Pudsey Grangefield School

Liam Butterworth stinks.

Bad food bad teachers (it’s only ms dove and mr Grieg) and they learn nothing

Very few nice teachers Give dt’s/negatives for nothing Say we can’t go to toilets during lessons but there are very few open at lunch and break No fun lessons No trips “Rewards for good behaviour” not Fights every day Teachers shout at kids (11-16 year olds) Rude for no reason And more

The school is very well equipped with a great selection of teachers. The only major annoyance for me recently at the school is how strict they are about rain. For instance recently even if you have a coat, you have not been allowed outside at break and lunch if it’s raining, but because 2 years share their lunches with each other, everyone is very cramped inside and a lot of people end up being stood up meaning sometimes you aren’t able to properly eat your lunch because of this. Another example is with PE. I know that some people don’t want to be wet for the rest of the day, but because there’s a lot of rain in winter and students in higher years use the sports hall for exams, there are many times when rather than doing any physical activities, you spend the lesson in a classroom copying down words and their definitions all lesson. As I said, I understand the issue that some students do not want to get wet, but it should still be an option to go outside and do the physical activities. Obviously people on the courts would have to go inside because the courts would be too slippery and too easy to very badly injure yourself, but getting muddy isn’t an issue because there’s showers within the changing rooms and slipping on the grass shouldn’t be an issue because everyone has football boots and you end up on the ground a lot anyway when doing an activity like rugby. This means sometimes (like last year for me) you only end up having 1 or 2 lessons on a sport rather then the amount oh oh usually get, and spend the rest of the time indoors

The school completely disregards mental health issues and hasn’t an ounce of empathy, despite the number of supportive staff throughout the school. the entire teaching staff seems to has its priorities in the wrong place, focusing more on the look of students then their well-being and academic success. personally it appears that most teachers have an emerging superiority complex with the ounce of control they have over the students. the building is rancid with sexism, racism and homophobia. creating an unsafe environment for black, female and queer students

There are a few nice teachers but they are a lot of ridiculous rules and negative points are given for no reason and alot of people like me are scared of said rules or they have given up and dont follow the rules. The principal dosent interact with the students and the people running the school have no idea what the students want/need they only care about Ofsted results and uniform.

im currently in year 9 at Pudsey Grangefield and this school is average at best. half of the teachers are nice to students and negative points can be given for the smallest of reasons

Currently in sixth form and have attended this school since year seven. I have enjoyed being at this school quite a bit and have had good teachers who not only teach me well but have supported me too. That being said the actual year leaders could do a lot better in supporting students and their mental health, there isn’t much support for those who are struggling and I think that needs fixing. In terms of sixth form, the teachers and lessons are good, there are multiple places to work however the library tends to always have multiple broken computers. The sixth form is however over subscribed and we have been informed there will only be more arriving next year and with a lack of seating being an issue already I am quite concerned with what will happen next year. Overall though, I have performed well at this school and enjoyed my time here and I definitely do believe it is the best school in the area.

Great school, polite, well educated teachers, and I believe they have a great curriculum, I am in year 11, I am also waiting to do my mocks and GCSE exams, I am really hoping that the school will stay open so I can achieve my wanted grades. I also hope this will be the case so every other student gets the grade they deserve.

I have been to a previous school in year 7 before Pudsey Grangefield and I am now in year 10. This school is a great choice and currently has the highest health, behaviour, free school meal plan, and best arrangements for difficult times such as Corona virus. It's a very good school. I recommend it.
