Scott Medical and Healthcare College

When I first started at college back in year 9 it was brilliant. The teachers were nice and the school was small so everyone knew everyone. When I carried onto sixth form, our head of year said that most of us is going to fail and should look for apprenticeships or start the year over with a BTEC course. Some teachers were so inconsiderate of the troubles of travel. I used to travel from quite far away via train, at the start it was okay but when sixth form started the college stopped supporting student with the minibus. Bear in mind that the train station from the college is just over 40 minutes. So, I made the effort to wake up extra earlier, pay more for my train ticket so I had enough time to walk to college. I used to wake up at 5am to get into college on time, and as you know the college finished quite late. Meaning that I missed my train and I usually have to wait about an hour for the next train in the cold, normally I would not even get home earlier than 7pm. When it got to practice mocks I asked my teachers for extra help because I was soo exhausted from the travel, but they said I should find a college closer by. They give me such a bad review that my new college did not allow me to restart my A Levels so I had to settle with a type of BTEC which I cannot study the course I wanted to apply for. I knew what I wanted in the first year of attending this college but they broke all my hopes. When greenshaw took over the college they completely destroyed the college, half our teacher left so some of our classes didn’t even had teacher, so it’s understandable that many students fell behind. I just hoped that students would get more support but it just got worse over time, then in less than a month half of the year group left.

Terrible school spreads false information about how you get lots of medical experiences but it is exactly like a standard school but with far stricter rules because they care more about your uniform than your grades. I am in year 10 and the only ‘medical’ experience I have had is watching someone do cpr. Most teachers have favourites and can be rude to people they don’t like. An example of a school rule is if you are told to roll your skirt down twice you get sent straight to IR where you sit in there for 5 lessons and an hour after school but it doesn’t go both ways so if a boy is told to tuck his shirt in twice he does not get sent but obviously the girls would get one which is silly overall just a bad school

incredible school with great resources, the teachers are lovely and willing to help you with both school and personal matters and easy to find your way around.

I left after 2 weeks it’s awful making you line up to check your uniform every morning what and if you don’t have a pen your in iso that’s just wrong

it’s not the schools fault , it’s greenshaw learning trusts fault . but all in all it’s kind of miserable .

Honest yet simple review … quite a miserable experience

i found it a dreadful experience

this school is absolutely vile.

I absolutely love this school! So enthusiastic and caring. However, since being in greenshaw learning trust many small petty rules have been made. In Scott college you used to be able to express your true self but now the rules do not allow this. The ethos mr cox created is no longer in place however it is still a much butter school than most.

When I first came to this school it was amazing the teachers and headteacher were amazing, but now over lockdown the old headteacher has retired and we have joined the greenshaw learning trust, the special aspects to Scott have been lost the teachers care more about your uniform looking smart rather then other things that are important and we aren’t even able to use chrombooks as much, really let me down

Brilliant school feel safe going there everyday. Push me to the best of my ability and help me achieve. Never been to a school where every teacher knows all students and respects one another. Has brilliant teachers and small classes really help could not recommend this school enough.

Good school, always push you to do your best and give you a lot of opportunities. All the teachers are young so they understand mental health and everyday young people problems.

Excellent school. Got me where I need to be for the future.
