Absolutely do not send your child here
Cannot stress enough how bad of a school this was, everybody I know that went to that school considers leaving that school 'surviving it'. Had a homophobic slur carved into my locker, they held an assembly on vandalising school property. Got bullied for years, several complaints were made; nobody ever helped me. I got essentially bullied by the headteacher in year 11, she'd single me out in the corridors to have a screaming match with me. Ive gone on a lot about my experiences but I can guarante...

Staff need gone
The school provides you with what you need and ultimately has all the recourses needed to pass your gcses. However teachers and SPECIFICALLY SLT staff have caused many problems to hundreds of students at that school, using power moves against students to seem as scary as possible to the kids who may behave badly. When getting in conflict with them they punish the students even when most of the time they do things to get a reaction out of them. When done so they remind the kids who the boss is to...

My experience
It has taken me years to feel confidant and able enough to leave a review for PGHS. My love for learning and overall confidence was broken during my five years here, with one member of staff stating I would never make it past collage. I have since graduated from a Russel group university ranked first in the country for my chosen subject and can now say that I understand what it is to be supported and reassured that I will succeed in life. If you are not sporty, musical or an A* student you wil...

AWFUL!
AWFUL! This school discards the students with bad mental health. When a student is struggling, they brush them off like they are weird. Don’t send your daughters to this school unless you want them to wind up into a pit of depression.

Good school for me
I go to this school and there is a lot of support for students. The teachers do a lot at lunchtime and after school to help you and make you more confident in learning. I have made good friends here and know they also feel the same.

Average school - At most
Not a great school, incompetent teachers who do not care enough about the students. Headteacher needs to leave as soon as possible as she frequently puts her students down and insults them. Hypocritical standards between teachers and students, often leading to detentions and several other punishments. However, they have great history and RE departments, who teach with enthusiasm but unfortunately these departments can't suffice for what the rest of the school is lacking.

Students don’t like it
This school was rated outstanding by ofsted however they are extremely strict and try hard to get rid of problems instead of working out why it is an issue. Isn’t as good as what people think it is.

stay away
i went to this school in 2014 and left in 2019 and i can comfirm that it is bad all they do is put grades over mental health and they always believe the other person ive been bullied for the most of the time when i was at PGHS and they used to punish me and they was unfair and one time i needed the toliet and the teacher didnt let me go highly dont reccomnd this school STAY AWAY and another thing they excpeted to do homework when they didnt even put it on show my homework.
