    Satisfactory

    Overall Robert mays is a functioning school with decent staff and people. The food is satisfactory if over priced. There seems to be a general lack of organization in the school.

    This school is so bad

    Right don’t mean to be a Karen or anything but miss cottonrock is so bad, she talks abouts the length of my skirt as if I’m going to get arrested for a criminal offence, she puts me in detention for doing the slightest thing. I am so sorry but I do not recommend this school to anyone. Also one more thing she chases me down the hall everyday.

    Please dont send your kids here

    please never send your kids here unless you want to destroy their mental health, as a student here i can confirm teachers do nothing to stop bullying and if you ask for your child's name to be kept out of something they never do, the teachers only set us homework because they cant be bothered so teach you properly, teachers do nothing about bullies but if you stand up for yourself they shout at you, so whatever you do. DO NOT send your kids here

    Not that great.

    Not a very good school, don't help when needed smelll of vapes throughout the school, cameras on some busses don't work, teachers aren't overly nice and sometimes shout for no reason,sometimes we get things put on us that is unfair. If the bell has rung then straight away you go to student support because for exame you were going there at break but was getting food if you go there after the bell they are like "get a note from the teacher" and the teachers sometimes say 'no' or see how you feel a...

    school has no idea how to deal with students with extra needs.

    the entire time i was in this school they refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong with me. i was never able to learn anything because i never got the help i actually needed. i got diagnosed with autism when i was in year 10 and not a single person acknowledged the diagnosis. none of my teachers even knew until i told them. the only time the school actually offered to do anything to help was when i was already about to leave the school, not to mention all the things they offended to put in place for me made basically no difference; banning me from the only place i actually felt safe (student support) and offering to remove one lesson from my time table (the one i had already dropped months ago). one time my appendix burst and i wasn't allowed to go to the office until i ended up throwing up, even then i had to lie just to get them to send me home. the entire time i was in that school almost my entire year group hated me. i was bullied constantly and what did the school do about it? absolutely nothing. even teachers made me feel horrible about myself, i got yelled at for nothing and spent alot of my time crying. one time i tried telling someone that a teacher was yelling at me for no reason and upsetting me i was just told "thats just whats shes like" glad this school takes me seriously. tl;dr take your children to this school if you want to destroy their mental health.

    Disappointed with school

    Very poor school. Very disappointed on all levels. I would love to send our student to a more nurturing school. Smell of vapes through out the school apparently. Certain teachers are not respectful to students . Shouting at students (young adults) for example shows poor self control in a teacher. Results at end of year not good. One particular, teacher gave a very bad mark. From what I can gather she has taken out her dislike on student via report. Student has mentioned her numerous times over the year (in a poor way). If a student is failing this should be bought to parents notice earlier and not at the end of the year.

    Do NOT recommend

    This school is horrid they go on and on about mental health but pick on us when they give us to much work or put loads of pressure on us if we don’t get something. They say they are preparing us for the real world but in what world will we have a detention, sanction or be fired in a work place because we have a necklace on. They have a go at us and check our uniform when it’s OURS not theirs, it’s OUR education not theirs so why does it matter if I have a short skirt, it’s not an invitation we’r...

    My review

    Bullied infront of various teachers (albeit not too harshly, just verbal), mostly in lessons, for about a year without them even saying anything.

    Its okay I guess

    I went here for 5 years and my mum was trying to get me an autism diagnosis, after 3 years of the staff gaslighting myself and my mum they finally assessed and referred me and I got a diagnosis. It was delayed by the actions of the school and I didn't get diagnosed till I was 16, This was only a few years ago. As a direct result of the schools negligence I failed all but 1 of my GCSEs because I didn't have the support I needed. If you are Smart the will put too much pressure on you and will say its "for the good of the school" and if your not smart most teachers will blame you for them not being able to teach you. If you have mental health issues while at this school, good luck because all they will say is "What do you have to be depressed about?" and if you have anxiety its "You have nothing to be anxious about?" and some of the staff claim that teenagers cant have mental health issues. Got bullied for all 5 years and nothing was ever done, I retaliated once and my teacher told me to "Control my emotions". I did make some good friends who also got screwed over by the school and we are still friends to this day so that's one good thing I guess.

    Terrible education

    This school is honestly terrible. As a year 11 student with disabilities I have been subject to years of bullying and abuse, to which nothing was done about. I was the one punished when I lashed out. This school is plagued of hypocritical teachers, petty and ridiculous rules and terrible student support. Not once in my life had I felt like I belonged, was happy or safe in this school

    Review on Robert Mays

    The teachers preach about mental health then set loads of homework and if you have a problem it will most likely be ignored some teachers are really nice but the language teachers chase you if you have a coat on a rainy day

    Not great ig

    breaks are so short like together they’re not even a full hour and they expect us to queue up with the entire year eat the food socialize go to the toilet fill your water bottle up all in 20 mins. teachers can also be pretty horrible especially the language teachers, they used to chase after us if we had our coats on.

    Teachers are awful at RMS

    Some teachers in this school are awful. They don’t let students wear coats. They treat students really badly
