Not great
Ratton school is awful at dealing with mental health and anything else to do with student wellbeing. Teachers immediately start yelling whenever anyone is misbehaving even on there first strike. This school gave me a horrible experience and I hated every second of it.
Not Good
Awful school. Most teachers are on some sort of power trip, the big high and mighties who don't listen to parents or students, they don't accept or respect other people's opinions/beliefs, especially if it goes against 'the norm.' They talk to the students like dirt, they issue detentions for pathetic childish reasons, they tear down students rather than build them up, they knock the confidence and self esteem out of them. They automatically assume if they dont get along with a student, their siblings are punished for it.
When a detention is issued, they don't tell the parents the reasons why, they just expect the detention to go ahead regardless.
Most of the kitchen staff are rude, and they too talk down to others, they are crude and disrespectful as are the majority of the adults in that school.
Very disappointed

Its just about bearable
This school is horrendous regarding support for mental health. Most teachers are shit, some are actually quite intimidating and scary. The other students here are absolutely feral. Kids literally smoke here and no form of consequence comes to them. To the teachers who actually do care, I can see the lessons are well thought out and sometimes actually learn stuff. Regarding mental health, I literally had more lessons based around nukes than mental issues. Quick point, you're not allowed to express yourself in any way. You're not allowed to have dyed hair, no nail polish, no extensive makeup, no fake eyelashes, you're only allowed to have one piercing in each ear and they have to be studs. The amount of unnecessary rules are insane.
Its kinda bad ngl
Its alright the teachers are a bit over the top and the education is horrible- literally every teacher there is such a hypocrite and they don’t care for children’s mental health and if ur hurt they take hours to attend to you even if it’s urgent
awful school
I left cause its pretty awful, no social distancing, no care for special Ed students or students suffering with mental health, do not reccomend!
Excellent School
Ratton is a brilliant school and has an amazing performing arts department. It is also a very accepting environment for young people from different backgrounds, genders, religions and sexualities. So far in my school experience, Ratton has really helped me develop as a person and i will be very sad when i have to move onto college at the end of year 11.
