    PLEASE READ THIS FROM AN ACTUAL YR 11 STUDENT IN 2023

    I was a new student last year and to be honest I WISH I didn’t choose ratton. From my experience there are so many teachers who are just not good at teaching but at least there was like a good 3 teachers who I actually enjoyed their lessons. Another thing is that they only allowed students to go to the bathroom during break and even then you probably wouldn’t get a chance to go because of the long queue, and if a teacher lets you out to go to the bathroom you last hope was the disabled toilets w...

    just about bearable

    This school is a terrible place i would reccomend for you to put your child through this at all, Mental health is not cared for at all, Bullying is not taken to action, Teachers and Head of years mistreat the students and have no respect for them, Detentions are issued for an unreasonable reason, Kids at the school are absolutely vile, Kids smoke and vape in the toilets, There is atleast a few lovely teachers and a few nice pupils other than that this school is just about bearable

    #ratty ratton

    taster day and we had to play in a car park. 134 pieces of gum under the table and the toilets are like public toilets with poo on floor, wee on walls with some psycho moaning in the cubicle and the bells go at like 300 decibels and sound like fire alarms and give you heart attacks. just gonna tell you a teacher went to prison and will be released next year. (2016-2024)

    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 s...

    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.

    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.
