Awful

I was bullied horrendously at risedale and there was little to no communication between the school and my parents. And this isn't even an old incident this happened up until I moved schools in summer of 2021. I was assaulted and even though the school website says the police will be involved in the event of an assault they were never involved. And it wasn't a one off instance. I was assaulted multiple times, kicked, punched, shoved into a wall of lockers and not once was anything done. I had food thrown at me in the lunch hall, water poured all over my legs. The list could go on. This school is awful. Dont send your child here unless they're a chav. They'll do perfectly fine with the popular girls if they're a chav but anyone else should avoid. Mr scott is a joke (the headteacher) I was hit in the head by a football and I cried because it hurt and he came over to me after I came back outside from the bathroom and said "Are you over the shock now" whilst smiling and then he left. Not once did he ask - are you okay? Or do you need to go to the medical room or tell the boys playing football to go to the football pitch and not somewhere people are sitting. It's a joke. Miss wright made me go back to my lesson after I left in tears because I was being screamed at by chavs who were bullying me and once I came back I was again shouted at. I was called slurs (the f slur) because I hung out with gay people even though i'm not gay myself and nothing was done even though "homophobia (or any type of discrimination) isn't allowed in the school" It's a piss take.

The reason I graded my academics low is because I could learn whilst I was having skittles and gum thrown at me in class.
Indoor environment- the walls are crumbling to pieces and just overall looks bad

500 pupils and you’re not allowed to go to the toilets. In your own time when you get back to lesson after break and you ask can I go to the toilet all they say is new you should of went at break when we aren’t allowed at break. There’s 500 people and one set of toilets the others are locked and not to be used The English corridor is crumbling apart you get screamed out by Mr Scott for nothing there’s only a few teachers that are respectful The rest of them ask for respect back but don’t give it in the first place The school is a joke and really need to sort itself out Miss Benson always make sure you’re in the wrong none of the teachers actually try to help no one cares about your mental health how are you actually feeling they tried to split friendship groups up The school really need to sort itself out. The school is okay it’s the rules that aren’t they are unfair they have favourite pupil. Have different rules for different people you’re in lesson for an hour and you’re not allowed to go to the toilet until lunch is over which lunch is the 40 minutes long so what you have to wait an hour and 40 minutes before you can go to the toilet. Which then you only have five minutes to go to the toilet then get to your next lesson which is another hour i’m not allowed to the toilet in change over so you waiting two hours go to the toilet. That’s if you can get to the toilet at lunchtime because of the line that is there because there’s only one set of toilets for 500 pupils so you could be waiting three hours and 40 minutes before you can go for a toilet and sometimes they don’t let you go at break So you’re lucky if you can go in lesson which some of the teachers say no so it could be six hours before you can go for a toilet The school needs to think about the rules and think about they are it’s not even that the teachers are bad it’s the rules I need changing

They don’t let you go for a toilet

Not allowed to go to the toilet at break then when you ask to go in lesson the teacher say “no why didn’t you go at break” there one set of toilet for 500 pupils. The walls in English are crumbling. They don’t care how you are only if your following the rule you get screamed at for asking the wrong question when your just asking there only a couple good teacher they don’t have respect toward student then expect respect the head teacher screams about evething and exaggerate everything apart from that the schools still bad the teacher are rude there are only a few that are nice the rest your not allowed to leave lunch until they say witch gives you 5 mins to go for a toilet with you have to wait in a long line to do so because they only have one set of toilet the other are just locked your waisting time by having to go all the way to reception to give the teacher a toilet pass for them to give you a key then go back and give the key to them and walk all the way back to your lesson when you could just go to the toilet the school need sorting out

Awful school

No communication between parents and school, when asking to speak to a certain member of staff they never phone back, receptionists are rude and say things about parents in front of pupils, very unsupported and uncaring when a pupil is kept off for genuine medical reasons all you get is either, Mr Morley on your door step or letters and text messages, as a parent you know if your child is unable to be at school, the school has greatly deteriorated over the last 3 years, bullying is not addressed and the teachers seem to have favourite students and if you are not one of these you are not treated the same, if i had known what i know now i would of sent my son to Wensleydale secondary school, i have no confidence in some of the staff at all.
