Horrendous
Bullying is rife and the disciplinary process is shambles, inconsistent and the focus at the school is not set on education. There is a managerial problem here at the school. You are better looking past Bohunt schools as it seems to be in a delusional business focus, rather than academic attainment and safety. The safeguarding is horrendous and their complaints process is not followed nor safeguarding protocols. Lack of professionalism from staff that are managing the school. It’s actually very...

The school is the definition of mediocre
There are quite a lot of bad things about the school like teachers that never engage the class, and the food which varies from bad to mediocre. However some teachers keep the class interested and working on the subject, and the curriculum is ok so I feel like you should only have this school as a reserve if your other options fail.

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.

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.

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.

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.
- Student3.022 March 2024

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
