Stalham High School

As a year 7 i get treated differently compared to the other year groups, some staff members treat us like little kids because we are new to the school, many teachers have been off for extended periods of time with no explanation given to students.
Some teachers complain about the most small/irrelevant things that go on at school.
Another thing that has happened this year is that a ban on doing laps around the school was put in place along with a phone ban, I understand the phone ban as many schools have it but we were given no time to time to adjust to it, if certain staff members saw a phone even if it wasn't in use on the first day the ban was in place they would immediately confiscate it and you would have to get it back from front reception at the end of the day. The ban on doing laps around the school is completely unreasonable because there really isn't much to do due to another rule that has been put in place is that the only rooms you are allowed in at break and lunch are the English rooms, refectory and Library unless you have a detention in another room due to the plan being to build two big conservatories for the school as addons to the refectory (I learnt this from my sister who is a form ambassador) but the truth is that the school has no budget for it.

Teachers hit the kids
Call them names
Shout very loudly at them
Substitutes don't teach them nothing

Many staff members at the school have clear favourites and if you aren't one of them then tough they won't like you.

The Lsu (Learning support unit) doesn't do much in terms of helping you, I asked to do pe in there once because I didn't feel as if I could go to lesson and they said well it's a mandatory lesson so you have to go, I've done one class in there before but that took a lot of persuasion.

Another issue is with a certain subject that the school has entirely dropped for one year group due to the teacher not being in for ages after months of subs and not learning much from it.

some great teachers who are helpful and can trust and others just aren't very nice and make it obvious who they favourite and treat students unfairly. feels like some students get more opportunities than others due to favouritism. VERY clear divide between skill levels. "learning support unit" (LSU) favour students if any are having issues or a disagreement with other students and honestly aren't very helpful at all, would never go to them for help. students are pretty disrespectful to eachother and staff. overall pretty mid
