Rayner Stephens High School

??I was a student here starting in Year 9, but I only lasted a few months before I had to leave for my own sake. Honestly, this school is a joke. The teaching is rubbish—half the teachers don't seem to know what they’re doing, they can’t control a classroom, and they definitely can’t keep the kids quiet. No learning actually happens because students are constantly rocking on chairs, swearing, and literally getting into fights right in the middle of class. The kids there are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. I don't know how they were raised, but the bullying was constant. I dealt with so much racism just because my skin is darker, and everyone was so rude that it was impossible to make friends. Ffs they even threw rocks and pebbles at me and my mum once when she picked me up? THE WORST KIDS EVER. The worst part was the "support." When I told the teachers I was being bullied, they’d say they would help, but they never did. Eventually, they just stopped listening to me altogether. Even though I was a bright student and wanted to study, the school did zero to support me. I ended up leaving the school after crying to my parents every day, and it was the best decision I ever made. If I had stayed, I would have failed all my GCSEs and I definitely wouldn't be an engineer today. Don't believe the website or any of the fake good reviews you see. This school is a massive waste of money and resources—they might as well just knock it down and turn the building into a shopping mall. If you care about your education or your mental health, stay away.??

Our family’s experience with Rayner Stephens High School has been very negative. My daughter has been repeatedly pressured by teachers to remove her nose piercing, and she feels constantly overwhelmed by the stress and pressure created by the school’s environment. In particular, the attitude of some staff members, such as Miss Marshall, has added to her struggles instead of supporting her. As a hijabi student, she has often felt left out, isolated, and even scared of being on her own, which no child should ever have to feel in school. Whenever she tried to be herself, she was put down rather than encouraged, which crushed her confidence. She has also been picked on and treated unfairly, which has taken a serious toll on her mental health. Sadly, this has contributed to her falling into severe depression. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and respected at school. Unfortunately, our experience has been the opposite at Rayner Stephens. I hope the school takes parents’ concerns seriously and works on building a more inclusive and caring environment for all students.

Never go here to this school

Amazing experience go to this school it's amazing if deserves to be the best school in the UK. Thank yoy for being a food influence on my child

I remember my child needed support with her reading and the teachers were supposed to help her, but they never did. so, she struggled in math's and English and they didn't do anything when she was being bullied, I would not recommend taking your child there.
