St Peter's Catholic High School

Whilst the food isn’t my top recommendation of the school, neither is the teacher and student relationship standard. Don’t get me wrong, the maths teachers and RE teachers are absolutely class, however the odd teacher here and there seems to have a lot to say about 15 year old girls life styles! Whilst uniform rules are absolutely understandable in a catholic school, to have someone that shames kids for fake tan and makeup, saying that future jobs wouldn’t wanna hire them, is a bit far fetched. And also to isolate students in headteacher offices, and disrupt their learning for mascara or concealer is really taking the mick. like i said the maths department, RE department and office staff are absolutely made of gold and couldn’t fault them (every department the same but these stand out severely in the school)… mental health crisis team seems to have improved over the last 5 years, but not improved enough. bullying is talked about often, but never seems to be punished, or certain teachers even passing it off as “banter” or “being soft”. sports facilities are class. if you’re popular. Sets in PE are often mislead and not accurate to curriculum, think i could perform you 7 just dances, but not tell you a single thing about how to play football. set 1 PE often do netball, and set 2 did about 5 months of badminton. and boys do what seems to be football or rugby every lesson, apart from the odd “athletics” where it’s just a bleep test running up n down n left n right. would send my kids here can’t lie, but mostly just to see if stuff actually gets improved that needs improving. safety and security is okay, except for the fact i’ve seen multiple students just walk out of school and seen past students stood outside with baseball bats:.. should probably start locking the door near nurture guys! yuh.

The school love students who are gifted and talented and have no interest in any others. If your child has special needs this is the wrong school. There is a culture of nastiness among the SENCO team and the management team cover it up. Bullies have free reign. Facilities are worthy of a 1970s comprehensive. Dreadful place that tries to cling on to its past reputation of excellence under the previous head’s leadership. If you’re a boy, forget it - you don’t matter here If you’re disabled - make sure you don’t need any support

If you’re clever and need no support this is the school for you! If you need any academic, emotional, or special needs support - please go somewhere else Food is dreadful - and expensive. Very cliquey teachers - and the teachers not in the clique do not have the guts to speak out Old fashioned equipment Inflexible attitudes Reception staff rude Everything is too much trouble A nasty nasty place wrapped up in a Catholic facade.

At the end of the day great school. Food was ok and teachers were kind. Wide range of opportunities for all students. Made a great effort with collages. Maths, English and science seemed very difficult for my peers who where not academically gifted. Effort made to help those with mental health problems but mine developed later on and where only touched on once. Would send my kids there.

Excellent support academically. However very frustrating dealing with some teachers attitudes as they were worse than the kids. Bullying and mental health was not a priority. Even after leaving it still effects you. Think the overall safety and the teachers priorities need to be addressed. But overall when you look at the school as a whole and what they want to achieve. I’m happy I spent 5 years there. As not every school is perfect and are definitely more under pressure these days. I would send my future children or family there.

Awful for mental health , especially some head teachers . Only care about grades and reputation rather than health or wellbeing of pupils . Some teachers even may get physical when you do not do what they ask ( dragging , pulling , cornering ) Biased towards sporty people and popular girls , extremely sexist views , has had basically a pedophile and done hardly anything because teachers did it believe it . Do not lock any doors to the school ( Anyone can get in ) .

Food is meh some days the dinner ladies wip out bangers like the burgers on wedges but now it’s bloody quorn QUORN!!! Seriously someone should tell them not everyone is a feminists and against eating animal’s I just stand there and desperately beg for some real meat but no fake meat.
