Poynton High School

Where do I begin WELL poynton high school was the worst 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE This school has ruined me broke me and I will never ever forgive the people that made my life like hell don’t get me wrong some I mean very little teachers were nice but the rest we’re rude and had no respect for the students which is so wrong….. This school was the WORST school ever for mental health they would say yes let’s have a chat and you would be either waiting for a year or they would never speak to you because it would of been too late because you would of left school Mental health is apparently a big thing in that school but it’s sure not they preach and say never feel alone we here to talk but there never there they are hopeless and that is the most terrible thing for school they should be out there making there pupils feel welcome feel happy to come for school feel good about them selfs but no this school leaves you to suffer they are just the worst I can’t believe how bad they mental health system is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!!!!! So before you think of putting you child think about all the bad reasons and then you wouldn’t even want to put your worst enemy in that school Let me name a few - teachers are rude - mental health is shocking -the students are rude to eachother and don’t have respect -chewing gum everywhere on eg.desks (ewww makes me feel sick) -people act nice but there horrible -they also don’t do anything if your child is getting bullied Hope this put you sending your child here ALL I CAN SAY IS I WILL NEVER SET FOOT NEAR THAT SCHOOL AGAIN ???

got bullied, teachers did nothing about it even when i came crying to them (told me they would put me in seats far away from bullies in the second year, they didn’t act on that obviously, for the rest of high school). i gave up on talking to any teachers about my problems after that. now i have trauma and probably social anxiety, thanks phs ? certain teachers were really lovely, but they were one offs - just specific teachers that were nice people. there was no actual handling of issues. i witnessed other kids literally leave this school due to bullying. one kid left in her first year. another left around the third year, and one kid really tried to stay, but he got beaten up and eventually left. i literally saw him lying on the ground whilst a guy kicked him. also i’m pretty sure he was autistic, so that bullying might have had ableist motivations? either way, the teachers were not able to solve these bullying issues, so people chose to move schools. i didn’t want to tell my parents i was getting bullied, so i chose to stay and just suffer :)

Really bad with mental health and helping students. Would always be told to come back later and i’d be waiting weeks to see my head of year. Really poor in that area. Teachers were alright, some were amazing but some clearly didn’t want to be there and didn’t make an effort to help those who needed extra support.

The best school in Manchester!!!
