Absolutely Disgusting

Headteacher sues parents with PTSD for exposing his narcissistic actions - leaving them reliant on food banks to feed their 4 children, due to having to pay thousands in legal defence bills. Poor, poor headteacher😡

stay clear of pensby

horrible place to be, school cares only about the kids they know will succeed and not about anyone else,constantly belittling kids they take a clear disliking towards,and kids with SEN and issues regarding mental health are not dealt with and made worse by teachers.

Endless!!!

Lack of empathy, care, acknowledgement, responsibility, poor efforts towards academic structure. (Minimalistic effort all round).

Abusive

Teachers have no regard for children with disabilities.
A child will need to use a a fidget toy to help them concentrate, and will explain this to the teacher. The teacher will then say "Don't use it while I'm talking", completely missing the point. A certain teacher will hurl abuse at students with disabilities and mental disorders that they are fully aware of. They will threaten the student that they will send them to an institution for, e.g., crying outside a classroom. Various classroom equipment such as pens will be thrown at students out of frustration. Bullying is horrendous, students will be ostracised and taunted at for their shortcomings in terms of school work and homework. If a student is upset and crying, they will be sent to the Student Support Centre, and usually ignored, and if they do not stop crying, they will be labelled as "hysteric". The tolerance for students with autism, ADHD, dyscalculia, dyspraxia and dyslexia are abhorrent, and they are treated as worthless, and as if they choose to not be able to function as a neurotypical child would. There is no understanding towards students who require extra steps to understanding the lesson, whether this be the need for fidget toys, music, doodling, etc. It seems that the phrase "It costs nothing to be kind" was thrown out the window. The school itself is filthy, with mould and dirt in corners of windows, making the school look hundreds of years older than it actually is. The teachers cannot be relied on to be teaching children correct spelling, the head getting primary school level mistakes in spelling, not being able to differentiate between something as simple as "sight" and "site". Students have been physically assaulted on school grounds, and action is only taken when a parent has to intervene. Students can call fellow peers homophobic slurs in front of a teacher, and nothing will happen. Decades worth of examples could be listed, but the overall consensus of Pensby High School is that it is nothing short of abusive.

Idk what this is

My Experience at Pensby

I like the people there, but most of the staff are really rude, horrible and mean. When girls are in their periods, even young female teachers, wont let them go to bathroom to change a pad. Or the no hands rule is stupid,when i need the toulet amd i put my hand they shout at me and tell me to put it down.

Improve pls

Doesn’t deal with homophobia or racism that well even though staff have clearly seen this occurrence. Some teachers are lovely but the system isn’t right.
