St Boniface's RC College

As a parent of a vulnerable child from a migrant background, I feel deeply saddened and disappointed by our experience with this school.

My son, is a gentle, respectful and honest student who has done his best to adapt. Unfortunately, he has received minimal support in terms of language, emotional wellbeing, and nutrition. He has become noticeably underweight since joining, and despite my repeated concerns, little has changed.

More distressingly, the school has actively obstructed our attempts to transfer him to a safer and more supportive environment. They passed false information to other schools, claiming that my son has peer support from students who speak his language — when in fact, those students had already graduated and left. This misrepresentation likely contributed to our application being unfairly rejected.

Just yesterday, my son reported another student for secretly taking photos of a female teacher. Shockingly, the teacher wrongly accused *him* of taking the photos — even though he had left his phone at home. He came home devastated and said, “I tried to do the right thing, and I was punished for it.” He also told me he feels some teachers hold prejudice against immigrant students.

This experience has broken his spirit. He said he no longer wants to help anyone and feels unsafe and isolated.

The school has failed to provide a safe, fair, and supportive environment. Communication is poor, accountability is lacking, and vulnerable students seem to be treated with suspicion rather than care.

For parents who want their children to grow with dignity, empathy, and real support — I strongly recommend avoiding this school.

********, should have been shut down years ago but can’t because it’s “part of the church”. Had to get other teachers from different schools to come and teach because no one wanted to be a full time teacher their

Teachers really care about their students as people as well as pupils. Focus on fun and results. I've had a great few years in attendance and I recommend to all.
