Bullying
I went to this school through year 7 and 8 and moved due to extreme bullying and this was not just me I saw it happen to so many people.students there kick each other one boy needed to be called for an ambulance due to a kicking incident in 2025,I was called names things thrown at me like food,water, glue the education is alright but the environment is awful and the school didn’t help when I spoke about it. I made a very good choice moving and I’m now going into year 10 my year 9 experience was...

Bad school
This school is DREADFUL. They do not give one about anything or anyone! Attendance is all they care about. For your kids, please do not send your children here. The new headteacher keeps coming in with these stupid rules, unnecessary. The school isn’t welcoming. Also do not send your kids here who have special needs! They will HATE it! You do have some good teachers, others are not.

Bad scheduling
My child had food tech for rotation as rotation only cooked two foods for which the teacher wasn’t even there for one of them.

Don't bother
I went here back early 2000 and it was the worst experience everyone told me school life is the best. It was by far the worst. Doesn't sound like it got better

Ignore what the sign says near the exit.
I'm currently in year 11 and to be completely honest, the good thing about this school is the people you meet, some new friends and some Brilliant teachers. However, some teachers come down on you like a ton of bricks and sell their subjects at the GCSE open evening as something worth doing, when in reality, over half of the people who chose those subjects, failed greatly in mocks. Some teachers refuse to help you if you simply misheard them, which completely defeats the point of teaching. They...

Think twice before sending your kid here
Honestly it’s not the best school in the world but, I enjoyed it for what it was and made the most of it. My experience at will rob was .............. ok?? as another comment said the lessons were good but it all depended on which teachers you would have, one of the worst teachers I have had is, mr sehdiki as he would give any one a stage for doing literally anything (I’m surprised I didn’t get a stage for breathing!) the P.E. lessons were good when we weren’t with the higher set as the teachers that favourited them more would make crap teams, e.g. one team will have 10 high set students the other team would have 9 lower set students. I got towards the end of school when I started refusing to do P.E. . I can remember counting the amount of English teachers we had at SWRA and the total was 11 so one day I was being taught one thing the next day being taught something else and the following day we would be taught the exact same thing we got taught the day before. Another thing that wasn’t the best at school was the food, some was alright and all the cooks were lovely and treaded you with respect. The food was not the best though. I would love to give the school a higher rating but from my experience, I would struggle too.

Alot of errors
The school is good I guess, it seriously needs cleaner tables and toilets, you've even got a teacher saying they hate children and on top of that the bus service is terrible if you live in Grantham apart from all that it's a fairly good school, meals, sports, lessons are sometimes enjoyable, the lessons here depend on the teachers to make it enjoyable but some can be boring, one teacher is almost always late for class and the outside is always crawling with litter everywhere. Apart from that it's ok.
