St Mary's Catholic High School, A Catholic Voluntary Academy

I go to St Mary's High School and I am currently a sixth former in Yr 13 and in my opinion there are some problems I have to mention.First there are too much teachers who make students feel bad in certain ways. They make them feel neglected and when there is a problem some teachers do stuff that is very unprofessional.I remember when someone said something bad and the teacher didn't do anything.School is already draining and let people's self esteem low and I've heard that Yr 7 and 8's girls toilets have been locked which is highly unacceptable because it is quite common for girls to get periods at 11-13 which is very bad when I found out about this I was fuming. Other people's consequences that they deserve go to the whole yr which is highly unacceptable. Sixth formers toilets are sickening. However my good point is that students get high grades and can pursue their careers.All of this is why I rate it poor.

This is a great school and the student talking about left-liberal views is upset because his racist and bigoted opinions aren’t welcome here. The school has a zero tolerance policy for such behaviour and is accepting of many views and religions unless they discriminate against others. The standard of education is also great.

St Marys is academically, an excellent school. It is the top school in the area to achieve high grades and opens many doors for further education/career options. However, the school lets itself down ever so much with the certain bias the school holds towards certain ethics and politics. The teachers are commonly discussing a left-liberal subjective opinion towards all issues without demonstrating a balanced, objective view. Furthermore, members of staff promote BLM, Desiccation of Sir Churchill’s Statue, “White Privilege”, “Toxic Masculinity”, Abortion, “Anti-Trump”, Tarnishing all men as sexual predators and many more beliefs. When pupils discus or show interest in more conservative politics they are quickly villainised and shut down. Even one extreme instance where a pupil had to write an apology letter to their teacher on speaking out on behalf of the previous issues in a RE class. Another issue of the school are there overpriced, expensive meals. They have done nothing to tackle this issue besides increasing the price of it and adding more fast food options.

Very left liberal views on many things, in most if not all areas of the worlds issues, English and RE are very bad for this, often declining other views but other than that generally good

Genuinely the most amazing school. It’s so accommodating to everyone and the values are incredible, it really is like a family, the support is beyond amazing. I’ve been there from y7-y12 and I can truly say I’ve had the best high school experience i could’ve asked for

It’s very good academically & good if you’re into sports, music, etc. but there are definitely issues with food (in Sixth Form it is very overpriced and unhealthy) and also with dealing with discrimination. Overall though it’s a good school & it is improving in its weaker areas.

The teachers are very strict and the food is poor but overall it isn’t bad

Great school but could be improved in some areas
