Richard Lander School

realy gud scoool help me learned with maths and engerland

Suspended for doing nothing g wrong. The headteacher takes over psa where my daughter is and singles her out from all the other students in there. He comes up to her using a very condescending tone. Then he proceeds to tell her to get out of the isolation room where him and another teacher from SLT sit her down and talk to her basically ganging up on her. He is then telling her what's wrong with what she's wearing such as: nose stud and nike socks. She then folds over her socks to hide the logos and he has a hissy fit and starts shouting at her. My daughter then starts to cry and he laughs in her face. He then suspends her for 3 days and 2 days in isolation, then tells her to stand up. She stands up and he adds on another 3 days in isolation. He proceeds to call her names like emotional unstable and pathetic. Stupid bloody school

Whatever you do, do not send your kids to this school. I ended up having to leave in mid year eight as I was traumatised and having anxiety attacks daily. They will tell you your child is “refusing” to go to school when in reality they’re forcing students to suffer every day. Kids who struggle either end up being kicked out our having to leave and never get spoken about again so they can have their ‘perfect’ little school. Unless you can pay for years of therapy and medical bills for how they completely neglect any issues then dont send ur kid here

This schools sewege system is truly diabolical. The outside of the canteen smells like shit. There are rats living in the bushes in the courtyard and the teachers have yet to even address the situation. No only are there too many students crowding the corredors during change-over, but the canteen is always filled to the brim with people. The school is massively over populated and injuries occur daily from hallway-shoving. Not only is the condition of the school poor, but the senior leader team don't know how to do their jobs. They do nothing about bullying. The doors of the bathroom are locked at lesson time, meaning children have to spend up to 10-15 minutes waiting for a disabled toilet. This contrasts Richard landers claims to care about attendance.

Really obnoxious school. Firstly, they send home emails to parents when the child has done nothing wrong, and when this is followed up they state it as a "mistake" - this has happened many times and clearly just them thinking they can get away with it. Secondly the head of Towan community and many of the SLT staff bully children by singling them out in front of other students and making them a laughing stock to other kids. Lastly hair colouring rules and uniform is a pisstake, the colour of the kids hair or what socks they are wearing should not be what takes up their learning time. Do not go to this school

It seems obvious that most of the negative reviews on here are from those students who are just not interested in their own education, or anyone elses for that matter. Probably classroom disruptors and those who are definitely shooting themselves in the foot and will stand no chance when it comes to their exams or finding decent employment. Sadly the kind of people who in a few years will realise what they have done to themselves and will then have to pay extra to get the exam results they could have easily got for free at school. That is those who can be bothered! Any student reading this please think about your future and not your ego within your friendship groups. they laugh at you not 'with' you. Think about it!! It is your life you are ruining, and just for a laugh at your own expense.

As a parent of a child at this school iam not impressed with the quality of this awful place, constantly asking for money and improving nothing! The head is evil and doesnt care about anyone apart from themselfs they also force you to do work for the school by giving them names like 'student helper' its a discrase dont even consider sending your child here.

bad school very bad always bully kids care more about makeup then they do the learning

As a student with dslesic tendencies the senco and staff are appalling they only care about skirts and make up

This school is extremely disappointing. The SEN team's performance is appalling, with serious safeguarding issues and a lack of care from staff. The organization and management throughout the school are very poor, with lost documents and insufficient email follow-ups. Many other parents have faced similar issues, the council needs to conduct an immediate review.

An excellent school where students and staff are respected with a good level of learning and attainment - enjoyed it a lot!

I’m an ex student from this horrific school! As long as you do the work and wear appropriately lengthened skirts they don’t care, the teachers won’t speak to you unless your wearing to much makeup or chewing gum. If you ask so called “teachers” for help about bullying then we’re told they have a crush on us and go back to lesson. Would give 0 stars if I could.

The school has always been a disgrace. Before i left the heads of the school of the school offered a trip to Thailand for 6000 pounds. 6000 fucking pounds for a trip that should've costed around 300. The school constantly tries to scam you out of good money so don't send your kids there, for their sake and yours

Richard Lander School, folks, is an absolute rollercoaster of absurdity that defies all logic. You won't believe the nonsense I've witnessed within these walls, but here goes: The school's new water system is outlandish. It dispenses water with floating lemons and mint leaves, and ever since I started drinking it, I've been having nightmares about Rick Astley. I mean, really? Lemons, mint, and "Never Gonna Give You Up" on repeat in my dreams? It's like a bad acid trip. Apparently, the school is secretly run by Tesco's pharmacy division. I've seen pharmacists in lab coats conducting experiments in the chemistry lab, and they keep offering to sell me discounted ibuprofen between classes. What's that got to do with education? Beats me. Now, brace yourself for this revelation: the canteen is allegedly run by none other than Jeffery Bezos. I kid you not. The menu includes "Amazonian" delicacies like drone-delivered hamburgers and Prime-speed pizza. And guess what? The school has its own "Amazon Rainforest" in the courtyard. Things get even crazier in the basement. I stumbled upon an electrician trying to program a virus to take over the world using a potato as a computer. Yes, a potato! I didn't stick around to ask questions because, honestly, who programs viruses with vegetables? And last but not least, the PE kit. Rumor has it that it's made from dolphin skin. I have no idea why, but I'm not even sure it's legal. Maybe the school thinks it will make us swim faster? It's so bonkers.. In summary, Richard Lander School is a riotous carnival of confusion. If you're looking for a hilariously surreal educational experience that makes no sense whatsoever, this place is the absolute pinnacle of nonsense. Just remember to wear your dolphin-skin PE kit, and keep an eye out for flying hamburgers and potato-powered world-domination schemes!

When my son started this school he was very happy but slowly became depressed due to bullying and teachers not helping.The headmaster is as useless as people say. The pastoral staff are useless and wont do anything and wont even try and help. Very bad school wouldn’t recommend. If I could give this half star I would

When i was in primary school i was never good at maths and after going here I came out worse. When I first started year 7 they placed me in set 3, within a matter of days i got knocked down to set 6 as soon as they realised I struggled with the subject. When youre put in set 6 the teachers literally just give up on you. Those who struggle and actually need support are always overshadowed by loud, rowdy and rude students whose behaviour never gets corrected as thats how the teachers expect the mental capacity of set 6 students to be. When Id talk to my friends who were in sets above me I was shocked by the amount of the maths curriculum that the teachers couldn't be bothered to teach us. Other than bar charts and such we had never done anything properly to do with graphs (atleast that i can remember as most of the class was just the teacher spewing out behaviours and attempting to scald students) I also never really learnt proper algebra amd other topics but it wasn't like I was ever going to learn how to, as i said, set 6 classes were an absolute trash heap and my parents couldn't afford a tutor for me (howd you think i ended up in richard lander in the first place lol). In the end I resorted to asking my friend to teach me some of the maths but even then i was extremely overwhelmed as i couldnt understand most of it and ended up breaking down. In the end I got a 2 at gcse. I was horrofied but what was I supposed to do? There was nowhere i could turn to for support and I felt so embarrassed. Today I have enrolled In truro college and I am glad to say that I retook my gcse maths test and passed. The lecturers here have one thing that the teachers at rls never had and that was passion for their subjects and students. My maths lecturer taught me how to see maths as more of a challenge than a chore and i really appreciate him for doing so. I got the happy ending. Most of the others who are dumped in set 6 of that garbage heap dont.

I'm a pretty average student, I don't make trouble, but please please please fix this school! First off- it’s got too many people for its size. Corridors get crowded during changeover, and there's not enough staff doing what students need. School communications are awful, there is about four people in reception?! I wish there was more space outside they don't have a school field and so we have to use the college's. No room to run around / play ball games! GCSE results appear to be good, reality is a lot of parents get tutors- we copy out of a text book in maths!!! Conclusion is, really, education there would be easier done at home, pastoral staff don't exist, and you have to be extroverted/ have thick skin.

Really bad school doesnt care about mental health all they care about is makeup and skirts. Wet icl

I hate this school boring doesn’t help and doesnt care about thing like mental health and adhd all they care about it skirts and makeup, bare wet.
