I don't go there but my sister does and the school is a load of crap they think they can rule the kids and especially my sister she is in year 11 and they say about studying for her GCSEs yet constantly sending her home for daft stuff she got sent home for not black socks not wearing a black bobble and today she has been sent home about a nose piercing yet we're I live u see them all with the piercings and not the correct uniform and not one of them gets sent home they say they are high for mental health and let's them express themselves how they want to yet they don't let the kids do that I went to go drop my sister some paracetamol of and to say I am a outsider the way they spoke to me was horrible there words was why are you so late and we're is your uniform the lady said it with a right horrendous attitude so it just makes you think how they speak to the pupils the school is one big joke I wouldn't even call it a school it's more like a prison
This school has been nothing but drama from the start and hasn't stopped from my son joining in year 7. My son is a very ill boy and under specialist health care and instead of trying to help they have done nothing but talk down to the family,come round to the house and I am having to repeat myself over and over again even though I speak on the phone and send texts and send in evidence. Make accusations and try and say my son isn't as ill as he is and try and insinuate that something is going on bad at home this is why he is off basically,and I as a parent are not doing enough which makes me laugh because the family is paying for private health care and doing as much as possible. They have had me now many times in tears and I have had to take him out of this school for all our mental wellbeing.please avoid
Wouldn’t go to this school they treat kids badly and always shout at them and my kid had got an isolation for not wearing his mask and for going the wrong way
Pretty terrible, went there from yr7-11, got a lot stricter after I left. You're allowed only water while teachers got coffee and coke, strict as hell for an overpriced uniform and they reward the chavs they've had the most fun chats with rather than good grades and education. Only remember one good geography teacher. Rather than spend the schools budget or rewarding chavs sould finally get rid of the smokers behind the bike sheds
I am currently enrolling in the school, and i have to say that it's quite a good environment overall, however there are many things wrong with it.
For exaple, the uniform rules are extremely stupid and useless, and we have to buy our uniform directly from the academy and cannot buy it anywhere else.
Also the behaviour system/rules are not really followed. If a student gets called a slur (which is an absolute and it should result in exclusion for the person who called them it) some of the year leaders will not do anything about it and will just try to turn the tables on you with words like "what if they didn't know that that was something they shouldn't say?" "Why didn't you tell them that that is harmful?" "Did you previously tell them about *include example and stuff like that.
A lot of the staff there is really kind and helpful even if they do not have the authority to do anything about some things, and the diversity in the community is great!
A lot of the people there are self absorbed and stuck up (students) which sometimes makes the learning environment not so great, but i hope that the school improves on that soon.
Good school if you can make a good relationship with some teachers. Some teachers have clear favouritism and bullying could be dealt with better but there is always room for personal growth.
