    Hypocrisy

    Absolute joke, I have no idea how my children are getting on in lessons as end of year school reports are now 'One Word' labels that don't really mean anything for example 'Emerging' or 'Developing' and that is it! Considering all schools jump on the band wagon and complain about Ofsteds use of 'One Word' labels to rate a school I can't understand why they think this is an acceptable or informative way to write a report! They may aswell not bother with reports if they clearly can't be bothered t...

    Shocking school

    Shocking school. Im moving out of here. Teachers don't care about students. They don't care about your mental Health. All this school has bought me is stress and anxiety. Please whenever your applying do not sens your kid here.

    Terrible school

    Terrible school in general , to start of , they have a terrible punishment system , I know a girl who got beat up by a bunch of Retford oaks kids and they didn't even get detention and then they punish people for the pettiest things . The teachers are snobby and rude and they spend most of thier budget on getting the school to look fancy

    Great school

    Great school, this was a great 5 years of my life. Retford oaks handles the bullying situation really well and has a great system for behaviour. My only criticism is that many of the teachers appear very unapproachable and the student support situation needs work. Overall I’d recommend this school in a heartbeat as I made some great memories and have friends for life.
