Avoid at all costs unless you’re a bully
I went to Sir Jonathan North for 2 years- year 7 and 8. It was detrimental on my mental health and self-esteem. I began to suffer from major anxiety for fear of getting shouted at or getting sanctioned- this is not in fact normal. At my school now, I feel much more relaxed about getting in trouble whereas at SJN i had began to suffer from panic attacks. I was also tormented and picked on whilst at the school and when I wanted to report this I was dismissed and told to write an incident report in...

So so so crap
Would give it 0 stars if possible. Went to this school because I heard great reviews however it’s the complete opposite. During year 9 someone made a tiktok video posting students writing nasty things about another student and teachers did absolutely nothing. Bullying was severe and during GCSE’s teachers did nothing to help and you had to rely on yourself. Wouldn’t even send my dog here.

if you come to this school, i feel honestly sorry for you.
this school is honestly ridiculous, i think i’d rather eat dog shit for a living rather than go to this school. the toilets have water and piss everywhere, some students don’t bother to flush the toilets. the way the staff teach the students is utterly disgusting. they’ve got no respect and then expect the students to respect them? most teachers give out the most random C1’s, C2’s and C3’s. the teachers are so disrespectful and annoying they have no bothers for your mental health and act like th...

Sexuality
The inappropriate things that the lesbian kids do is outrageous they do things like they are not little kids. It's honestly disgusting that the school allows the children to be come this way

An okay school... except for how things are handled.
Okay, don't get me wrong. Sometimes this school is great, however that is provided that you get a good teacher. For example, the teachers who actually care make lessons quite nice. However, those are the minority of teachers. I have even noticed a few of them telling us things that weren't even true. I've received death threats from another student and the school, handled it very poorly. Despite this being a literal crime, they basically just gave her an isolation and didn't even tell her paren...

School from Hell
Worse school in the world. Dogs get treated better at Battersea dogs home than students. Ever since Mrs Angus the headteacher came to school the school went downhill. Imprison are better run that this shit school

I don't miss this school
I attended this school for 5 years, and it would've been hell if I didn't meet the very few amazing teachers there. In general, the education is OK, but most teachers don't take into account the fact that different students have different learning styles. Most of what I learned at GCSE was self-taught, which not many people can accomplish. There were 3 teachers who were absolutely amazing though, one English teacher, a physics teacher, and a French teacher. I'm actually very glad that my year group had to leave early due to the first lockdown.

My review
Not a good school. I attend this school a while ago and I had dyslexia and autism and felt that I wasn’t getting the results extra help that I needed. A lot of the teachers were quite rude and didn’t support the needs of the the students in class. Instead warnings and c2’s and c’3 were just given out as a way of trying to deal with a situation and I personally I think that is wrong. Instead they should have just talked to the student individually away from the rest of the class and get to the core of the situation and work it out that way as that is more appropriate.

Not as good a school as it’s said to be
Teachers secretly pick favourites. If your not one then you get picked in all the time and the teachers are just rude to you. There has been a rumour about one of the male teachers asking a student to take her shirt off. The school only cares about grades and it’s reputation. They hire unfair supply teachers-one I had for ages gave out a C3 to someone for asking for help with their maths work, they didn’t listen to us when we brought the situation up. Just told us to behave better. Apart from be...

Mental health
This school does nothing to try and help with mental health except a short ‘be positive’ in the morning. The school doesn’t care about the mental well being of the students students and only about good grades and their reputation. For example most of my friends who have had mental health problems in this school (including me) have not got the proper attention and care they deserve. These problems include self harm, suicide attempts, anxiety, panic attacks and dealing with pronoun changes.
