Do NOT send ur child to this school.
Do not attend
Honestly, Can't wait to leave. Teachers clearly only care for money and no ones education, in the entire school, There's only a handful of genuinely polite teachers who make you feel welcome. The whole " kudos" system is just for teachers pets/favourite students. The bullying is horrendous, you could report a highly serious incident that could badly effect the victims mental health, and the person doing this to them could only get a detention! Yes I understand it's hard to control, but I'm sure teachers could help edit seating plans to help bullying situations. They've also got a horrible outside area, it's constantly filled with litter. Helping students with mental health is bad too, hardly any help is offered. As a last note, they've hardly made an effort for covid. Practically no students wearing masks, absolutely no social distancing.
Don’t go here
Terrible School with even worse of an SLT - if they can even be called that -
Teachers don’t care and neither do the governors. Sanction students for incorrect uniform - eg lost tie and pathetically strict appearance policy. So glad I’ve left.

school review
just need to get rid of a few teachers who are only bothered about money not our education they even said it theirself
Don't send your child Here.
Don't send you Child here. If your child gets diagnosed with a special educational need it will take them months before they do anything. Also they way are dealing with this pandemic absolutely terrible. They don't change the bin bags and God knows what is in those bins. When you are lining up outside to come into the school we are all trying to maintain our distance but they rushed and we are breaking the 2m rule.
Good school
It’s a really good school. Some teachers are horrible though such as being sexist but the school tries it’s best to sort problems out and helps all the students. Lessons are good and you are well educated and taken care of and can talk to teachers if you need anything
Good school
Springwell is great honestly is compeard to other schools

They do nothing about the bullying, even if it’s majorly effecting the child. No matter how many times you report it, they do nothing. And if they do something then they punish the child who isn’t even the one who’s doing something and the bully doesn’t even get a punishment!! It’s absolutely disgusting how they don’t do anything.
Food:
It’s a bit overpriced, hard to get free meals even if u can’t afford it and they don’t even care if you have no money and they don’t let you eat (for me, they didn’t care) they wouldn’t even let you buy food for you’re friends! Overall it’s terrible.
Break/lunch areas:
It’s a bit too crowded, and covered with litter. They don’t even care about the site and that it looks absolutely absurd! They need to start cleaning it and all that because it’s just filled with trash.
Teachers:
The way they act is terrible. They don’t even give a flying monkey whether you’re going through some stuff they don’t even deal with ur mental health they do absolutely nothing! And sometimes they give you minuses for doing nothing. Most of them do it for the money and they’ve said it themselves. They give you bic for nothing too, I got one in year 7 for drawing on a wall for saying hi on it, bic was a little to far, in fact they gave me bic for skipping my hour and a half because I physically couldn’t do it because my dad was at work till 6, and they didn’t care to rearrange it, but gave me bic instead and still gave me hour and a half and kept me in till 6pm and my dad was SO mad. They didn’t even care to take care of me and they didn’t even check up on me I sat there for hours and did nothing and wasn’t even allowed on my phone to distract myself, I was so worried and scared! They don’t care at all. They even take kids vapes off of them and smoke them! The way they deal with kids with ADHD, and Autism or Asperger’s or anxiety, they don’t even do anything for support!!! It’s so bad
Students:
They behave TERRIBLY! And teachers don’t even do anything. They bully you so much, they cheek back teachers so much, and teachers do nothing about them. Students don’t care about anything and some don’t even turn up to school because this school is so bad.
I’m honestly so glad I don’t go to this school anymore. I left at the start of year 8 and I’m so glad! I recommend you to not send ur kid to this school, and send them to another school like closer to your area and not this one. Even if you have to pay a bit of money for a taxi or a bus to send them to school, as long as it’s better than this school! Worst school ever!
