    School is overall abuse

    You know what is really mental abuse? Our homework. On science, we get topics that we don't even know answers to. Like we haven't LEARNED it. They could atleast do them after learning

    My journey

    I was bullied continuously for four years during my time at St. Mary’s Catholic Academy. That’s the majority of my high school life. I went to staff multiple times to explain what was happening, and each time, I was met with indifference as if what I said didn’t matter. I even sent emails directly to the headteacher and provided clear proof, including a recording of the girls harassing me. Still, nothing was done. The bullying wasn’t just verbal it included being followed around the school, hav...

    Terrible uniform and a toilet policy.

    Alright school apart from two things:toilet and uniform. Children should have access to the toilet whenever they need it. It is a human right. 2nd of all boys should be able to wear shorts in the summer! This is outrageous stupid. Girls get to wear high skirts so why can’t boys where shorts especially when girls don’t do anything at lunch but boys play football. And then they’re made to wear their blazers!

    Sodomite school not catholic

    This is not a Catholic school, this is Sodom, how is it possible to ban the celebration of Easter. Change the name of the school. Generally, it is a breeding ground for bandits and sodomites

    DO NOT come if you value your mental stability.

    I am currently a Year 11 student at this school. I have been bullied since I was in Year 7. The school did nothing to stop it, and I have just accepted it. The PE kit is outrageous as they won't let ys wear our own leggings even though the school ones are see through. The skort is also very short and the shorts in them don't hide your underwear. The SLT are specifically strict especially the female one(IYKYK). Some teachers are powerhungry and others are just not nice at all. I have been told to jump of North Pier by one and was also called a lunatic by one. Please, if you value your mental stability do not come here. I used to be very mentally strong and confident before coming here and now I question my identity and question why I even exist here because of everything the school has done. I have experienced sexual harassment as well in this school, and there was no point telling anyone. My parents were brainwashed as they thought this school is the best in Blackpool, and they still do. They don't know what it has done. People also vape in the toilets so if your sensitive to that then you are in bad luck. The food is horrible, and I haven't been able to get support for my mental health either. If you tell them that you've self harmed all they do is ring home. The school just makes all my problems worse and to be honest I feel as if they will only change if I kill myself.

    Racism

    The school doesn't deal with racism well, it's common to be racially attacked every other day. Also, the uniform rules are outragous and many familes can barely afford the PE kit. Girls can't do anything on own clothes day because 'they're trying to get male validation' or 'you just want boys to look at you'.
