Half the teachers are sexist There are double standards overall it just promotes favoriteism

the teachers don’t care. that’s the thing. they don’t. all the school cares about is numbers and no school can be ‘great’ only thinking about numbers. i, myself, struggle with my mental health especially after lockdown. the right teachers have managed to support me in amateur selves but overall have not helped at all… i’d go as far to say possibly made some things (especially anxiety coming to school) much worst. some of the staff have no filter when it comes to students either, people get treated how you treat others. it’s simple; what the school doesn’t understand is if they treat pupils with respect they to will get respect. it honestly seems more like the school cares about wearing the wrong shoes or to much makeup to even notice some of the much bigger problems that are going on. from vaping and smoking in the school or to excluding 5 girls who previously the week before had all made suicide attempts for allegedly vaping in a changing room. i personally know all the girls, there good friends of mine… from as far as i know, they don’t vape. yes they’ll have the cheeky cigarette when we’re out but we’re teenagers. it’s normal. what’s not normal is how far the school can take things with no proof. or how they don’t care over extremely serious situations. 2 girls were sexually assaulted by a student outside of school, one of the girls VERY bravely had the courage to say something and the teachers had promised her to get police involved. a month later and she’s heard NOTHING. the amount of rude comments and bullying in the school is probably an all time new low, it almost seems as unless your screaming crying throwing up over something, they’ll just go on with there days. i (as a student) have whitenessed some absolutely vile comments being thrown at students or groups of students, racism homophobia and just point blank rudeness. hopefully this review might make some changes in the eyes of the teachers because no one can cope with the high demand of what the teachers are asking for. life is really hard, students are stressed and anxious. think about how you deal with situations, your not right about everything.

It’s an alright school but never focuses on kids mental health.
