ll treat you like garbage it will destroy your mental health they only care about your grades and it’s very obvious the rules are stupid they don’t care about students opinions and they treat us like were there kids. There is a massive amount of racism In this school and it’s massively ignored sending your child to this school will only make them feel mentally exhausted

Nice school really safe school and brilliant

I attend this school its not bad I guess very cultural however this many racist teachers in this school I will not name names but there is a lot of racist teachers here. the school its self is good but can be better.

This school is not a safe place. Gangs of students roam the corridors and outside spaces and hunt down white students.

Very wonderful it's inspirational and very kind to their students I think this school should get a very high rated

MSM is absolutely shocking They get the best GCSEs ONCE and they think they’re amazing but it’s MSM in cross green a proper shithole Teachers are awful but you do get the genuine nice ones and they are greatly appreciated by students They have such dumb rules that are really unnecessary for example vapes every teacher knows students do it but still take such an extreme approach about it like the students are gonna listen I really would not recommend sending your children to this school I have had such a bad high school experience here and would not want anyone else to feel like that so do your kid a favour I’m still surprised that this school hasn’t been closed down yet it is in such bad condition along with the old church next to it. You won’t make your way in MSM if you aren’t a bully, popular or good looking

This school is so nasty to students now like when you have a problem with people no teacher listen at all it is very appalling . Like when some fat shame others being assaulted by other students and racist comments some teachers saying inappropriate to student when you report to a teacher they never do nothing . Stupid rules no coats instead when it is cold , to ask to take your jumper off when it a summer weather, what is the point , teachers don’t care about mental health or anything they say to come in when you don’t feel well but they don’t do that so I would never let my children to come to this school or it will be burned down anytime soon

This actually is a really good school it offers many things that other schools don't and you don't need to be popular just to fit in I am a student and they are very welcoming when I was in year 7 everyone wanted to meet you the only downside is that the uniform can be really itchy and uncomfortable I saw some of the classes do a play of high school musical the singers were amazing and the school band were fantastic! I love this school this is my opinion and other people's have theirs. The only reason why its average is because of uniform but a tip for that is to go online and ask for something a bit bigger than ur size when I say a bit I mean a tiny bit.

Racist school, teachers as well. My daughter was assaulted by other students, called WHITE BITCH, her phone was broken, she had bruises all over her body including head. School didn't even ring for police, they only suspend other students for 3 days and that it. My daughter don't want to go back there, everyone laughing at her etc as "popular" students making stuff up at her . THE WORST SCHOOL IN MY EYES

Teachers not letting go to the toliet even if you need it, not going to mention names but english teacher in english isnt good

A lot of people would disagree with me, but I feel like this school is pretty good. On the positive side, they really care about your education the teachers will not give up on you and the care about your mental health, they give u support and let u talk to anyone. On the bad side, racism, homophobia, bullying is something they are not too good at dealing with. Also a lot of the teachers swear and say the n word and they get away with it, every time. The school really only cares about reputation but I can’t wait to leave. On the good side again, as naughty as u are they will give u a lot of chances they want u to succed. And back on the bad side, the uniform is awful. It’s extremely sexist too because on non uniform day girls are not allowed to come in skirts but boys can come in shorts, girls are also not allowed to come in shorts, we can’t wear any skirts or shorts in summer it’s so bad and we don’t even wear ties?? The uniform is extremely ugly and useless and it’s really weird how we can’t wear skirts but the pe skirts don’t go past our knees. About security too, there’s a little gate that kids slide under to run away, the security is so poor here anyone with a knife could enter school, once a girl that wore the uniform that didn’t even go here sneaked in to fight a girl. It’s not that bad of a school but just look into some other schools before applying here… Word of advice, u won’t make it if your not popular, a bully, or good looking.

My experience in Mount St Marys hasn't been the best, bullying was my number one thing because I was badly for about 3 years and some things got done but they never took me serious, they would always say "oh he likes you boys do that" but there was constant name calling and stuff being thrown at me to the point where I didn't even want to go there anymore and wanted to move. The second thing would be mental health, I know teachers are not therapists but we are just kids and were going through things but they never seem to help or care which makes it so much worse because they treat you like shit. The next thing would be favouritism and racism, the favouritism in this school is SO UNFAIR you make 1 mistake and your treated so differently, and some teachers either never speak to u or pick u for an answer you clearly know or will pick on u for an answer you don't know, not to mention teachers like Mr flynn and Mrs leigh, they constantly get away with so many things like Mr flynn's punishments are so unfair, once my friend got excluded for something that totally was not her fault but he decides to keep the same boy that always misbehaves and gets away with everything, and Mrs leigh has said the n-word about a thousand times and is still working in this school?? Next the bathrooms. I feel bad for the cleaners because people constantly trash the toilets and the boys toilets always smell like urine while the girls toilets always have pads hanging out the bins its unhygienic and disgusting, not to mention the fact that there's no wall in-between the girls and boys bathroom so we can all see each other. The teachers are also mega liars, they talk about how amazing this school is but we always have fights, and the uniform is so ugly, girls cant even wear skirts because of boys but its out fault? I wouldn't recommended coming here, so don't.

My child attended this school a 15 year old girl. She had a lady accident and asked her year leader to go home and changed which the teacher refused and said that staying at school is more important than my child’s comfort. My child felt victimised by teachers, the teachers shouted in her face and made her feel intimated and made her feel uncomfortable to talk to them, which is not a place or situation that I would like for anyones child to go through. This led to my child having problems in school and not having a teacher to talk to about it which escalated the situation further I once attended a meeting with the head of year and The approach they had towards me and my daughter was appalling and shocking.

It's a terrible, do not recommend. They claim to care about the children but they do not. They have favourites choose to be arrogant towards students. You used to be able to just go to toilet however they changed so you had to have a teacher go with you. I personally think that is disgusting and outrageous , as a girl that age can have period and may find it uncomfortable to have a male teacher there for them to finish. Adding to this teachers don't allow for girls to go to toilet when they need it aswell as boys. There is no privacy between the girls and boys toilets. The system just picks favourites and allows racists and bullies to have a second chance even after the most brutal comments and actions.There are kids going around saying the n word and receive no punishment the first time.

I recommend, mental health is spoken of often, you don't get in trouble unless you've done something and that's on YOU, hygiene around the building is good, teachers are nice if you do what they ask and participate in lessons and issues can be sorted out easily.

How on earth do you have a school of 60% minority ethnic back ground yet the headteacher is a racist? and so goes for the other teachers at this "school," if you'd even call it one... x

I went here for five years and it was a subpar experience. On the positive side, a handful of the teachers were super nice, kind and helped me improve a lot. However, the teaching in some subjects was insufficient and I had to teach practically the entire subject to myself. I got bullied during the earlier years and the “support” that I received for it literally just made it worse. A couple of the teachers in senior leadership had some sort of weird grudge against me and they’d glare at me in the hallways even though I was pretty much a model student? Among them there was also a lot of prejudice - once after an assembly about a fight the headteacher indirectly asked ALL of the black students to stay behind to talk to them, implying the that it was their fault. The school itself is really ugly in my opinion along with the uniforms. The school would also sort of peer pressure students into doing the sign of the cross everyday and to attend masses that they occasionally held even if they weren’t Catholic themselves. Overall, I didn’t really enjoy my high school years at MSM in terms of the school itself.

The sxhool is average. There’s bullying, sexual harassment that happens every single day. Racism by teachers and students that doesn’t really get sorted. People get bullied every single day and it’s never ever sorted. However student advocate are always there for you which is what makes the school average. There always there if you need a talk during, after or before lessons, even through emails you can make contact with them.
