My thoughts
This school has barely any accommodation for autistic students nor bullied students instead of removing students for death threats,actions if harm and barely helps if a student comits self harm the only good thing about this hell hole is a small amount (4) members of staff that helped me through stress and peril in my years here

Honest opinion about this school
Staff is bad because they don’t care for bullying and mental health Outdoor is bad because they only have 2 stuff available football and cricket School information is inaccurate because of the form time Safety and sercuity is not good rarely any teachers inside at dinner and break

Despicable
Despicable staff scared of bullies condone it to avoid conflict children who don't want to go to school are picked up and taken home to keep schools attendance records good this should be responsibility of the parent to ensure child attends staff try to act like students safeguarding waste of space as is yr head this school needs a serious re think especially after all the bad press it's had over the years major cause fo concern and not fit for purpose unless you are a bully of course should change name to ormiston youth offenders if your child just wants to learn google would do a better job of teaching your kids than this school

About it

Best school
A very good school for children. Staff is cooperative and looking after the children. My child feels safe at school. One of the best school in stoke on Trent.

Do not recommend.
Teachers aren't the greatest. Bulling isn't dealt with seriously and the attendance rewards are rigged. Don't get me wrong some teachers are amazing and support you but some teachers make your secondary school life hell.

Avoid this school
Terrible, terrible, terrible school. The students are free to bully and harass, and although there are some exceptional teaching staff, the school is run on a 'head-in-the-sand basis, if the bullying isn't overt, it is allowed to continue. The school desperately need high grades to pull it out of awful status, so push the higher achieving students to the limit, student wellbeing doesn't figure. Sadly for the brilliant teachers, they will be judged by the low standards of others. Think very caref...

- Former Student1.011 May 2022
the most annoying school ever
the school dont take proper action for bullys they always threaten to put u in isolation all the time, they dont help with mental health,lessons are boring teachers are rude
- Parent3.09 September 2021
not the best
Every tiny thing done wrong results in children in isolation which does not help them at all resulting in stress and not doing work.Teachers can be rude at times but overall pretty fine.Bullying isn’t dealt with and students are just told to ignore it or see how they go along.
- Parent1.016 May 2021
Don’t go
They do not support within any mental health issues your child may have the teachers are Also sometimes weird to the children they don’t care about bullying they tell you To ignore it. Any issues they don’t help You with they hurt threaten with isolation.

Overall Review
The school does continue to educate the students even with the set back of the Coronavirus Pandemic. They do not tolerate bullying in the slightest manner, you are able to ask questions about your child’s education and their pathway/targets and what they can do to improve. Overall a good school, rough area, but good.
