    Do not come to this school

    Very horrible school. The education is very poor and the teachers mock and try to act like the students. One of my teachers flirts with the boys in our class and she swears without facing any problems. Our headteacher also cares more about the uniform than our well being. All of our good teachers have left because even they can’t put up with him. My parents had to request a meeting with him because the school wouldn’t do anything about my little sister getting harassed by another student.

    It is a good and well organised school. My son attended the school for two years and has made excellent progress. The headteacher is very strict and that's the reason discipline is maintained at St Mary's. Although the school do not have enough resources but students striving hard to achieve good grades. the teachers are very respectful and working ward towards the wellbeing of every student. i highly recommend the school.

    Terrible School

    Treatment of teachers is appalling. High staff turnover due to a sociopathic, unethical and malevolent Headteacher who the staff and students have no respect for and ridicule him behind his back. Student teachers end up as Head of Year and then Head of Department as soon as their training is over which is a joke and they become very arrogant. Some younger teachers in the school were very nasty and condescending but were actually incompetent and ended up leaving the school after two years as Head of Department as they could not do the job properly. Kids were let back into lessons no matter what they did to other kids or to the teacher. Kids were badly beaten up, even girls and the bully who did it would be back in lessons laughing and boasting about it straight away. The Head Teacher is so desperate to change the results of the school he does not care about the safety of the students or the mental health of the staff which is very worrying. Lots of staff were off with stress. Headteacher tries to get rid of older staff who are too expensive and then give all their resources to new NQTs who are cheaper. He and his mean and spiteful deputy are very ruthless and inhumane. Do not work here or send your children here as the safety and mental health of staff and students is not respected.
