    No discipline, poor behaving kids

    Kids frequently steal from shops on south coast road, and as an employee of one of these, often receive abuse from these kids, not at work but simply walking past the school where the children swear and tell me my job is a "sh*t place to work".

    Best 5 years Ever

    I had leavers day around 12 hours ago, and I must say that the 2020-2025 school years have been the best years of my life. The teachers were absolutely incredible, and the quality of teaching they all delivered was to a standard I'll never forget, and the same applies to the dedication of the SLT and the staff team. I genuinely can't believe that my time at PCS is officially over, but If you're looking for a school to send your child to, I would 100% recommend PCS to anybody.

    failing school

    the only good thing i could say about this school is the odd staff member that have hearts of gold. Sarah Duncan, Dawn Carey, Catherine Howard, Josh Woods, Stephen Ogbourne, Lauren Haywood, underrated Ms Hayhurst and a handful more… the teaching at the school is ridiculously terrible they’re extremely biased to pupils who may have been served with a silver spoon with possible career paths or enchanted brains, other than that… there’s not much good to say. i’ve watched them lie to ofsteds face ab...

    Rubish

    Rubbish school i was being bullied and me and my mum reported it to the school multiple times and the school did nothing the last time the bot bulling me said something i lost it and pinned him against the wall because i knew the school wouldnt do anything. I was suspended which is fair enough and was then put on a time table from 1.30-3 i had to stay in one unit and was not allowed to any lessons while the boy got 3 lessons in isolation for calling me a "fat c*nt" i was then told that due to this i was no longer allowed to sit my exams. This school has made me beyond miserable and has led me to try and end my life multiple times. This school doesnt respect you or your mental health. Definitely do not recomend.

    Horrible school

    Horrible school. Can't communicate to other teacher, students and parents. Sexualizing students. Female and male can't hold hands but the same sex can hug and kiss. Ive even witnessed same sex kissing and it being fine. Even standing close to your boyfriend/girlfriend is considered PDA. Homework is set online and most of the time you can't even write enough as it doesn't fit and they don't tell you about the homework so you miss out. Walking into school and being in school without a blazer resul...

    a money grabbing nightmare

    this hell hole of a school is disgusting I definitely would NOT recommend it, They won't lisen or do anything to help including LGBQ+ or racism or any other disrespectful treatment to that being, Not to mention they allow young smokers ad children to vape and smoke and more...The lunch and break line for food is like being in prison is the best way to state it and the amount of sexism and bullying that gets solved, The food tastes like chemicals and makes a lot of the kids sick although the cookies sometimes when they are not left to go stale like the rest of the so-called "food" at pcs, I close my statement with one statemant,I am a student with special needs and most still don't get realised or ignored as i write this in class i save this now.

    Bruh???

    Honestly there's not alot to be said about this school, bullying and LGBTQ diversity is so neglected by the school, they don't care about anyone except the SLT. Had my parents complain many times and its just not worth it, even they block teachers at the sight of it. The mess is everywhere I feel bad for those cleaning it, students bullying constantly and nothing being done. Rules are stupid occasionally, they lock the toilets too, even if you're on your period-

    No canteen, pupils have to stand and eat lunch.

    Overall it’s ok. However there’s no canteen for pupils to sit and eat their food. They have to stand outside and eat. In the playground there’s very limited seats so I think this is appalling. Also when my child asks to go to the toilet they get detention. It’s so hard to get to the toilets during break because the queue.

    Would not recommend this school. Heads of year 7 right now don’t sort out your problems unless you keep going to them and reminding them. And if they do sort it out it will be days later after you tell them.

    Mixed review

    It's a standard school but recently lots of good teachers have left. Lots of staff don't seem to care about the students mental health just what the GCSE results are. Our school is also so part of a useless academy to make all students act like robots. There are some great teachers but I'm worried about where the school is heading in a few years time.

    ERRR GIRLS??

    It's alright tbh but I don't think many of SLT acc care about you they just want their money. Some teachers are annoying but some are alright. Pe department are calm icl. Swale ruined the school #swaleout

    Some nice teachers. However, overall the school doesn’t encourage progress in the slightest. School runs with SLT at the heart of it, not students. Multiple occasions to praise teachers and not students. Majority of SLT are there solely for the salary. No democracy at all. Rules are made despite not making sense. Money is wasted in every possible situation. Swale Academies Trust are running that school into the ground. Desperately needs an OFSTED inspection.

    Pcs clean your mess

    This is a terrible school, the teachers are rude and unfair towards the students, they don't do anything about bullying and often don't treat situations in a civil way. Never send your children here
