Severe lack of student support
I left school with good grades and a great work ethic, but at the cost of my well-being, having attended nonsuch from 2012-2017 Such a high performing cohort leads to an incredibly competitive and pressurised environment, which in turn massively impacted the mental health of many students. During my time there, there was a general ambivalence amongst staff towards supporting students, and a lack of interest in individual characters, but rather ensuring each student produced high grades. I was...

unreasonable school
As a treasured ex-member of this prestigious school community, i find the staff to be extraordinarily frustrating. Due to the extensive amount of homework and busy schedule, I simply get to rest and it drives me and my fellow peers insane to be surrounded but such a stressful atmosphere presented by the teachers. There are short notice tests at least one a week, and unreasonable amounts of revision required. I am strongly against the gsce curriculum beginning at 11 years old, and even a-level ch...

Needs work
The grades are great. As it is a selective school the majority of students do amazingly in tests and assessments, but it falls flat on wellbeing and mental health of students. They are trying to improve but its not good enough. Racist incidents in the past have contributed to the school falling down the rankings as well. Most pupils at Nonsuch are good people, its the teachers that make it fall flat. Coming from a current pupil, I personally have not been the victim of any discrimination in school, but some of my friends have and its not ok.

Uncaring & Selfish
Teachers are uncaring and selfish. Throughout pandemic they made an excuse of not teaching the students. Teachers are uncaring and selfish and rot is too deep. Also, many believe the teachers are racists too and there was BLM protest in the school due to racism. If you can find another Grammar or if you can afford a private, please avoid this school. Do not go by GCSE and A level results, it is a selective school and gets the best students in the catchment. But thereafter the teachers add no v...

Good for grades, not for wellbeing
It's a good school academically, however there is a massive mental health problem that is overlooked. Some of the staff is a bit dodgy, however the chemistry department is very good.

It’s a good school but needs work
It’s ok, most of the teachers are nice but some really need to be fired and a lot more could be done to educate around more specific mental health needs (psychosis, eating disorders, bipolar disorder etc) and get some real support for people who suffer from them instead of just pointing them towards things targeted at anxiety and depression. But some teachers really need to be fired like very soon because everyone hates them and there should be more done to identify students who do well then randomly fall behind, check in on them and provide academic support for those who fall behind instead of just focusing on the really smart people which is what happens a lot.

Pretty good
It's a good school, like every school sometimes people don't fit in and well-being needs to be improved.
