Horrible.
The school was okay except for the fact that all the teachers especially the head just want to see children suffer. I am planning on leaving this school because I have had enough. Staff are decent but as stated before some want to make students suffer and MANY need to be fired.

sjl complaints
I am a student who attends Sir John Lawes school and it is not a pleasant experience. There is this one maths teacher who I will not name but they makes you feel far less capable and can not teach for the life of them. My other maths teacher has an accent you can’t understand and it makes learning an obstacle course. The rules are so unnecessary and unfair, for example you can get an isolation for wearing fake lashes but can also get the same punishment for vaping in school. They are too strict...

Grade Factory.
I left SJL in 2021 so I'm a recent former student. My 5 years at Sir John Lawes can only be described with one word: hell. If you have any mental health problems, prepare to be belittled and accused of lying (a PE teacher who is still teaching there once accused me of faking panic attacks to get out of PE, and said panic attacks and other episodes I experienced were never taken seriously and were even on a few circumstances laughed at by both students AND staff). I'm not alone in this either,...

the inequalities
i think that this is school is good within the terms of the education ei maths,english and science however i think that its very much one rule for one and another for another. I also believe that there approach to sexual assault and harassment is one that leaves the victims questioning if it was there fault. i think the school need to stop worrying so much about uniform and gum and start listening to what the students are trying to tell them.

teachers don’t help or listen
while the education and lessons are good most teachers cannot control their students in or out of lesson. there is no equality or protection for lgbtq+ children and teachers do nothing about bullying, homophobia, islamaphobia or any sort of hurtful language. “bad kids” are suspended or put in detention even when they have done nothing because the teachers don’t want to cause a scene.

Education- Good, Social Awareness- Awful
At the school, there is a lot of bullying and the school is bad at inclusion. Basically they need to focus on making assemblies, talking more in lessons, and educating students on the LGBTQIA+ community, BLM, Islamaphobia and how they should prevent it and many more things that just aren’t quite right.
