Sydenham High School GDST

I am deeply disappointed with Sydenham School. The primary focus seems to be on sanctions and detentions rather than on the students education and well-being. A large amount of staff often engage in bullying behavior towards the students which in turn leads to a toxic environment where students retaliate and are subsequently punished. This cycle of negativity is detrimental to the students development and learning. I strongly advise to not enroll your child to Sydenham school.

It’s an ok school. It really depends what teacher you get.Some teachers are so lovely and kind but some teachers really don’t like teenagers and just shout at us.

It provided excellent education fro my daughter, paving the way for her life and career success.

The school are more focused on money than the wellbeing of their students and don't take bullying cases seriously. They are painfully quiet on BAME and LGBTQ+ issues, only bothering to make some effortless PowerPoint when it's in the news, basically they take performance activism to a whole new level. Personally, my mental health has dramatically dropped since being at this school so I wouldn't recommend.

The PE teachers at this school really take their subject too seriously. Some secondary students felt emotionally bullied by a chemistry teacher and an elderly maths teacher. Everyone in my year was pretty cool tho but we got in a lot of trouble as a year group.
