South Wirral High School

I have severe mental health issues and due to this miss a significant amount of school in bad episodes. Pastoral there are not understanding whatsoever and even admitted to not having any mental health training. One of them has a degree in art. Teachers and pastoral invalidate many students on a daily basis including myself claiming things never happened. Teachers always force students to partake in activities that can send them into panic attacks and breakdowns and have a go at them when they can’t do it. Always punish the victim and let the perpetrator off without even a warning. Not to mention there’s known dangerous students that attend the school yet school refuse to do anything about it. Also won’t let me move schools due to the fact they’ll loose funding. The school continues to send my parents fines when I physically can not attend school even with notes from mental health professionals. Also have problems with giving students authorised leave when going to things like therapy or doctors appointments. Please shut this disgusting excuse of a school down.

I went to to school a couple years ago with anxiety and dyslexia and had to leave early due to how i was treated by staff. They would always knock off attendance due to my anxiety not being a "legitimate" reason to be off and would repeatedly send fines my way despite having various doctors / hospital / counsellor notes. They would also remove me from the base (witch is practically a quiet room where you can do your work) as they believed that i was consistently using the rooms to avoid lessons. The staff would also commonly force me into situations that would bring me into a panic attack then shout at me for having the attack, they would also force me to stay in lessons while having an attack. I was also put into further stress / anxiety by being forced to read aloud when they clearly knew i had anxiety and struggled to read aloud normally, the school would also force me to partake in drama and dance lessons despite me being very self conscious, lucky the P.E teachers were very understanding. The school had also lied to my counsellor about a meeting time forcing her to miss it then blaming it on her. The school also has horrible communication as the head teacher didn't neven know what was going on until my last day there. This place will also not allow you to go home if you are feeling ill due to anxiety as it's apparently not a valid reason. I wouldn't recommend this place at all, even if you have good mental health.

This school is so bad I recommend you don’t go to it the teachers don’t do anything to help kids with ADHD or Anger issues. Certain teachers also pick on kids with behavioural problems and the teachers don’t believe the kids they always believe teachers. There is a lot more I could say but I don’t want to waste my time writing about such a place. Overall this is a terrible school and I would rate it no starts if I had a choice

Don’t like the school one bit absolutely hate it

shit, it’s shit do not go it’s a waste of time i hated every second of it
