Don't go.

Hated it so much I left before I could finish.

Literally any other school in the area is better. There's so many rules and the traffic thing in the corridors was ridiculous.

Teachers make us watch and listen to stuff about anti-bullying but do nothing about it when students actually go talk to them. ⁉️
Shush your silly little mouths and actually do something about it.

Also there's something about teachers at this school acting as if they're superior to humanity. Come on now. Get a grip, be realistic. You're a teacher. Nothing special.😐

Teachers tend to pick on quiet kids?? idk why they do this. There's lots of people who have their hands up. Leave the quiet kids alone. I promise you most of them are learning. They're just visual and auditory learners. Learn about different types of learners before you go into teaching. How is it possible that a literal student can identify them and a teacher can't. Not good enough. What did they even learn in their teaching courses.

Let's attack school uniform. Skirt length is insane. Most girls switch to trousers. My trousers were apparently too short cause you could see a bit of my ankles. They brought in other teachers to examine my trouser length as well cause they weren't sure if they could see my ankles. 😐 ..... Let's take a moment to think about this. Who in their right mind is gonna notice my ankles and get offended or go "wow😲 look at those gorgeous ankles😈". Also teachers are out here wearing short pencil skirts and heels. I can see your ankles AND knees. I've had enough. It's unfair. Either cover those up or let us have a normal uniform.

Pick up a piece of rubbish before you leave the yard or restaurant. WHAT. I didn't even eat at school so I brought rubbish from home just so I could get out and go to class.

"The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do." You think you're funny. Who do you think you are. The bell goes and I'm out. I have a bus to get. And you have no right to stop me.

Toilets. "You should've gone at break." Didn't know I had to pee on command. I didn't need it at break, I need it now.

Assemblies. Yapping for half an hour, and for what exactly? What point are you trying to get across. What I'm getting from this is that I could've slept a little longer. (Their ridiculous teachings had people falling asleep.)

This was my daily routine in short. Wake up, go to school, go home, eat, do homework, go to sleep. Geniunely. We got homework every single day. We had 2-4 lessons every day where we'd get homework. If I wanted to do something for myself my sleep schedule would go 💥💥.

They say they're preparing us for life. I'm out of there. I'm in college. Life is great. Idk why I got put through hell to prepare for heaven. (Obviously not heaven but compared to our lady's it might as well be.)

There's so much more but I'm tired. Our lady's is horrid.

It’s. Not. Fair.

I’ll use the best language i can to describe this place, i’ll need a cleansed soul to do so. I’ve gone to this school for years and the amount of issues i face daily because of what goes on there is shocking.

First of all, the insecurity i face. The school uniform makes me feel terrible- long skirt makes me feel overheated in the summer, it makes me feel unsafe too because of the fact the king skirt is there to control people looking at me if i had a short skirt? Seems kind of weird. In fact, it’s almost self explanatory that if a school has long skirts theres some sort of uncomfortable activity occurring.

In addition, the no makeup rule just tops off the insecurity. Not just because of the fact we are teenagers facing the MOST IMPORTANT AND INSECURE times in our lives and we can’t explore with makeup and try out our own things, but i’m more obsessed with how i look at school than what i do. my mental health has decreased SO MUCH over the 3-4 years i’ve been here because of facing insecurity due to this stupid rule that seems to have NO ISSUE at any other school. Not to mention the fact the popular girls get away with caking their faces and the teachers don’t bat an eye out for forbid i have left over mascara on from last night.

Speaking of the unfairness, the female teachers should just ADMIT they favour the loud, obnoxious white boys. For example, in my maths class there 3 specific boys that shout, talk, moan, chew, punch, shout out answers, don’t write in their books, don’t do homework and LOTS MORE- yet, my maths teacher doesn’t look their way other than to laugh at something they have said. But god forbid last week when i missed a homework i was absent for when set and got a detention when i’ve never done anything wrong in class EVER.

Further more, the RACISM and SEXISM and HOMOPHOBIA that happenes BLATANLY infront of teachers is shocking. Yet i, a gay, tell someone i’m gay and get a lunchtime detention- and i wasn’t allowed to defend myself because it was “answering back”- HOW FAIR!!

The teachers ignore everything that goes on on the yard- cutting in the line, water being dumped on innocent girls, fights on the football pitch, people on their phones, vaping and more.


The one boy in the bathroom at a time rule that i’ve noticed aswell is disgusting and unfair.

Bathroom breaks are denied.

My head of year is a despicable witch who feasts off of fear.

The only education this school has given me is that there is only one right answer, get it wrong and you’re punished and that working i played NOT with groups is the only way that works which is NOT the right message to bring to the outside world.

This school needs to make serios changed or i’m not going to see it to my GCSEs- i’ll be dead or left.

this school has taught me to not tell adults my problems because they will not help me. they ignored my request for an autism diagnosis and referral to camhs. the teachers single people out and are purposely rude to children they don't like. teachers talk down to their students and i was personally backed into a corner while being shouted at things like 'this is malicious and deceiving' when i got a haircut.
