Bullying shouldn't be covered up
Worst school ever
Warning ⚠️ do not send your child to this school. They will damage your child.
Shit schook
Horrible rude teachers and a horrible education these teachers dont do anything to help kids apart from yell would not recommend this school to anyone
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Depressing concrete buildings and hotch-pot outdated classrooms.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.

No good
Has had its ups and downs over the years, not a good school and not a good sixth form department.Teachers try to bully kids, horrible care for childrens wellbeing, very few decent teachers.
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!

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
