Southlands High School

I presume the school has admin staff and I appreciate they may be busy at certain times, BUT please reply to emails ............. !

I feel the above rating is not entirely honest as this ‘school’ is beyond awful. The professionals will tell you want you want to hear then leave your child to their own devices, literally. If your child has SEN they will receive ZERO support, mark my words, then, when child completely withdraws from learning a group of unqualified, uneducated ‘adults’ will suggest the problems lie at home. Prepare for a culture of manipulation, dishonesty and utter chaos. The place is bedlam. Three head of year changes within 4 months. Lost children in school. Safeguarding I’m not convinced anyone has had training on - if they have it did NOT digest in those heads. Please if you have any sense no matter how desperate you are refrain from submitting to the temptation of letting your child be a part of this useless, toxic environment. Which reminds me, the place is also absolutely filthy. Vile.

this school is absolutely terrible i would not recommend coming here at all for your own sake the teachers are bullies and do not care for students wellbeing despite me having severe adhd i was bullied for 3 months and mum had to go to police to fix it sonce they wouldnt do anything this school drains me and pushes me over the edge .they blame me for kicking off when they constantly pick on me for everything i do DO NOT COME HERE PLEASE I BEG

this school is so shit the staff harass me and my mates

Complete trash. SLT are awful. Teachers constantly take time off.

It an ok school the thrashers are kind that all that good

honestly if this is your only school option, id move countries

dont go here bro you will regret it save me...

Hated every single moment I was in that school never got helped with mental health and the bullying was atrocious and still is, the kids attack teachers and still nothing gets done, kids have come in with knives and they didn’t do anything

Most teachers are horrible and need to get a grip, Doesn’t deal well with bullying, bad kids etc. Vaping/smoking in school doesn’t get dealt with. Kids get detentions for nothing and teachers then complain about how many detentions there are. Weird rules that get added every month. There is some good things about it such as cool facilities big areas/separate areas for different years. I don’t think it’s an amazing school as there are way better ones around, don’t recommend to people thinking about going there.

I have major amounts of trauma from attending this school. All verified by a counsellor. I'm still dealing with what happened to me 5 years ago. Mental and physical abuse by the staff. Nearly ended my life at this school. Allow your kids to go anywhere but here. Many things happened at that school that pushed me to the edge. I have anxiety issues and depression problems that all go back to this school. I struggled to get a job and even function properly a few years after the school. Now in recovery. This school was hell on earth.

It’s a great school and helps with personal and educational development and has a great facility witch includes area/corse specific teachers and welcoming and understanding SLT staff, as well as an amazing study support team witch includes a school councillor and nurse.

Teachers are horrible
