St John's RC Academy

Overall the school is good, But the students not so much, A lot of the people just start on people for no absolute reason or something they have heard, The teachers on the other hand don’t do anything about it, If you go to them inbetween class time, you’ll be automatically sent back to class and told to “come speak to them at lunch” And when you do they will not be there and they will be in a meeting or doing something else, so you will not have an opportunity to speak to them. People here are horrible, Starting fights on eachother for stupid reasons which are pointless that could be sorted easily. Coudnt tho because if you did speak to a teacher it would make you look like a pussie, Some teachers treat students differently even tho they spoken to you once, If you have had a fight with another pupil, they will not care about the backstory and the reason you’ve hit them and will tell you that you are “not the victim” when they do not even listen. 7 Minuets to get changed for PE? Or else you would be marked late even tho the teachers take 5 minuets to get the doors and changing rooms unlocked. Mostly all they care about if uniform and not students mental health, they only care if there is a fight and then you get detentions or suspensions, Even tho if you would be getting bullied for several months. If you are planning to come to this school just remember to stick with the right people!!

Extremely severe bullying problem. Students are absolutely awful to each other especially if you are a bit different. It varies from constant whispering and teasing to putting each other in hospital. They have no respect for anyone. They throw rubbish in front of cleaners because "its their job to clean it up". Teachers are complicit in all of this. All they care about is whether you're wearing correct uniform. Detention if you don't bring PE kit but who cares if you're being very obviously harassed. They are very extremely strict about what you're wearing, where you're sitting at break times but absolutely nothing is done about the behaviour of students to each other (of course if you say anything bad to them it's a disgrace)
The teachers are not very good at teaching either I have spent many french lessons where the teacher simply sat at her computer the entire time, I have been taught to make a milkshake by stirring nesquick into milk and have witnessed a teacher accidentally release dangerous gas into the classroom.
They will not help or care about students mental health. Teachers do not understand that forcing a child who is suffering from mental illness to do something Infront of the class can be absolutely detrimental to them. They do not understand that ignoring obvious bullying can have devestating long lasting effects on someone. I did not stay at this school for long but the damage it has caused to my mental (and as a result physical) health is profound.

Ppl bully me all the time I tell it to the teacher and they say they will do something about it well they don't all they care about is there reputation.
