Riddlesdown is horrible.

Dirty bathrooms, always smell like feces and very unsanitary. Teachers are not understanding and do not care about mental health, all the good teachers have left. Children are rude and disrupt the whole lesson usually. Teachers gossip, nothing you say to them is private. Make children cry countless times. Have overheard a teacher talk about private things that people have trusted them with. They have favourites and will let them get away with a lot of things. Fights almost every day and in general just excluding a lot of students. Bullying is a huge problem, Teachers do nothing about this. Staff is rude and behave as if them being here is a chore. Students vape in bathrooms. Girls are sexualized about everything, the PE sports skirt is unbelievably short. Male students will treat girls disgustingly if they don't find them attractive. Sexual assault is almost normal there. Terrible school don't recommend sending your child there unless you want them to cry almost every day.

Very disappointed at their customer service

They rent their dance studio on school hire and that’s where I found their lovely dance studio

I wouldn’t use their services due to the experience I had. So first of all I arrange a viewing and Steve the care taker was very helpful over the phone. He confirmed I could come for a viewing on a Saturday 29th April at 10am. He told me a lady called Susan can show me around. But when I got there on the day the reception was closed and all locked up. So I walked around the school and found the dance studio. Where I met the lovely Patrick who was just about to start a karate class. I told him I’m here for a viewing and I can’t find Susan who was meant to be showing me around. Patrick was kind enough to show me around the dance studio and the theatre room which was lovely of him. Then after I left I knew I wanted the dance studio. When I got home I booked the dance studio for the following Saturday to test it out for myself. Before I commit about renting it out on a regular basis for my dance classes.
I must say I was very disappointed at their services. As like I said I booked their lovely dance studio on Saturday 6th May. To see what it’s like to use their dance studio. As a potential space, for my regular children’s dance classes that I be doing every Saturday. I couldn’t get their music system to work and it looked like there was only option to use usb or cd. I couldn’t find anywhere for me to plug in my phone with the lead I brought with me. I spent about 20 mins trying to sort it out and had no luck. I also tried to call the school and Steve the care taker and had no joy either. It felt like a wasted journey, as I was unable to use your facilities. After about 20 minutes trying to work their sound system and haven’t had no luck, I decided to go home. I feel very disappointed as I was unable to use their dance studio or no one was able to help me. It’s a real shame as I like I said before. I was very much looking forward to renting their dance studio out every Saturday for my dance classes. As I was unable to use their facilities. I have asked for a refund for the inconvenience I had. I also asked them if there is a way we can try again on another Saturday with someone being there, so they can help me set up my music. Still no one has got back to me.

Unacceptable

Facilities manager is a narcissistic Hitler type character that makes you work long hours, no annual leave during school holidays, is racist and will make up rules to keep you in line. He also steals tools and equipment but blames it on his staff. Rents our parts of the school on weekends but doesn't book it in with the school and keeps the booking money. Mr Soumick is very much aware and helps the corruption. All building works that are done are uncertified and dangerous

Unacceptable sanction’s.

Teachers abuse their power, too many innocent students end up in detentions for small, solvable things. When the school gets a bad rep over something the teachers are entirely at fault for, anger is often taken out at students. This leaves an unacceptable learning environment for the ‘learners of today, leaders of tomorrow’.
