Worst 3 years of my kid's life but they got the grades they needed...
Ok for academic kids, not much else going on. Cold, sterile environment. Some lovely teachers but staff on the whole don't seem to know what's going on. High staff turnover. Lots of miserable kids roaming the site, not a lot of follow up or discipline once teachers know they're safe and on site.
I hear a lot of "worst 3 years of my kid's life but they got the grades they needed".
I got bullied by teachers and students alike - had terrible social anxiety and most staff treated me like a nuisance.
It’s ok if you fit in and are “normal” but anyone different will be bullied. Horrible place
The school is alright , it has a nice campus and the food is pretty good ( just get in line first to get good and not soggy cookies) the leisure center is kited out with good equipment (especially in the gym) and the leisure centre also has vending machines.the music department is good so is the art.but about 50% of the teachers probably won’t like you, even if you’re a good student. Sexual assault/harassment is prominent throughout the school . The school has put a front of equality (e.g school policy says that sexual harassment/ assault won’t be tolerated but do absolutely nothing about it , or extremely little. )Behind the lgbtq+ Pride flag the school reeks of homophobia ,transphobia ,ect. There’s not a lot to stop bullying and about a 1/3 of year 9-11 students really care about school. But a good thing about the school is that sports day turns in to a 2 day festival with charity stalls, music and more .
