    Testwood

    The school is okay although there is some very silly rules about hair and piercings that need to be sorted. Some teachers treat you like you are less than them although the unit staff is lovely and treat you like actual people.

    No time for mental health issues or any form of autism

    They want nothing to do with children that have mental health/ ,Autism,it’s awful . Hopefully when the current head leaves it’ll be better but Jenkins needs to go with her

    Decent school

    A decent school, staff are nice once you get to know them. The teaching is brilliant it’s a pity some of the kids are horrible. Best teachers are Ward and Murphy

    School is bad, not recommended

    School is poor. Never ever recommend this school to anyone with SEND needs. I have been treated unfairly throughout the whole 5 years of testwood. Best teachers are Mr Murphy & Mr Ward by far. Headteacher is horrible who literally excludes you if you forget your tie. Shit school on that part however can’t fault the teaching

    They are an ok school

    Horrible school the headteacher doesn’t like her students and the only good teachers are mr Murphy and mr ward. Also loads of kids get bullied and the teachers do nothing about it. but they do have an amazing art and photography department.

    Alright

    Not recommended for people with any form on SEND needs. Awful. Do not treat all students equally and they do not care about bullying. Best teacher is ex head of year mr ward
