Scam Organisation

Hey, when are you guys planning on shutting yourselves down for being a front for a massive breeding-ground for abuse and targeted behaviour, being the school equivalent of a ponzi scheme, and being owned by a corrupt evangelical corporation built on capitalizing on education with the sole intent of corrupting students futures?
For a bunch of above-average intellectual individuals, the teachers seem to distinguish their aggressive emotions in a rather harsh, but completely immature and insufferably childish manner. They also seem to feed on student reactions to their implied actions which is easily comparable to an emotionally distraught schoolyard bully.
I can attest to this since I attended, and when deliberately sat beside a troublemaker girl who was far more focused on trying to stab me in the head with a compass than learning about science, reporting the issue resorted to the teacher garnered the response: "Well you probably asked for it."
It's genuinely disturbing how few teachers here are able to think logically, or have a civil conversation with a student, their main goal is to be as argumentative as possible even when the student is right or put into an unfair situation caused by somebody else. It's bizarre and really concerning when you have teachers who take pleasure in beating someone half their age down by telling them they'll "never amount to anything in life" and that success is "our way or the highway".
Wintringham neglect basic understanding in fair and unfair to the point where they deliberately turn a blind eye to physical violence conducted by the teachers THEMSELVES. Gym teachers and PE teachers are specifically guilty for this, finding enjoyment in purposely riling up students who suffer learning delays and can't control their emotions, leading to lashing out and shouting, in which students are put on the floor or restrained.
I think I speak for everyone when I say this school is probably one of the worst in Britain, and it's not like they don't have the money to fix this either, their building and establishments are one of the biggest I've seen in this town, but they would rather spend more time focusing on useless and childish adaptations to their establishment, instead of genuine student-welfare or mental-health programs with REAL professionals, and making sure to conduct legitimate background checks to determine whether or not a teacher is to be trusted around vulnerable pupils, because clearly if you're allowing staff to physically strike 13 year olds, you need to start questioning yourself and your morals. That's all I have to say.

Terrible school

If you genuinely want your children to develop ptsd and be on edge for the rest of their life, send them here!

Average secondary experience

It's okay. Not exactly phenomenal. Some teachers are really good, others kinda bad.

Exposure and Truth

The school does an immense job at covering up abuse and refusing to deal with serious issues that have been reported. I'm not just talking about the standard bullying, the teachers bully the students. I was told by numerous teachers I would never make it in life from this school alone. A male head teacher implemented rules and regulations that turned it into a prison. I heard after I graduated, that a PE teacher assaulted a child, and to be honest, looking back at it now I don't find that very far fetched by the way of his previous actions. One of the female science teachers taught us a dead study, specifically the one about "vaccines causing autism" which has been debunked many many times as false, convincing all the students that autism is the result of vaccination, further scaring them when jabs came up and causing bullying for people with autism. One of the male science teachers turned out to be a predator, and he's actually been talked about in many online papers and telegraphs, but literally no response or comment from Oasis about how they feel letting CHILDREN around this creep, I was literally IN HIS LESSON when he told us he bought chocolate for girls. They tried forcing me to wear a ribbon pin wiyh a jigsaw pattern, which is an outdated autism pattern now associated with hate groups such as Autismspeaks, when I took it off I got penalized, the pin was basically a target for anyone to bully, so of course I'm going to disobey wearing it. Wintringham had this pathetic attempt at combatting bullying, probably because they were too lazy or understaffed to deal with it themselves, so they elected certain students to be "bully buddys" who are meant to sort out the issue between students, however none of them even do the job properly, they all abuse their position, they're favouritist, they excuse the fact that they can't deal with an issue by saying "I didn't witness it so it didn't happen."
Any parents reading this, feel free to send your kids here, but know you'll be subjecting them to irreparable psychological damage and longterm trust issues. I had to go to therapy almost 20 times because they did so much harm to me during a time when I was vulnerable and my family was deteriorating.
Don't trust Oasis and their practices.
