Stuart Bathurst Catholic High School

Employs racist teachers

Unpleasant, condescending upper staff, no training is provided, very disorganised, and your needs are not considered nor respected.

I was a student at the school for 7 years. The school refuses to assist students beyond the academic environment, has no sense of commitment and sees you as a set of numbers rather than a person. They do not want to know their students, they only care about the formula funding that they receive per pupil. The teaching quality is rapidly deteriorating, with many teachers finding alternative schools that will value them more. Teachers are reluctant to stay at the school, due to their lack of communication and sufficient pay. If you choose to teach here, expect to complete more than is asked of your position. The workload tends to be unmanageable and requires the patience of a Saint, ironic as the school preaches such values. The building, much like the patience of students and staff alike, is crumbling. There are constant renovations on site, but the changes so far have been largely cosmetic, they’re trying to save face. The facilities are poorly maintained, so good luck with using the bathroom, IF they let you because it’s highly unlikely that they will. Their idea of a behaviour policy mimics those of Victorian institutions, you could say it’s archaic but considering the building, I think it’s very fitting. Rather dealing with the issues at hand, they’d much prefer to hold you against your will inside a classroom, if you’re lucky you’ll be put isolation. Trust me, isolation seems like a privilege compared to some of the teachers. The behavioural system puts other classes at a disadvantage, good luck having disruptive children forced into your classroom, because that’s how the school works. If you want a school that prepares you for life, whether that be university or an apprenticeship, look elsewhere. The school across the road is leaps and bounds better, because it actually looks and functions like a school, rather than an institution for the unwell. The only people unwell in that school are the circus of clowns known the senior leadership team and governance. If you want be disappointed, be my guest and apply, it does not get better. I would recommend this school to anyone who hates their child’s existence and wants them to suffer numerous mental health issues.

They give us this stupid app called sparx maths for our bloody homework then we ain’t allowed to wear earrings

The school was being bullied there and now they are causing my child to be put in isolation tomorrow and another child said something to my child and my child said that she called her a slag and called her mum also a slag first of all why ain’t she getting punished for what the bully has done to trigger her in the first place BAD SCHOOL WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE SCHOOL DONT SEND YOUR CHILD THERE TO BE BULIED THEN PUT IN ISOLATION FOR STICKING UP FOR HER SELF ALL THANKS TO MRS BAILIES THE YEAR 7 PASTORAL LEADER AND THE HEAD OF YEAR MRS PEPPER THEY ALL STICK UP FOR THE BULIES DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE TO BE PUT IN ISOLATION FOR BEING BULIED AND ALSO THE UNIFORM POLICY ALSWELL YOU CANT WEAR BOOTS IN THE WINTER ALSO YOU CANT WEAR SOCKS WITH SKIRTS SO IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE A HEAT STROKE DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE

Amazing school absolutely love it.

My experience here... Is bad, I have been in a fight twice and hearing racist comments about me more than 10 times. One day a student was going to fight me but I ran to the office and guess what.. They didn't take it seriously.(Could have died already cause of stabbing from bullies) I told them how many times I almost felt bad to sui**** and didn't do anything but to make things worse for me. The isolation teacher hates me a she's the one to put me in isolation the most and I feel they are doing it just cause I am black?! Kill this school not a great school. This school needs to be shut down. Immediately.

Not very good with students with medical conditions. No matter how many meetings we had with the school for things to be put in place, nothing ever got sorted out.

I am due to go to collage around September time, I asked my head of year for my predicted grades and they’ve gave me grades for spring even know we haven’t had a spring term in other words the school is useless. There was a kid that touched a year 9 inappropriately and makes jokes about touching children and every time I have reported him he’s got away with it, he did this for about a year until he left because he was being bullied

Burn it down and build a gey bar on top of it
