Pressure
This school puts so much pressure on the students when they are doing things like sats,learning and writing. They mainly put pressure on the year 6 students who are getting ready to do their sats. They put tremendous amounts of effort into not helping you with things like maths English etc. but instead pressuring to do well on your sats. They should be helping you understand what the exams are for instead of just telling you to do well. One teacher who I’m not going to say their name put the most pressure on me and others who was in my class telling us we HAVE to do well.
It is alright in most areas
School is good. Some staff just act as if they cannot be bothered to do their job and show no spirits in front of the children and clearly have favourites. Meanwhile, Some staff are excellent role models and show high spirits and dedication. Two members of staff which I shall not name, really made primary school such an enjoyable and memorable experience, those two members of staff really made such an impact on my life and I could not thank them enough. Students behaviour is utterly disgraceful, the school tells the children that it is wrong but take next too no action whatsoever.The staff just shout and shout about it but get frustrated when nothing changes.They need too take into consideration what the best course of action is for each scenario instead of just shouting in the kids faces.The school is just so focused on the church and how they appear rather than the children, The headmistress is a lovely lady with an incredible personality which reals shines through when she leads the school. She is perfect for her job. Meals are very small, undercooked, inedible, the kitchen is a disgrace. This school is average but nothing special.
I have heard some things about this primary school
I have her that it Needs work and Isn’t perfect but isn’t bad. I think it got worse when mrs bramhall died . I have heard the school dinners arnt good and that KS1 was very fun and that upper KS 2 is a lot of pressure expecially during y 6 and SATS. I have also heard it’s an alright school. And I have seen that they use alot of technology at this school. I have also heard that some teachers are rude but some are extremely kind and helpful
I do not recommend
It wasn’t great. Teachers weren’t the kindest
Pressure
The pressure. I have been told that there are tromendous amounts of pressure out on the pupils at this this school. I don’t know if this is true but I do believe who I have heard it from . From what I have heard I think the staff just need to care more . I have also been told there are some amazing and kind teachers and the head principal is a very nice lady but i don’t know who to believe.
It’s ok
It feels like some teachers don’t listen and don’t care about ur well being. Like I’m stressed out but they put pressure on us that’s unbeatable. School dinners r under cooked and the portions sizes r small . Some very nice teachers tho and good tech. It feels gloomy around the school since mrs bramhall died.
This school causes depression don’t send kids here
AVOID SENDING YOUR KIDS HERE……..
Avoid
The headmistress sorry principal is a self indulgent narcissist who thinks more of herself than the children.
The staff are rude. The ofsted report is worrying.
