Styening grammer school
Styening grammer shcool
Hello I would like to inform you about this school the new rules are atrocious as they have now put a rule in place saying that students should only be allowed to go to the bathroom one time in the whole day and they will check if they have already gone this has been very bad because everyone is going at lunch/break but as soon as many people are going there is very long queues and this is the most horrible school ever as well as we don’t have very much time in lunch/break so we will be spending the whole of break/lunch in the queue and when it is the end of lunch/break we have to go to lesson or we get sent to a classroom where we have to sit in silence and won’t be allowed to go when it was really necessary like for periods or other personal issues over the really hot days we couldn’t take off our blazers in corridors and other places around the school even queuing for food and drinks as well as the food needs to be better because there isn’t very much choice and most of these reason causes fights and conflicts between staff and students as well as we now have to hand in our phone to be allowed to go to the bathroom if we don’t have a phone which my parents think are horrible rules because it will cause a big issue in school for students as well as teachers and parents the have just recently taken away heat packs and we aren’t allowed to have the ice packs if we haven’t got a serious reason to have one we aren’t allowed double piercings they make us take it out or we have to cover it with ear tape we aren’t really allowed makeup when people are very insecure and it would help to have some on we also have a rule that 15 minutes into the lesson and you cannot go in the first 15 mins and the 15 mins at the end of lesson some students like to have music and gum to consecrate in class we aren’t allowed to get food if we don’t have a blazer which is horrible leading on to the prices of food in the canteen some people can’t afford to eat because of the prices if we don’t have a blazer or tie or anything really we have to hand a phone to get one from the office and if we say we don’t have a phone we get searched to see if we have one or not no hoop earrings no trainers
Thank you if you read all of this please take this into consideration when joining this school. #shit school

I wouldn’t recommend!!
I recently had the unfortunate experience of attending this school, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts. Honestly, it seems like the teachers are more focused on enforcing strict uniform policies, particularly regarding blazers, than on providing a quality education. It's frustrating to see them prioritizing appearances over actual learning. The emphasis on how students look rather than how they perform academically is disheartening.
As for the teachers themselves, many seem to lack the necessary skills to engage and educate effectively. It often feels like they are just going through the motions, which leaves students feeling unsupported and unchallenged. The atmosphere is far from conducive to learning, especially with the rampant bullying that goes unchecked. It's alarming how little attention is given to the well-being of students. Instead of fostering a safe and inclusive environment, it feels like there's a culture of picking and choosing favorites, which only exacerbates the issues of bullying and exclusion.
One teacher even introduced himself as the “bad cop,” which sets a negative tone right from the start. It’s as if they take pride in being strict rather than being supportive. The lack of personality among staff members contributes to an overall feeling of disconnect. Mental health seems to be an afterthought, with little to no resources available for students who may be struggling.
I also have to mention the concerning issue of open drug use at the school. It's alarming to see that this is happening without any real intervention from the staff. Instead of addressing these serious problems, it feels like they are turning a blind eye, which only adds to the unsafe environment for students. The lack of action on such a critical matter is extremely disappointing and makes it hard to feel secure while trying to focus on education
On a brighter note, the food isn’t awful, and the subject options are decent, which is a small consolation in an otherwise disappointing experience. Overall, I can't recommend this school based on my experiences.

do not go here!!!
My two daughters have repeatedly been bullied and harmed by teachers it got so bad I have had
to take them out! One of my children was pushed into and table and shoved by a member of staff. She was already frightened to go into his class and this was my last straw she called me in tears and then got her phone taken and she ask for it back to talk to me and then the teacher accused her of trying to assault her. Although my daughter was not near her and was in fact being body blocked and push’s by a 6’5 larger male member of the staff and them got suspended for it and though we reported it the school blamed her. My other daughter on the other hand got strangled by her geography teacher NIGEL FLUDE who’s lesson was already an issue she walked to the office to ask if she could talk to the hoy about it they made her fill out a form and put her in isolation for the rest of the day for walking out of her lesson!! NOT HAPPY

canteen
I hate this school, the worst of it is that the canteen is terrible, I never get what I want and I always get told off for taking to much food, and how’s there’s never enough for others in queue.
Secondary school
The toilet was on fire
Toilets are atrocious, I have a condition that means that I need to go to the toilet more often and one time I went in and it was on fire. ON FIRE, how do you even achieve that.
In all fairness though they have very accommodating of my condition. So just consider that before sending your child here.

Realistic view on steyning grammar
After turning over into my final year at steyning grammar I have concluded my reasoning to a firm disappointment on the expectations that steyning grammar have set.during the first year at this school I was treated like a minority the school had no genuine care for there students,I avoided using the toilet for a matter of time,but eventually went upon my self to go.after seconds in the toilet I saw literal feces smeared all over the walls.nonetheless have been offered a uncomfortable amount of harmful narcotic’s throughout my time at the school.
Would not recommend 😊

School is bad
I don’t really like learning and it’s quite a bad school I wouldn’t recommend
It’s OK
Honestly some of the reviews a very over the top. I go to this school rn and it’s rly not that bad. All the ppl that say they get bullied isn’t the schools fault it’s the kids fault but the report forms a very good tbh. U basically fill out a form and they ignore it. Teachers r alright, but one smells rly bad and is rly dodgy. Some teachers r rly crap as well but some r good I guess. The food is alright, the building is nice, and I think it’s an alright school. The bathrooms rly aren’t that bad as well.
Pizzaring
Soggy pizza very soggy pizza soggy pizza soggy pizza soggy pizza baggy trousers baggy trousers
Attendance = bad
Attendance sucks
Honestly they hand out rewards for being not being sick if your sick you don't get anything
It is the same with funerals or personal issues
They give rewards to people who don't throw up or feel a bit sad that someone they love had been hurt or worse
Handle it a different way

GYET OUT!!!
This school has yummers.
Gyats are bigger than a supermassive black hole.
But the rizz is lower than the Mariana Trench.
And some teachers are so skibidi they cause me brain damage from being so bombastic.

Pls read
This school is terrible the teachers threaten the children and they can make them insecure and they don’t stop bullying xx
Don’t listen to the negative reviews pls
Don’t listen to any other negative reviews
This school cares deeply about its students no matter race,gender or sexuality
It has a assigned curriculum support room for any student’s with a learning or psychical disorder
The bathrooms are actually clean despite other reviews
Also despite other reviews the food here is actually very good
There is some teachers that could be better but the majority are kind, caring people
There’s also a massive Field to play on or a court if you wanna do something else
There is a library with a kind and friendly librarian
It’s also just a overall good school I do recommend and it upsets me that it’s gets such a bad name

It’s mainly the teachers
Steyning has its good moments
Despite other reviews the school itself is good, it’s the teachers that really make up half of these reviews
But the school itself isn’t that bad
Just the teachers
Most of the teachers in LS are supportive and caring and do regular interventions with students who need it.

Oh and btw the food makes me want to flip my own stomach out and cry.

History is the best
MR HOWIE ON TOPPP I am only rating it 5 stars for history by the way all the other lessons are really bad
BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do not send your kid here. i moved here from shoreham academy in year 9 2022. the way i have been treated is disgusting. i’ve had literal bloody tampons thrown at my face, i go into the CANTEEN toilets and i’ll see shit not flushed and smeared over the walls occasionally. not only that, last year people used to watch me pee , record it and post it on sussexleaks. and also someone called me bum-batty-boy because someone pulled my trousers down and revealed my genetalia and my behind, where the sun don’t shine. also to add on, i saw 3 boys push the teacher with crutches down the stairs, and she proceeded to seizure.. while they pointed and laughed then threw a ham and cheese bagel at her head. they started telling her to do the silly salmon.
also. on the toilet walls, is a shrine of girl nude photos and labelled names and body parts…
when there was a christmas tree in ahoy , students decorated it with tampons, vape boxes and condoms.
talking of condoms, some students like to do the naughty time in sixth form toilets. as i decided to bunk my lesson and i saw used condoms. weird.
don’t send ur kid here g

Fun ish
Somewhat fun ……………………….. So Yeah
Pls don’t come here
I don’t know how this school has been opened scince 1614!? Like wtf this school is so bad
Rubbish
Worst school I’ve ever been to, don’t go here.
Please listen to me
This is the worst school in the whole of England. If you send your child here, they will have no education, no friends, deal with vaping and drugs, get bullied, eat the worlds most fowl food and get mental health issues just like I did. If you don’t want to listen to the other reviews, listen to me when I say, rock road is horrendous, towers is weird, and shooting field!? I don’t think I even need to explain, it’s ugly unhygienic and YOU DON’T LEARN ANYTHING… I moved here in year 8 from another school and hate it here. It was the biggest regret of my life, and now… surprise surprise… I have mental health issues! In addition to this, they start GCSE early making you drop subjects early!? Like just why. I will never be able to express the amount of hatred I have for this ‘repulsive building of uneducational studies, thugs as thick as pig sh*t for children’d, irratationally unhelpfull building that somehow ended up looking an being a mental asylum for the mentally thick tw@ts’. Honestly, I don’t even care if you send your child here or not but this is not like the fact. I would understand why you wouldn’t listen to me, cause no child would type “ahhh, this is a positive educational school”, they would only type crap about the school like any school on this website. But listen to me when I tell you we need to make a revolution for the downfall of the sh**est school in England. I honestly have no idea how this school has been open since 1614, but now is the time to take this school, no sorry it’s not even a school, this sh**h0l3 of a school under the back end of a bus to be run over. This school is so bad, it always was bad, in fact, if it entered a bad school competition it would come 3rd because it is bad. Please, please. I was completely sane before I moved to this pigsteye. Now, for Christ sake on the England holy church which yes, this school supports. Don’t come, work or send your child here.
Parent
This school cares more about your uniform than actually teaching you. My daughter has repeatedly told me that one of the teachers has told her to take of her socks because she is wearing them over her tights. In what world does socks effect her learning. They need to grow up and actually start to teach there students. She also got told to take of her jewellery. It had very sentimental value to it as her grandma (who has recently passed) had given it to her as a gift.
I FEEL UNSAFE HERE🤬🤬
THIS IS A TERRIBLE SCHOOL. IT HAS BEEN ON SOCAIL MEDIA ABOUT BEING THE STRICTEST SCHOOL IN THE UK! MANY OF MY TEACHERS HAVE SAID I CAN ONLY GO TO THE TOILET IF I SERVE A DETENTION FOR IT! THEY DONT SORT ANY PROBLEMS OUT. WHEN YOU COME IN CRYING THEY ASK YOU TO FILL IN A FORM AND GO STRAIGHT TO LESSON AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT WHATSOEVER.THE TEACHERS HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE WITH CONDITIONS. DOMT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE IT GIVES KIDS ISSUES🤬🤬
DONT GO TO STEYNING GRAMMAR
steyning grammar school doesn’t care about your mental health or anything unless it revolves around them being payed, one of the head of years threatened to give me a detention for refusal to go to lesson because i was outside having a panic attack and didn’t even think about me or my well being, i haven’t been to school much over the last 2 years because of anxiety and even though ive been diagnosed and my doctor has told them to give my authorised absence they say that i am skiving and give my unauthorised absence. my parents have tried to make steyning work for me but even the “safe place” curriculum support is literally so bad. they have a “quiet area” where there is a couple of chairs and a table. it’s not quiet whatsoever and they don’t support you even if they can see you suffering. this was mostly a rant about my experience but if you are thinking of going to this school don’t. you will regret it.
Steyning grammar
I would rather shove a grenade up my @ss and lick a cows @ssh0 e then go to this school honestly it make me want KMS it has given me lots of mental issues like ptsd. Kind regards your fav student love u xx
