    Its really average

    This school is dead middle. After i started attending it, i really think i became much more tired and irritable because i had to wake up early. Students are dead average aswell, its really 50/50, some good, some bad. Most of the teachers are preatty cool, exept a few boring ones, nothing special. I dont really like the era after miss burke ,because after her the pupils cant really go to toilets during lessons, and for me its a big deal, i go inbetween lessons and even then they are locked sometimes, and my anxiety makes everything worse. Yesterday something happened with toilets for year 9-11 because barely anyone has keys for them to inlock them in the morning and i have to go to year 6-7 toilets and sometimes they are closed so i go to the nearby shops that have toilets. This school has serious toilet problem idk. Good things. Uh, Miss Ayles is super chill, art teacher. Sir d'leprevier's french lessons are usually preatty funny. Mister Savage may has that name but he is super skilled in piano and sadly because of that one of his fingers doesnt work properly, still remember how he had to teach us guitar but he barely could himself, strict in a good way and can be nice, Mister Sanchez is one of my all time favourites, he was my previous french teacher, why i like him so much is he understood that i had some bullies in my class and sat me with people i like and generally he is a cinnamon bun

    Bad School, Better off studying at home

    Not to the standards of a student who is dedicated to achieving good results in their A-levels. They say that they provide support for oxbridge, but in reality they don't. There is no support for uni admissions test and interviews.

    Fucking appalling

    School is terrible, majority of teachers are either nonces or racists. Doesn't get much clearer than that. Most staff don't care about your childs mental health and will just scream in their face until they are done what they're told and if not detentions are booked. There's a few lovely members of staff that are caring and make learning and coming to school a positive experience but they're unfortunately let down by their colleagues. Bullying and theft is a common thing in roding valley that no...

    Hell on earth

    All of the terrible reviews on try is site are all true. Hell has a place on earth in this school. If you love your children please don’t let them be subjected to the horrors of this abominable hell hole. It will ruin their lives, be a bully or get bullied and their life will be made hell, in 2025 how can this even still exist, psychological lifelong trauma, physical abuse and much worse! Ofsted should be aware of this disturbing hell hole!

    A outstanding school

    I am a new student at Roding Valley high school and it’s really great to have an opportunity to go to a outstanding school and it’s a lie that that teachers doesn’t care they do care and they guide me and other students the right way to do things and study hard

    Appalling school

    My daughters experience over the last couple years are shocking. The teachers don’t care, the students are horrible. The teachers are the most shocking part; kicking students belongings, putting them down, being overall unfair, it’s shocking. My daughter has had the worst secondary schools experience you can possibly imagine at this school. For the love of your child, don’t send them there.

    Why you shouldn’t send your kids to RODING VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

    Don’t send your child or children they say they care about your child’s care and how they are but they don’t

    A good school, should be outstanding!

    This school offers a lot of opportunities for those who want to participate and work hard. Loads of high achieving children and teachers who are supportive and approachable. When issues come up they are dealt with. And the 6th form looks great. What’s not to like?

    horrible school

    school is horrible. constant drama. suspended my son for 3 days after he walked out of class n kicked over a bin due to 2 bullies in his class chucked chewed gum in his hair. my son has anger issues (diagnosed for 2 years) and this is his least concerning respond to something. the bullies were not punished in any way and only had they’re parents phoned a week after the situation had happened. also they refused to feed my child due to the fact he had a break time detention and asked to grab some food before he sat his det. my son messaged me about this situation after his detention and I spoke to the teacher who had given him the detention and she told me over the phone “he should’ve eaten more breakfast then” outrageous!!! do not send ur child here if they have any sort of anger problems or anxiety!!!

    Roding Valley

    school is honestly shit! I sent my 13 year old daughter there cause of her past 2 schools and it was horrible! She was sick for a week and they kicked her out! The Toliets have MOLD in them, the students are fucking twats and the school teachers are racist and nonces ,they call out coloured students and they look up girls skirts. And if ur child wanted food it has MOLD inside and they serve you uncooked food . I wouldn’t send your child here!!

    My Experience (TW: Mentions of Trauma)

    I am a former student and I seriously cannot describe what this school put me through. I was bullied for months on end and even stopped coming to school for weeks at a time. The teachers didn’t do anything to try and stop the bullying. Eventually they put ME in isolation. Not the bullies, me. I went through such severe depression that I attempted suicide and even then, they still didn’t care at all. A month or two after I attempted, they contacted my mum and basically said that they wanted me to...

    Don’t come here

    The senior teachers don’t know what they’re doing they say there big on mental health but when it actually comes to it they couldn’t give a crap. There’s no disabled access anywhere. It’s over crowed the students are horrible all the time fighting shouting swearing. The only good thing they used about the place is how close it is to the nearest train station
