Dissatisfied
Since October when my granddaughter started at the school she has been bullied, shouted at by staff, had a bad experience with many staff, been suspended several times as the bully has got away with his bulling, been spat at and more. The headmaster has been emailed to make an appointment to talk but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Please think log and hard before sending your child there.

Do not recommend
No support from any pastoral or teachers and they never actually teach you anything, best thing I did was leave before GCSE’s.

Poor school
Very poor school. Care more about uniform then the students. No communication. Very unfair on students who work hard and good grades. Students are made to eat lunch outside not undercover in all weather. Treat students worse than you wold treat an animal. Teachers need re-training. I'd suggest shutting school down and starting again. They care enough on there students. Needs amother ofsed report doing. Definitely room for improvement

average at best
the school itself is a mess and it always will be. 5 headteachers in the 5 years I was there and none made a difference. care more about uniform standards than the education. however there are certain teachers who were amazing and really helped me when i was going through a very big rough patch unlike the pastoral team who it's there job to help and they were useless. I did manage to pass the GCSEs considering it was just as covid hit so for that I will say its average at best.

Bad school and never changing
Being a former pupil at this school and having supply teachers at least twice a day, kids running wild around the school, teachers only caring about uniform and not about peoples health and well being. No wonder though as when I was there for the 5 years we had 5 head teachers all saying they were going to change the place but no on e does anything they all do the same thing leave before being there for 1 year

School
The schools terrible , it's never gonna change, 6 n more headteachers in less than 5 years. They dont care about education they care more about uniform and how they look to the public.

Okay school
focus to much on uniform, standards and members of the public’s opinion than children’s mental well being.

Don't.
I have since left but I will spend the rest of my life dealing with the things that happened at school. They don't care are bullying, the staff turnout is high because nobody wants to stay, the bad pupils are left to run wild. I've never felt so helpless in my life, for it to be law to go to school but to feel so unsafe.
