    This school is the worst school I have ever been to. From the head, down to SLT, down to head of years and below, everything is bad. I go to this school. I have been racially abused 5 times and my Head of year only acted on 1 of them. The knly reason why she did was because I went to a SLT member who is higher than her. The other 3 times, She did nothing. I called the boy out for being racist and I get put into isolation because of it. The isolation teacher was being very rude and disrespectful...

    School

    The school is constantly making people write statements and do their job for them. You get sanctioned just for sticking up for yourself.

    Amazing but...

    Amazing staff members, horrid children. I have expeicned countless amounts of bullying from year elevens. I enjoy the lessons and teachers try to make the lessons really fun. The speed of incidents are dealt with amazingly and fast. The downside: Lunch queues are horrendous, yes its a school of 1,000+ but i sometimes go in at 10 past one! that gives me 10 minutes to eat my meal and dessert. Food: The catering team are lovely! The food is AMAZING and the midday supervisor is really friendly and kind. My most enjoyable lessons: The science department are lovely! The Languages department are also amazing, the Head Of Languages is very supportive if you have any issues.

    Horrendous and unsupportive

    The term 'All fur coat and no knickers' comes to mind about this school. Looks the part on the outside, but since the Head Teacher changed a few years back the school has gone down hill rapidly. My son received no support when he needed it, he was told that it is what it is and he left there with no confidence, suffering with anxiety and still having to deal with the consequences of that. I would not recommend this place, if it were the only school in the area.

    All fur coat and no knickers

    Absolute disgrace of a school. From the top team down to the reception, just awful. Rifled with bullying, unhelpful staff and a Head who seems clearly out of his depth. No care, no compassion and certainly no likeability The news letter promotes only the top athletic children and never no mention of children who may have achieved academically or those who struggle but have improved. Its a school for the elite children only, it's a school built on how it looks on the outside rather than how it actually supports the children behind close doors. I wholeheartedly do not recommend this awful place. My son is now having counselling as a result of being here.

    Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!!!

    If I could give this school no stars I would. This school looks the part on the outside, the reality is very different. A school plagued by bullying with unsupportive teachers when you raise concerns. It appears this school has not learnt anything from the poor little boy who took his own life due to being bullied there a couple of years ago. The Head is useless, stands around drinking tea but never engages with the parents. Emotional and Mental Health support of your child is non existent. Please do not send your child here!!! Awful place.

    Worst School In The Area

    The teachers are useless, not knowledgeable and rely on pre-made lessons. The senior leadership team will only act on something if a parent contacts them.
