Bishop David Brown School

BDB is a mid school if you ask me. The teachers always expect lots of work from you and pretty much shout 24/7 about little things. The headteacher is ballistic, always shouts for no goddamn reason, I've never seen him smile or anything istg. Some teachers are actually decent but others just act like they have sticks up their arses. Some people who go here are fucking demented, istg I wanna beat the crap out of them. At least 3 teachers leave every year for another school cuz of how cruel and annoying kids can be towards them. The school food is overpriced and only some of it is good.

Special needs

Bishop David Brown School - Awful

An awful school with disgraceful teachers.

My niece has learning disabilities but, this school refused to provide the basic care and needs for a normal child, let alone a child with additional needs.

The teachers bullied her for not being able to keep up with the work, that they refused to help her with.

Teachers told her she is a bad child and wthey would not take into consideration that she has special needs.

The teachers have no understanding or education on special needs, nor did they stick to her EHCP which is a contractual agreement.

The stress this school has caused for the entire family is shocking.

This school has seriously messed up our lives and our heads and my poor niece has had a huge set back in life from attending this school.

This school also tried to stop her from receiving an education from a specialist school and tried to punish her for seeking help elsewhere.

Unfortunately all the children attending this school are suffering as a result off the poor education and bad communication between the teachers.

Stay clear from this school if you want your child to be happy and successful.

This school should be closed down before something bad happens to one off the pupils.

Terrible school

This school is terrible.
Please do not send your child here as the bullying is out of its limits.
The teachers always side with the bully and blame the victim and punish them.
Teachers always have favourites and take advantage of students.
The food is disgusting and expensive and some of the staff have very aggressive mannerisms and belittle students.

bdb school is shit

The school is absolutely shit.The headteacher acts like a lanky dickhead who doesn’t give two shits abt students health.He only cares about the teachers and he screams at students and acuses them of doing things.He has threatened to permanently exclude me for doing nothing . There’s cameras in the toilets which if u ask me is messed up!!! Teachers expect students to complete so much work in barely any time. They scream at students for having coats on inside when it’s fucking freezing cos most of the heaters don’t work.The food can be kind of nice but is over priced. 1.50 for a slice of pizza that’s soggy?? Fucking nasty.Toilets aren’t even clean.

Student who goes to BDB

Absolutely shit I feel like offing myself every time I step foot in the building. The school loves looking amazing to government officials but in reality is depressing and acts like a prison more than a school. Students have no freedom the teachers even have to escort the students from outside to their next class and can’t even talk in the hallways INBETWEEN lessons???!!! Such a sad dull school with no personality.

Worst 5 years of my life

Honestly worst 5 years of my life. Headteacher is degrading. So is a majority of the teachers calling us stupid and incompetent in their classes. Girls toilets arent cleaned and we where even told in an assembly 'you must understand that we dont feel the need to clean them that often' so the sanitary bins are flooded. A small handfull of teachers are just trying to make the best of a bad situation but a majority of the time they mentally abuse use and then they lowered fundinf and couldnt the wonderful mental healthcare they previously had. Then they brought a new 'mental health' specialist who only helps year 8s and 9s for anxiety. Completely disregarding depression anger issues young carrers and the countless other issues a young child could be gping through ESPECIALLY with exam pressure. Poor handling of education and exams. Having my year miss out on great opportunities by cancelling prom (due to covid) but had also given the japanese exchange students to the year below and 2 years below, who would also have them next year, taking a wonderful memory and experience from a already mentally exhausted year. The pe teachers bully and peerpressure. They are constantly building new facilities such as the leisure centre causing chaos and disruption. Bullying is rarely delt with despite their so called 'achievements'. Canteen food is also grim and overpriced. £1.50 for a slice of greasy undercooked pizza heated in a microwave tapk about their "cuisine' caused me to bring in my own birds eye chicken for it to nearlt get confiscated as well as certain sweets foe being unhealthy when i feel heartburn just looking at the food options. Honestly a waste of my time.

this school is so terrible, only a handful of the teachers are nice but they expect way too much from you, the head teacher is too harsh on us and they don’t give us support that we need.

terrible school

is so shit man, it’s so unhygienic i don’t think the toilets have been cleaned since the 60s. the headteacher thinks he’s on it but he’s just some lanky dickhead who squares up to little children and threatens them, there was even one teacher who was mentally abusing a child 👄👁👄 compared to other schools i’ve been at, even academically this school is miles behind others. most of the teachers don’t even try and teach you properly they just show you something and shout. so bad
