    DONT DO IT!!!

    Sent my son to this school and he didn't last 6 months, constantly bullied to the point he was wanting to end his life, constant calls not returned, emails not replied to, never got time for a meeting, when they do get back to you it is only because you have chased them up a million times, one of the worse schools out there, my boy has now been taken out of their school and I would never send him back

    Horrible school

    Very bad school. Teachers cannot even handle a class of children correctly which is embarrassing. Bullying does not get handled well at all leaving the victims feel unsafe and scared. Teachers lack respect of students and don't help if you're struggling. Would not recommend unless you want your child's mental health ruined and their education destroyed.

    My review

    I used to go to this school for a year and that year was the worst year of my life, I got bullied a lot and when I told the teachers they tried to fix everything by making us write on a sheet of paper what happened and then told us to not go near them which just made things worse. I will say though 3-4 teachers there are really kind and helpful but this 1 teacher I remember (no name) used to be the most racist teacher ever she would scream at me and my friend for the smallest things and always shout at us for nothing while all the other kids would be screaming and shouting she would only treat me and my friends like shit just cause we were Muslim there. I would be honest if u aren’t Christian and white skinned DO NOT go there Because the 5 things u would get 1)Racist behaviour 2) wont learn anything 3) ruined mental health 4) depression 5) ignored so if u wont want that don’t go there thanks for listening to my story in this high school. Just to let you know I went through all of this last year in year 7-8.

    Rubbish school

    Please do not send your children. For their sake, the teachers do not care about anyone but themselves. I’ve seen a girl start seizuring here and the teacher just looked at the poor lass and left her

    Bad education,Racism

    This school is absolutely terrible I recommend no one coming here because it is like a prison and the dinner taste of shit and teachers cant handle bullying and most of them are racist treating the catholics better than the muslims and giving them a hard time.the education here is terrible because students walk out of classes and teachers cant control the students and they just walk around doing laps and interupting classes meaning no body can learn and giving the students a bad future one day i hope this school will shut down.

    The worst school in Blackburn

    Don’t choose this school I was bullied for 4 1/2 years until it stopped you get supplies at least once everyday and the school dinners are rubbish they serve the portions like it’s for a year 4 pupil

    Waste of time.

    Terrible at sorting out bullying,I was bullied for 4 years before anything was done,and my next door neighbour had the police called on him by the school due to an issue that began with bullying the school knew about and didn't sort. they also mess classes around with different teachers and rooms.
