I’m a student leaving year 11 of 2025 and I’ve come on here to warn parents , the kids are absolutely spiteful and will start a fight even over someone picking up a ball or looking at the funny , the toilets are horrible , they make us go at break and lunch and have barriers for in between lessons but only two of the girls toilets work in yellow area the rest are broken or some girls even leave blood on the toilets and they don’t get cleaned properly , some staff are horrible to students but act like they won’t hurt a fly to students , students could not care less about authority and the rules are ridiculous , I even said to my mum once can I go back to my old school it’s that bad , if you want issues after issues then it’s your school , my chicken burger was pink I have a photo too and all they did was give me a free breakfast and told me it’s because they test to see if one in the batch is up to temp but chicken need to be cooked properly no wonder we are all poorly all the time but yeah I can’t wait to leave , mr Astley the principle even walks around on his phone watching cricket and said to a parent who was trying to get a bulky incident sorted where her kid was beat up for her being gay and he said I don’t deal with the kids you need to go to the office for that
Absolutely appalling. The only GCSE's I passed was RE and Music, and that's because I am a Christian and guitar player.
What kind of school has teachers telling students that they won't get anywhere by getting a 4 in their subjects, which bear in mind is a pass!?
I don't quite know what the fuck they were thinking bringing out this ridiculous rule that students get suspended for a day for missing ONE detention, or "correction" as they like to call it.
Shit excuse of a school, I will not ever send my kids there in the future if it doesn't improve. If the fucking thing is still standing and operational.
Felt like an absolute prison, had very minimal support in my time of being suicidal when I was just 12 - 13 years of age.
I'd like to know exactly why nothing was done when one of my best friends to this day was accused and hunted down by the whole year group after being accused of racism!! I never heard of anything being done, aside from letting him go half an hour early, bear in mind some of the kids would hang about and wait for him!
Fix this shit, it's absolutely disgusting to see this school still operational. It gets a bad review from ofstead, then continues to fuck it up more!
In my experience, Miss Leonowicz’s teaching approach has raised significant concerns among students. There seems to be a pattern of questioning students’ achievements, as good test scores are often met with accusations of cheating, even in the absence of concrete evidence. This has led to unnecessary test retakes, which can be discouraging for students. Additionally, disciplinary actions, such as detentions, appear to be given inconsistently or for reasons that seem minor or unclear. These practices have created a challenging classroom environment. I strongly believe that these concerns should be reviewed to ensure a more supportive and fair educational experience for students.
This school is rife for bullies, teachers do not care and sweep it under the rug . They care to much about a kid not doing a stupid ass correction and to send a text telling the parent they have a correction and not tell them what for is disgusting and unethical. Not every parent can have their phone to hand to pick up a text . My child is now suspended for not doing a correction. How about the school deal with the matters in hand before issuing corrections willy nilly . My child is constantly pulled from lessons for absolutely pathetic reasons and for that , my child's work is suffering. I wish I had never allowed my child to attend this god awful place . I wouldn't even call it a school more like a detention facility . I'm removing my child immediately to much has happened and no one has dealt with it . Does someone have to die before its taken seriously or is it just a joke to everyone. Half of the teachers look like they're fresh out of college as well . There is no respect whatsoever from anyone here . If you have any sense you wont send your kids here. Absolutely horrific place .
Bullying in this school is the norm and the teachers do not care!! The staff in charge favour children giving them unsatisfactory punishments when they have done wrong. Overall the children in the school have no will to learn due to the teachers lack of ability to teach and ability to be non ignorant. DO NOT SEND UR CHILDREN HERE 😡
It is absolutely awful. Kids are bullied & threatened with no help whatsoever from teachers or upper management. Kids don’t behave & freely wander into different classes. No repercussions for repeat offending children yet the victims of bullying are punished.
Do NOT send your children here. Claim to be Christian but their lack of action on anything meaningful suggests otherwise. Just an absolute shitshow.
