    Serious Concerns About Bullying and Pupil Safety

    Please think very carefully before choosing this school. Don’t be misled by the “Outstanding” Ofsted rating — read the reviews and look at the repeated concerns about bullying, fights and pupil safety. In my opinion, the only thing that seems “outstanding” is the amount of concern surrounding bullying. Parents deserve to know what is really happening and these concerns need proper scrutiny.

    Very Serious Concerns About Safety at This School

    I strongly urge parents to think very carefully before sending their children to this school. Last year, my son was attacked on the main road outside the school by around eight boys. He was badly beaten and the school contacted me telling me to take him to hospital because he had been hit. The police were also called. However, I was later told by the school that because the incident happened outside the school premises, they were not liable. The boys involved were only suspended for five days a...

    headteacher

    head of year was ok but miss mcginty is a poor headteacher. she only cares about one thing- what ofsted think. She didnt give students study leave, then when they went home early or escaped school she would start complaining and crying. Dont you think you should just give the students study leave so then your not responsible for 3/4’s of a year group escaping school? She rarely interacts with the students. Doesnt care about the teachers and even though she might be a good person, as a person, sh...

    Please don't send your child here

    I would've given it worse than bad if I could. This school wears a mask of caring for students and effectively tackling bullying. In reality it doesn't, behind the scenes students get bullied, physically hurt. There are soo many fights happening at break and lunch which the teachers don't even bother sorting out unless someone starts bleeding or smth. No one cares it's just that perfect image they need. A lot of the students vape, harass ect and get away with it. Low-key the children themselves are bad, they act all Innocent infornt of their parents. E.g most of them come to school with a bare face and start doing make up before entering the school, some of the Muslim girls take their hijab off when entering, many of the girls also lift their skirts up purposefully. You can often find boys and girls checking out eachother but weirdly, I've even seen boys haressing girls. This school is disgusting, please save your child.

    Horrible,disgraceful

    Horrible school forget having a leavers because after going to the school for 5 years you dotn even get told your leaving. They just told everyone to get out. They dont care about the students at all and forget about mental health all they will give you is stress. Not to mention there is no non uniform days. And they dont know what fun is so dont think about going on any trips.
