Don't go here.
Just been here 5 years and oh my god. if I was dying and given the choice to redo my entire life to stay alive I would say no purely to not go back to this place. bullying and problems are everywhere and the best they can do is ignore parents and offer a 30 minute detention once which never solves anything. I was never listened too or cared for once and it was only in my final year i felt like I could finally breathe clean air again. not even going to mention the stupid and pointless rules. back...

Supportive of Racism, don't recommend.
Permitted racism towards my son. Another kid called him a member of the 'Taliban' and the school said the kid wouldn't be in any trouble. Disgusting.

Outwood is bad
This school is a borderline dictatorship us students are stripped of our basic human rights, like we’re not in 1870s for god sake. Dearest regards Lewis eyre

great school, wouldnt want to go anywhere else
positives: -good environment, very little bullying -*mostly* great teachers -*mostly* very helpful and supportive with learning negetives: "interesting" rule choices: -no standing up and eating under penalty of isolation -no walking in the hallways at lunch or break -not allowed on the grass at lunch or break -school food changed to have little variety and the queues are poorly managed so if you want food you either wait 15 minutes or resort to pushing in like everyone else -i am told to revise...

think twice terrible school
I am very disappointed with this school, the big problem with the school is lack of communication, which in turn the causes problems to exculate, Then they try and lie about the situation to cover up mistakes. I'm not one to leave such a bad review about a school, I have had four children, and this particular school has be the worst school I have ever sent one of my kids to. My child is in there last year, and the mental scars this school has left them with will probably stay with them for life. i know what your thinking why didn't you move them. The school itself was ok when the headmaster was running it things got sorted but now he isn't there its a disaster.The last 2 years the school has gone downhill rapidly have had to put so many complaints in about this school. I would think twice before allowing your child to go to this school ask around, do research i really wish I had.

Strict
Too strict. Constantly on the students for the stupidest, smallest things; wearing studded earrings or even having a bobble on their wrist.

Won’t let students eat while stood up
They won’t let students stand up and eat outside and the punished if they do it’s not an nice or welcoming experience when members of staff are watching your every move
