    Smelly Nelly

    I have two children attend this school, it's completely awful, the curriculum hasn't changed since I was at school 30 years ago, the teachers are mostly bully's, the level of violence they direct towards the students is awful, most days my kids are subject to teachers shouting at them. And their go to punishment is solitary confinement and exclusion. The main focus of the school is victorian punitive discipline and body shaming. There is also a Hitler youth style cos play programme run by teac...

    Worst school ever I regret coming here!!!

    Dont go to this school if youre in sixth form. Firstly, theres a big field in the middle of the buildings which means that you have to walk 10 minutes between lessons with a heavy bag that they expect you to carry because no lockers are provided at the upper building. At the lower building there are shelves where you can leave your stuff but they get stolen and if you have lessons at upper all day, you cant walk back and forth to lower 10 minutes each way just to get a folder because you will be...

    Wasn't very accepting of people's sexualities.

    When I was there they were good at teaching but when it came to the students mental health they said they care but they never did anything about it and when it comes to people's sexual orientation they were t quite excepting (quite sexist).

    Homophobic, racist and awful staff

    I'm a former srudent and i have aldoheard alot from older former students of this school, so these are my experiences with this school. 1. Unecassary punishment A student got put into inclusion due to their trousers being "too short". Inclusion is where the student has to go into a room with a staff member at breaktimes and lunchtimes to miss out on them. The student was even embarrased infront of a class for their ankles being visible. This was only because they had just stood up from their...

    Everything about this school is bad

    This school is so sexist. Boys get so many sporting and educational opportunities compared to girls. Only the girls have a dress code and it is so old fashioned i mean we have to keep are ankles covered because they’re “distracting” you can only have one piercing in your bottom lobe. I have my helix pierced it’s a really small stud and it’s unnoticeable my teacher found out I had it and made me put a huge plaster over it because it was ruining the image of the school and effecting mine and others learning. How can a small earring do all that and the huge plaster made it even more noticeable and made me look stupid. Don’t even get me started on going to the bathroom. No one is allowed not even girls my friend had to go home and change because the teacher wouldn’t let her go to the bathroom and I guess you can understand what happened next. The bottom line of this is is not to go to this school and to tell others not to go to this school.

    Crappy school

    This school is terrible. For one the school is rotting and going mouldy and it absolutely stinks. They put money they get towards sports which its obvious that is the only thing they care about. They do not care for their pupils they only care about the school uniform . Bullying is said to not be tolerated but its a huge problem. The school staff are fatphobic, homophobic and racist. There is no diversity. The teachers are rude to the students. They are lazy and shout at every child for nothing. Fir example mu friend got a detention for sneezing. This school in general is terrible and most of the teachers need firing.

    Uniform

    more care is put into making sure everyone wears the correct uniform rather than actual work or classrooms that are not mouldy

    terrible school

    absolutely terrible school, the staff are horrible to their students and some staff have done illegal things including tampering with legal paperwork. they claim to welcome all student who struggle with any problems mentally or physically, this is a lie, all they care about is their reputation. they have 1 lift to an upper floor which is not allowed to be used by students as it is packed with boxes used as a storage room. they kicked a year 7 out once for wearing a hijjab when they told her she wasnt allowed too! they never use the heating so all year round it is freezing in the mouldy decaying classrooms. they care more about the uniform being perfect than the students education. most teachers hardly teach anything because their are either too busy telling you their life story or they just make you work for a textbook because they are lazy or they just want to scream at kids they hate all lesson. at lunches and breaks you will find kids in corners smoking and selling/ taking drugs. the food makes kids ill and the drinks in the vending machine must be about 10 years old. they allow boys and girls to hold hand etc but the second a 2 girls or 2 boys are near each other like that they will go insane. any time they get funding/ money they immediately spend it on new sports equipment they don’t need. also p.e lessons, they will make kids be outside in thin leggings/ shorts/ skirts in all weathers; scorching heat, snow storm, pouring rain etc. they only ‘clubs’ they have are sports related.
