    Do not go here

    This school is genuinely such a disgusting place. I'm a current Sixth Form Student and it has not gotten better. Since Minerva has come to work here instead of Cavendish, it has gone down in quality. The canteen? Terrible. The teachers? Don't care. The rules? They care more about uniform than harassment and bullying. The Student Support? "Boys will be boys" was a response to a female student being assaulted. (Let's not forget "Don't waste the police's time!!" over a CRIME.) The support? Non e...

    Student report

    As a student at this school, I can proudly tell you how terrible it is. If you want your child to have good mental health and a safe learning environment, do not send them here. I was sexually assaulted in school and when I reported it, NOTHING was done. I ended up reporting it 7 times before bringing it to the police. After the police talked to the school about it, the head teacher said, and I quote: "Boys will be boys. Don't bother the police over this." It is disgusting. This school does n...

    Not very good, only care about homophobia

    Not a very good school, they only care about the transgenders, asexuals and LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+. I’ve experienced tons of racism and I’ve only been here almost 2 years. They do nothing about it? It’s really appalling to see that they say they care about students but yet they let racism happen.

    Terrible from start to finish.

    I have been away from this school for some time but based on other reviews, it seems that nothing has changed. My experience from years seven to eleven was challenging as I had to constantly overcome the demands of the curriculum and the teachers. For individuals who are struggling with mental health issues or have learning disabilities, I would recommend exploring other schools. Despite its shiny reputation, this school fails to prioritize the well-being of its students, focusing solely on acad...

    Awful

    Terrible school,a few good teachers,but the rest especially the women are dreadful. Petty unorganised and revert to screaming at pupils if challenged,in fact so vindictive that my child has been refused access to leavers assembly today,and we've had a phone call to say she's been " taking pictures" of her friends as these are the only memories she will have. A phone call fortaking pictures???? Do one has been our reply. Both my girls have attended this school and it has been a miserable experience for them both.

    Bad school

    Just a bad school. They did nothing to stop bullying and some teachers actually bullied students. It was the worst years of my life.

    Terrible

    The teachers do not take bullying seriously and are unable to control a class. Due to this, things get thrown around, people get beat up, teachers get verbally abused as well as students. Ever since I started at this school until i left, I learned nothing. Do not send your child here.

    Don't come here.

    Don't come here. It's a trash school that tries to make itself look great on the outside. They do absolutely nothing about homophobia, transphobia, racism, assault, etc. Many teachers are ableist, and refuse to change curriculum for those who physically cannot do the work. They don't respect personal space. If you are a child who is good overall, not necessarily brilliant or horribly naughty, you are invisible to the teachers. They all have clear favourites, and don't try to hide it, choosing in...
