    The Sidmouth Scandal: Constant Rules, Zero Real Teaching

    Canteen food: unhealthy- no wonder people are obese Toilets: 10 toilets 3 work, smells of gone off poo and mellowing urine soaked in vape juice, drawings of male reproductive organs. Education/rules: Change rules every 3 seconds, make reset the excuse for everything (when I get reset I just don't go they don't care), strict send off field when 10 mins left of break, equipment check-- if you have 1 pen and your supposed to have 2 you get lunch of the menu :( -- poor year7's - (it won't last i...

    Terrible experience. Would not recommend, not even to my worse enemies

    The kids there are some of the most horrible people I have ever met; there seems to be a slight over reliance on the idea that kids will bring phones to school (e.g to do occasional games or research) despite not all kids being able to do this; the staff is in this abysmal situation where their either too strict or too kind (e.g punishing kids too much or not enough); my year 8 experience could best be described by the word “hell” due to the fact that most people in my classes bullied me and oth...

    Depression land.

    The main building is in a bad state even though it is only a couple years old, some of the toilets have no doors on them, the ones what do either have a broken lock or it’s just disgusting. And the whole building is just bad quality and cheaply made. They is some bad teachers and some good teachers, but they get you in trouble for no reason. Nothing is done about bullying or mental health and the students are horrible PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

    I'm warning you not to go

    This place is a living hell, don't go. I am being honest as a year 10 who has been there for 3 years. All good teachers have left or been fired. The head teacher is an out of touch and incoherent idiot who doesn't care for the students wellbeing and focuses their budget on bribing Ofsted

    An okay school

    Some teachers are way too strict, while some are chill and friendly. The school is pretty worn down, even though the main building was rebuilt last year. Boy's toilets need repairing. Some teachers will give you detentions for stupid things (E.g: not tucking your shirt in). Some teachers will even give class detentions for things. For example, someone screeched when the teacher left the room. Teacher comes back in and gives the entire class a 40 minute detention until someone owned up. If you get the right teachers, you can have a decent time. I feel like homework piles too much but that's all schools I suppose. I also do learn a lot in lessons.

    It's alright

    The school don't deal with bullying very well wherever you go there's someone saying homophobic or racist comments at people. Mental health at the school we have assemblies about how to maintain a good mental health but it's always the same stuff in assemblies. I just wouldn't recommend this school if you suffer badly with your mental health because they say they help you when they don't and it has to end up with you being in serious crisis for them to give you support but they still don't really know how to help .

    Bad school

    This school does not support students whatsoever. They punish students for some really stupid reasons. Poorly maintained school. If you are planning to go to this school, don't expect a good education at all!

    Not super (superman is better than this school)

    I think this is a pretty good school . The sport is awesome and perfect and the astro turf is state of the art. The teachers are good enough. Some may threaten you to give you a detention. But they end up lying. Some teachers are just scary. There is some bullying and horrible behavoir I wish i never knew. Some people have nearly died. Education is super. Homework is ok. Changings are not clean and are destroyed a bit.

    POO every where

    This is a rubbish school there is poo everywhere on teachers and all. Changes rooms smell of LYNX and the whole school has bullies. Cantine food is trash food even though in PSHE they teach you to be healthy eating when they give unhealthy food.

    Terrible school

    It’s a terrible school. There are so many bullies and homophobic people and the staff do absolutely nothing about it!! They say they don’t stand for bullies but they clearly do, I know many children who have been bullied and still get bullied there and even when the bullying is reported or seen by a member of staff no action is taken place they just sit the children down and tell them they can’t do that.
