They feed kids mouldy grapes

Absolutely terrible. Im a yr 7 student and the amount of fights and bullying that happens is horrible. For one, they dont even try to stop it and two even if they do try help it will still carry on. I bought a sandwich from the canteen a few days ago and it was out of date. I couldnt even eat it so i waisted £1.30 on something i cant even have. This is only the start of all the shitty things but i cant be assed to write it all. Dont.go.to.this.school!!!

I have no other words for this school other than , the way you treat students is vile!

Extremely biased and hypocritical consequences system: teachers wind up students and consequences are so easy to be escalated to “c5s” and exclusions. Teachers abuse the consequences system so much and it goes unheard. Refuse a request stupid or not? Exclusion. Say no but change your mind? Exclusion for refusing a reasonable request. Teachers do nothing but say it’s their school policy but will refuse to prove it in any way, because at this point they’re making it up as they go. Don’t see students as people and expect them to confine with everything. Not to mention that times we have got the police or a separate party involved to deal with issues that school refuse to deal with, have all said that their policy doesn’t even cooperate with the actual law, child safety, child wellbeing etc. absolutely awful school ran by the most corrupt school family. Not to mention uniform policy is sexist and aimed at girls the majority. School will always try to avoid dealing with bullying situations inside of schools with pupils they’re aware of, and will always get the situation swept off quickly with the pupil being bullied given a half an hour detention after school which is basically nothing. Outside of school bullying is what they deal with baddest, I know someone who goes to this school who was assaulted outside Tesco by students that go to the school and school said they can’t do anything about it because it happened outside of school, even though the students involved all go to the school! The learning environment is very unkept and messy, students and teachers have no respect for the buildings and conditions in and outside of classrooms is awful, especially toilets and the dining halls which aren’t cleaned as much as they should be. The outdoor environment being the same, unsafe (temporary fencing laying everywhere) site staff are unreliable and there is always some sort of building work going on, loud and distracting and can’t seem to escape it all. They claim to support and comfort students as apart of their mental health policies and all that, however they are awful at doing so. A friend of mine was having a mental breakdown due to her immense bullying not being dealt with and was issued a c5 (half day in isolation) for apparently skipping class! School won’t take the emotional side into consideration about any problem, complain why students are mad and angry when they read out consequences for this and that, it just all escalates so quickly and is pathetic. The people they employ shouldn’t be working with kids as most of them don’t know how to handle them. The school doesn’t encourage any sort of hood behaviour and is always going on about how many exclusions or detentions you got in a term and not how many praise points you got etc. they will base your personality of your consequences history and if it’s bad then they won’t see you as a human being but a threat. Theyre all biased and hypocritical and all bullies. Would avoid any school ran by out wood.

I don't know why this school gets mental health champion awards because it does nothing for the mental health of children all they do is push the kids away when they want help
