    HORRIBLE!

    Absolutely horrible! The students when in a heat wave are denied access to water or any form of liquids, are told they are not able to go to the bathroom even if its for hygiene reasons. Many of the staff constantly are rudely sarcastic and act out on the kids. What role models they are... do not send your kids here!

    BAD SCHOOL RUN DONT WALK AWAY

    They do nothing for bullies they push it aside and most of the teachers are sexist towards some of the girls in the class and favorite all the boys I'm saying this from experience as I'm a student of the school

    Slaying era

    I've met serial killers nicer than these slt staff, I get followed around it's honestly stalker behaviour. Ted bundy is nicer than the staff, it smells like dead rats, I've been mauled by the year 7 who thinks it's a furry and pisses in a litter box in the girls toilets. It's not on, sort it out. I also found nemo in my Radnor fizz, the donkey from shrek was wandering around and nicked my colliflower cheese that was rock solid anyway.

    Bad school

    Do not attend this school. They call police on their own pupils. Should avoid at all costs

    If you care, go elsewhere!

    I really care about my childrens academics and I’ve always said that if a child wants to do well, they will do well not matter which school they go. I’m now eating my words! I put so much into getting my kids to the top sets of high school that now they are there, this school completely fails them. My daughter gets so frustrated with the lack of teaching that goes on. The school is continually favouring the “naughty” kids. There are obviously kids that are doing well here, but our experience with the school is awful! The bullying is off the scale, the staff retention too! Although my daughter is in the top sets she will have to resit some of her GCSEs to allow her to be accepted on to the engineering course she wishes to do at college. Please look at your other options before deciding on this school and don’t fall for the sales pitch of the head teacher like we did, you’ll deeply regret it within 2 years!

    Mrs EL Green !!! Vile !!!

    I'm absolutely shocked by the behaviour of a teacher Mrs E.L Green . My daughter was poorly and she took it upon her self to decide she was OK. I didn't realise she was a doctor as well . I took my daughter home anyway because of the smug look on Mrs greens face. Then only for her to serch and contact my daughter the next day because I overrided her and told my daughter that her siblings were a pain in the arse !!!!! What has this got to do with her ??? I'm fuming ? and I want something done about this . My daughter suffers with her anxiety as it is . She doesn't want to go in school now and Now I have to send her in school upset . She was absolutely fine with school until THIS BULLY thought it was OK to make comments to my daughter in the corridors etc as she is going to her next lesson. Best of it this teacher does not even teach her !!!!!! Apart from that so far so good but I see this as she is now bullying my daughter because of her siblings who r let me add now 18 years old and 24 years old . My daughter attending this school is 11 years old . NOT HAPPY !!!! My daughter chose to go to this school alone as all of her friends went to haywood High. In the confidence she would feel safe and not bullied by and students let alone a teacher. Thank you !

    Not great, not bad

    I can't say it's the worst school in the world. Behaviour problems, but that's just any high school. Some teachers are great, some just not at all. Highs and lows

    Terrible!!!

    Poorly staffed. Very rude students with no respect or consideration. Some of the teachers should not be teachers as they’ve no idea how to teach children properly!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. ???

    Average School

    Average school. Some good teachers. Problems with behaviour management in classes. 1 teacher went off sick and was replaced with a poor teacher.
