    WORST SCHOOL IVE SEEN

    As my experience in this school I think this school is absolutely terrible and unacceptable. Children treating teachers disrespectfully:for example the teacher tells the student to stop the student says " do U think I'm scared of u?" And I have other scenarios that include inappropriate language and a very hard ability to teach. I also seen a scenario where the police was talking to the child in the corner and the teacher was trying to teach while that happening. And I also seen where the teache...

    HORRIBLE PLACE FOR KIDS TO BE

    Worst school in Aberdeen to be at, Constant bullying and nothing ever gets sorted about it no matter how many times you phone the school and beg for help they won’t help you. The teachers shout at you for turning your head if someone calls your name, They are so impatient and tell kids to ‘hurry up’ and ‘move’ (aggressively) if asked to go somewhere. The kids at this school are so horrible. People get bullied for just existing and it doesn’t matter if you stay quiet you’ll get horrible names sho...

    not a good school.

    horrible school! kids constantly getting bullied, laughed at, name calling and teachers doing nothing about it. all the “slt” members are all full of them self and always useless. i would say it’s a HOME for bullys. i would never want to go through that experience again, ether will my child. 0/10 would not recommend uneducated staff and nasty children.

    Northfield is shit

    Do not put your kids here the school is shit, the teachers can’t teach and the students aren’t as bad as they make out to be. The teachers blame the students for everything wrong with the school but in reality the teachers will come over to you get in ur face you’ll ask them if they can move and they will start shouting at you and then you’ll be getting more and more annoyed and they will just shout at you telling you to go to there office when you’ve done nothing wrong. Sometimes you’ll get more than one teacher in ur face then you get made to apologise to them it’s not fair. You can’t just blame the students when you can’t fucking teach. THE WORSE SCHOOL IN SCOTLAND !!!!

    Don’t put ur child here!!

    Northfield is an absolute shambles of a school, deputy head is a compulsive liar, said one thing about my child on the phone and then totally denied saying it to my face when the police got involved, absolute scum bags who think they are above everyone. Put my child who has seizures child at risk numerous amount of times also!!

    don’t put your kids here !!

    northfield is a bunch of sh!t , they don’t clean there toilets, there has been multiple occasions where bugs have been seen in the toilets, there’s like 2 bins for the girls bathroom so where are they supposed to put there sanitary products etc. the teachers don’t do nothing to help the students, half of them can hardly teach in the first place, deputy heads are even worse, teachers tell ur kids to go up to see ur depute but they also do nothing to help, mr watt the head teacher is excellent tho but the rest of the school is horrible wouldnt send ur kids here. the amount of bullying that goes on in here is atrocious they make people go home feeling crap about them selfs.

    If you care about your children, just DON'T

    My daughter was relentlessly bullied and assaulted repeatedly by the wayward offspring of pondlife drug addicts, the school failed to protect her or stand by its own commitments to pupil safety, along with other serious failures in the local authority which includes the desecration of human remains and the overlay of pure lies told around them, Aberdeen is not a city you'd want to be vulnerable or have faith in it's public services

    Worst school

    This school is the worst school in Scotland and you shouldn’t send your kid there , the teacher don’t teach your kids , they exclude the students for basically doing nothing wrong
