Terrible
Terrible school teachers don’t care about mental health or anything
not good at all
DO NOT ATTEND SWAKELEYS SCHOOL
swakeleys is not a good school at all all firstly the staff are racist to black and brown students and do not take care of children who are getting bullied only to the point were the child has got jumped or hurt really badly and all they can do to that child is put them in isolation not even an exclusion or expelled a friend of mine got jumped really badly and the whole school went against and the teachers did nothing for u and your child sake do not attend this school for your wellbeing and if your homophobic do not attend . thank you :)
Honest review by a Swakeleys student in yr 10
Swakeleys was okay for me , I mean the teachers are good , the only issue I had was that bullying is not dealt with properly and also don’t be fooled by the fact that this is an only girls school so since it has no boys the school is a safe and quiet and friendly place , that’s what I thought and it turned out to be completely the opposite, the girls are not nice and the teachers will only believe u if u cry , they make u write tons of statements and In the end they always support the wrong side of the fight/ argument and overall in terms of academic performance it’s good , however they only act like they do tons to stop bullying whereas they dont, and also here’s a friendly piece of advice : for your options in yr 8 don’t choose health &social care and childcare and also never talk back to the mean girls and also beware of the teachers in the English and maths department ( those are the worst teachers) and the food from the canteen trust me will be the worst food you’ll ever have and also another thing I hate about this schoo is that even if it’s super cold outside unless it’s not pouring heavily outside they don’t let students come inside the building whereas the teachers chill out in the warm heated staff rooms and the rules about your phones is super strict .. hope it helps
Shitt school
This school is absolutely terrible ESPECIALLY the staff. The receptionists are extremely rude and talk to you with such a disrespectful tone yet they expect US to respect them. Absolutely no one has respect for the teachers who are like that, when getting our coats from lockers there is always a woman who is telling us to get out and she gets all up in our faces. YOURE wearing a coat so why cant we ?? Furthermore the teachers do nothing to improve the schools and they cant even teach. The maths Department need serious improvement and several of the teachers cant even answer simple maths questions
Very toxic
To begin with it was alright I guess but it’s really gone down hill, such a toxic environment the girls are very bitchy and I can’t count the amount of times I’ve dreaded going to school due to the people. I’m sure most all girl schools are similar but I would not recommend it
Honest review
So as some one who's has studie in swakeleys I strongly believe that this school have so many lin teachers hy don't specify rules enough they give out detentions for no reason and Its a really bad school in general I think this school should be shut down ASAP the teachers are all fake and there put on an act for parents and for new year 7s on there first week when actually is a real bad school please don't sign up your making a big mistake and help those who I still in swakeleys by shutting down the school
rubbish school
If I could I would give this school 0/5. The staff here are extremely rude especially the receptionists who are always using the RUDEST tone with you when you ask them simple questions. The teachers have ridiculous rules like you can’t stand in large groups (especially for POC students) because it seems “intimidating” when really it just seems like a racially motivated excuse. Teachers leave all the time without notice, insufficient cover work left and when students ask what to do about the missed work, which is crucial for those who have exams coming up, teachers often ignore us or say there’s nothing they can do about. Most teachers here are clearly biased and continue to make excuses when all students know this is not the case. The schools mental health “support system” is a joke, you have to book an appointment for a 15 minute talk, which could take a while to even get a time slot, it does nothing and most of the time parents are contacted. There are many racist students here who make extremely hurtful comments yet the punishments for them are so minor and most of the time completely ineffective. The school needs MAJOR improvement. Do not send your kids here
disgusting.
the school is actually horrible, the people and teachers are disgusting. teachers dont care if you get discriminated and dont do anything about it. someone had tk get plastic surgey due to a bad injury but the school didnt expell the girl whom did it. lets guess, shes white. all i tell my mum is that i want to leave this school but she believes the media which brings up swakeleys is outstanding which is not true at all. its very bad. i wish i could move, the school is just disgusting and ruins ur mental health.
Review
This school has some really worrying and troubling policies. Teachers don’t have their priorities in order and prioritise the wrong things. Such as breaking up friendship groups because it’s seen as ‘intimidating’ when we’re not even doing anything wrong. With some teachers, they leave without notice for the pupils and when we ask what to do about the missing work so we don’t fail exams, we’re told to deal with it and there’s “not much they can do” this school needs to be governed better and overall I wouldn’t recommend.
Swakeleys school for girls
I’m a student at swakeleys school for girls it’s absolutely terrible there’s physical fights everyday the teachers don’t listen to your problems .the girls there are horrible they are all toxic and start arguments for no reason and ppl I know have been jumped by a group of girls in the school .I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!
Former Student
The school has pretty problematic students and recently those numbers has rising, many students just pure rude. On the other hand staff are very ignorant and lacks communication with each other or with the students.
However, I guess many staff are lgbt friendly and help out a lot regarding student's education, especially with older students who will have their exams and help us to achieve our best grade.

Bullying

Ofsted need to step in
Many of the staff are garbage they don’t do anything about bullying but if you say anything to them there very quick to protect them
Main blame is families most out of marriage kids

My experience: Swakeleys
Swakeleys school didn't deal with the bullying I experienced the teachers knew about it and didn't do anything, the education is good but the girls are mean and the school mismanages their money they spend the money on cameras near the fire buttons.
Behavior
I would like to say my experience at Swakeleys was amazing but it actually wasn’t
I got bullied every month every year and it never got properly dealt with.
The school itself as in the teaching is amazing but it’s the way Swakeleys deal with bullying and nasty behaviour of others!
