AVOID THIS SCHOOL!
? Avoid This School!! Chronic Instability, Safeguarding Failures, and Targeted Victimization As a parent and a practicing Children’s Social Worker, I feel a professional and moral duty to warn other local families about the severe systemic failures within the leadership and management at Shirley High School. My daughter was recently permanently withdrawn from this school due to an absolute breakdown in their duty of care- entirely my choice. 1. Extreme Staff and Student Churn (Zero Continuity)...

Bullying shouldn't be covered up
I was appealed at the way the school cover up the reality of what goes on. My daughter was severely bullied. Nobody helped. I had to de register her as it has had a negative impact of the way she views herself and has caused her to have severe anxiety. 6 weeks after de registering her the school contacted me to ask me to write a letter to them stating that I removed her to home school her so that they could send it to the local education authority which couldn't be farther from the truth. I stated that I couldn't comply as it wasn't the case. They decided to lie and write a letter to the local education authority stating that I removed her to homeschool her. It's appalling that a school would go to lengths to cover up bullying and present an image that it doesn't happen. This is no way to improve on situations that occur by fabricating lies to put forward and false image of the school instead of protecting the students and putting them first

Depressing
Depressing concrete buildings and hotch-pot outdated classrooms. The outdoor areas are like a prison yard. Your heart sinks when you are there. Everything needs a good clean and upgrade. Limited facilities with budget equipment that does not work. The sports and performing arts resources are poor. Some teachers are not ambitious and have low expectations for the students. They just want to make it through the day. Too many supply and cover teachers. I won't send my own children there.

my opinion on shirley high school
went from 2016-18. terrible experience. low expectations, no resources, no communication, big behavioural issues, underperformance. teachers are extremely strict and unforgiving, constant physical fights etc. i left to go to a private school and managed to achieve nearly all 9’s. i know this wouldn’t have been possible here. if you care about ur education- avoid!
