Perins School

bullied all the time hurt and made fun of every day do not recommend teachers do nothing at all to help

Perins school,
this school is alarmingly wasting money on unreasonable projects, yes the drama productions are good and give students an opportunity to express themselves but
the production have been sending the school into debt every time. Not every student likes to participate in creative arts and are suffering the consequences on their interests E.G. arts, photography and even being a sports school the facilities are degrading in quality. The gym and equipment used is old and breaking, and yes I know it is because of students but the could at least spare some. Not to add the special education help is next to nothing, unless you are specifically disruptive or low functioning. I'll give this school a 3/10 being generous

Dont come here! The school itself is pretty bad, its not clean at all, buildings are a state. So much drug, vape and sex issues. Teachers dont help with any problems, they will talk to you about it and make a plan to help and say it will be sorted for the beggining of the following week but nothing ever gets done. They say that you never spoke to any member of staff about your situations when you did just to get you in trouble. Education is so bad like actually get teachers that can teach not ones that dont have a clue what they are doing. Teachers swear at the children sometimes even over minor issues. The students go around stealing things from people too. The school website makes the school seem really good when in reality its the worst. Just stay away from here.

Pros:
-A handful of good teachers
-More Inset days + 1 week extra off during October half term
Cons:
-Cannot help with any form of mental health issues
-I once vomited and they just said it was "emotion related"
-Overpriced food
-Will refuse to let anyone use a toilet during any period, only letting you use it during lunch/break yet most toilets have been locked due to vandalism
-Toilets are disgusting to use (Vapes in toilet, Food in toilet, Unflushed Faeces Left in toilet, Batteries Left in toilets ect;)
-Toilets are flooded with Y9-11's Vaping Basically making a school Nightclub but instead of smoke machines it is vape clouds

I have allergies and, after a meeting with the head chef, my food is all cooked separately to avoid cross contamination. I owe a lot to my tutor, the chefs and all the tech teachers. Almost all of the teachers are awesome, there’s just one or two teachers that aren’t the best.

As a past STUDENT looking back the head teacher really messed up the school. Sadly, he is very focused on the image of the school, so much so it goes against focusing on the education, and he still is doing the exact same thing there. What I am about to say is a FACT not an opinion. While I was at school, he decided to buy a lot of TVs to put on the walls to display various things like quotes and videos when people visit. He decided to do this when there was multiple problems, one being the sewage on Eliot (a building) which exploded in the art room and ruined students artwork. Also a drip which never got fixed in the middle of the hallway which I hope was only water. Also while being there, there was a ridiculous focus on the uniform. I understand that people need to wear the right uniform, however still in 2022 In a heatwave of 29c he is forcing boys to wear trousers. In my opinion, and a lot of parents on Facebook, that really is worrying. And more, he sends people home if they don't want trousers. Denying there right to stay cool is one thing, but disrupting their education for a perfectly reasonable thing to wear in that heat really shows the priorities. Once I got a call home and taken out a lesson for wearing a white sock.... Luckily a lot of teachers I had were really good, and you could tell some of them maybe didn't agree so much with the head.

Education is pretty okay. Got us through gcses alright i guess. However their actions towards bullying specifically surrounding homophobia and transphobia is utterly shocking. Apparently has gotten vaguely better since i left, but while i was there we had transphobic teachers and therefore students were even worse as there was awful punishment. this made the learning environment awful. Everything else was fine and as you expect of a secondary school, none of them in the hampshire area are much better. But the experience i had with the students and the staff was not great at all and ruined my secondary school experience. plus staffed seemed more focused on students meeting an original grade prediction and after you met that they stopped pushing you to go further because it had ticked a box on their list to make them look good because we had met what they said.

Left this school during year 8. The leadership team are a waste of oxygen. People smoked down the end of the field every day. Quite a few teachers left in the 2 years I was there, from what I heard they got fed up of the people above them pretty quick. Seemed quite toxic for the staff to work there. Oh and if your bullied or have problems with other people, nothing will change. They don't fix anything.
