Redborne Upper School and Community College

I would honestly give it 0 stars if i could. My experience of education here was awful. I had reported something really serious where the police were involved. The student who did it to me got in NO trouble whatsoever. My rapist walked around school freely, while i was missing out on education due to having panic attacks in the pastoral hub - who, by the way, did NOTHING to help. On top of all of this, i had an extremely ableist teacher, who made a really horrific remark about my disability. the majority of the teachers leave the register on the screen, which shows all of the students personal details, like pupil premium or SEND. This is both a breach of GDPR and confidentiality. I really would NOT reccommend this school.

Absolutely terrible, do not come to this school, I'm still in year 10 and have made my mum's up about it, so many kids vaping, doing drugs and having s*x in the boys bathroom alone. Not to mention on the bullying issues... OH MY GOD! I have been bullied since age 4 by many people in my school's and going into redborne I thought "hey this will be a good change to my bullying issues"... I was incorrect. Pastoral wouldn't help even though I was going to them everyday, I got in trouble for running away from someone with a WEAPON and my bullying issues went from 10 bullies to half the boys in my year in redborne upper school. Recently I got assaulted by about 7 boys in my pe class, the teacher read looking and didn't do anything until I was being kicked on the floor crying out in pain. I never had an issue with suicidal thoughts but now I do... The only thing that is good is the food and I have allergies so my choices should be limited... Nope ?... Nicest school food I've ever had so if you have read this whole review, unless you are a foodie, don't go, please... I don't want anyone else to go through the horror of this accursed school.

Went to sex Ed, didn’t teach anything about being gay. Had to work it all out by myself, got there in the end

There is a huge bullying problem at this school as the teachers think that if the bully says sorry it’s ok to carry on. Few of the teachers I have had are caring but the rest only care if you have the necessary grade. Pastoral care is poor. One of the biggest problems is the management of the cues to the canteens- pushing and shoving occur on a regular basis. When teachers apparently do not have the ability to stop the physical assaults occurring in a supposed “safe environment”.

The bullying problem at this school is terrible, some of the students seem to have absolutely no human decency or compassion at all. The pastoral care is ok but don't really do anything to help even if a student is in crisis.
