this school has been a terrible experience for me. i joined here from another school in 2022 as i had trouble in my previous school. when i looked around here i thought it would be quite good as they have lots of assemblies about kindness and they would preach about how they are a very respectful community. when i joined here the first 3 months my experience was not bad but after those 3 months i started to see the schools true colours. the bullying is the same as every other school but its not just the students, its the teachers too. i was very quiet in school but somehow still got harassed daily by teachers? they have no clue about boundaries and they are very narcissistic. i have quite a few mental health problems because of this school because of the way i have been treated during my time there. its not just me these teachers do it too, its a lot of other students too. it is very toxic there and you are treated very little and i would dread going into school because of it. sometimes i think to myself how that place is still running because it is a terrible place for a vulnerable teenager to be in. they are not how they make themselves to be on social media and websites it is all a lie. they say school is meant to be a safe environment but i have not once felt safe in that school?
The teachers are bullies, they don't listen. My daughter left with bruses and a scar.
They made up things to punish her and tried to kick her out for having additional needs.
NONE of her needs were met at all on any level.
Would put no stars if I could, the school needs to be closed down.
Absolutely gone downhill since I started in 2017. My mental health took a turn for the worst many of times because of bullying that was not being dealt with, lack of faith the school had in me because of my disability. The school changes rules without telling us and vaping and smoking has took a turn for the worst. There is not a single teacher that I would say i trust there and if there was a problem, I would rather suffer than be told it was in my head and my life cannot be like that. However, the kaleidoscope team are brilliant there, cannot fault them.
I have recently joined and think that its a really good school. At least that is my personal opinion as i have been treated with respect by the classmates and teachers as well. Students are really nice and i quite like the fact that i havent noticed bullying which i was afraid of as ive heard things from other schools. Generally a good school with good teachers, i would recommend it.
I am in Year 11 at Notre Dame and if you are thinking of coming here, you might want to change your mind. The staff here that I have encountered have done nothing to help my mental health and in some cases made it worse. The teaching quality here is poor and if I'm honest I dread coming into school every day
Awful school, teachers don’t understand how kids feel, the teachers are bias to the good kids and troubled kids get tossed aside and punished for things they can’t control. The teachers don’t think about kids triggers or anything
Have had a decent time overall, but homework once in GCSE's and A-Levels is a crazy workload. Most teachers are pretty good, but some teaching styles don't always work for me. (Learning from the textbook). In terms of other students, it varies: some are really nice and polite, whilst others are downright rude.
i hate it, they don’t know how to deal with mental health let alone other situations. i have gone to the school several times about my mental health and i got no help. Not to meant with situations such as girls getting beaten up, my friend was beaten by another student and the student was let off with just a day exclusion
I find school a safe place I can talk to anyone about anything. Any worries or doubts just speak to a head of house and your shouldn’t feel like that anymore
It’s a really nice school however teachers are always talking disrespectfully about students. If you need any kind of help with your mental wellbeing or if you are struggling they will call your parents and say your really naughty. They should really think about helping students. So an improvement they could make is teaching teachers how to handle these kind of students such as myself rather than making things worse
