    this school is NOT good news!

    Do not enroll your children into this SCHOOL! Bullying is a huge problem and so is racism and homophobia. You’ll hear racist remarks being thrown all round 24/7 and it’s disgusting. Fights happen often here and what do the teachers do? Don’t give a damn!!! They preach mental health but this school is the opposite if you want it! Not a suitable place for 11-16 year olds and SO strict! Make students feel awful and in the wrong 24/7. Preach about being different and expressing yourself but won’t ev...

    DONT GO TO THIS PLACE

    I would grade it zero if I could, I spent 5 years at this school and I would NEVER send my kids here because of my experience. To start off the schools mental health system is complete and utter shit, for example after a mental health crisis they would only help you 1-2 months when you needed it for longer. They are very inconsistent with what they say and do, on one hand they say that mental health is very important and they drag us in during the morning to say how important it is, on the othe...

    Terrible, just terrible.

    I attended this school from approximately 2013 - 2018. My experiences were awful from start to finish, mired with an hostile environment and pathetic teaching standards. Many of the teachers are rude, vindictive and spiteful and often see themselves as some hero or amazing person when in reality many of the teachers at this school are terrible people. Namely the school operates in a very sexist way discriminating against boys silently, the girls have always been pampered and praised meanwhile...

    Poo stain

    I went to this school for 5 years and honestly was the worse thing I could’ve ever done as now im wheeling around in a wheelchair disabled after all the shit I was fed from near on every teacher. I also can’t explain how unhappy I was to sit in a classroom with a teacher sleeping and snoring and then shouting racist remarks at me(won’t go into detail). The food though was the only thing that kept me happy but also the issue of my diabetes and the unholy shits I had for weeks on end Jesus Christ...

    Psych ward

    Where to start, first of all the head should have been binned of ages ago as the lack of leadership is so poor from her I’ve seen more leadership come from a brick wall than her. Uniform rules joke why are the teachers(male) commenting on young girls skirts and telling them they’re too short and what’s the excuse it’s distracting for them surely that’s peadophillia. The reason I say the school is a psych ward is that half the kids would rather kill themselves then talk to the so called guidance counsellor who doesn’t understand that confidential means telling no one especially all the teachers in the staff room over a chocolate digestive. Last thing if you want ur child to be safe at school don’t bring them here as any Tom, dick and Harry can just waltz through the gates without a care in the world and personally teachers won’t give a shit this is what I would call a nonces dream. If you want your child to be happy at school don’t send them here as I guarantee that the only lines they’ll be doing are ones on there bodies

    NOT A SAFE PLACE

    PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THING. This school is terrible. They are banning school skirts for being to short, I go to this school and its the worst school I've been to. I suggest not going to this school because the rules are ridiculous. They have a go at me for wearing trousers or a skirt? like what am I meant to wear. same with jewellery if you have more then one ring and more than 1 ear piercing in each ear your get detention? who is my facial piercings distracting lol I'm old enough to get them. They always tell people to be themselves but your not allowed. This school makes it seem like they support LGBTQ+ but they don't at all. I hope this school gets shut down and honestly I wouldn't send your kids here. Your skirt is meant to be 10cm above the knee ( they say a hand) but u get told off if it isn't at your knee. They are also looking to see if boys trousers are too tight around their "area". surly that's not allowed right? They are giving detentions to people because of their figure in a skirt, that is no where near a students fault for a figure. Everyone is sick of these rules and don't want to be in this school anymore. Teachers shouldn't be looking at peoples figure. The rules are completely wrong, the teachers in this school wear much more revelling things and way more piercings and died hair. I will not listen to these rules for students until its fair. They have put a man as head of skirts, as a female student I don't feel safe in the school. This is simply the truth of The Blandford School. The head teacher is a lovely person and very polite to me and other students but these rules aren't fair. what do you want us to wear if we cant wear these skirts? every school uniform shop sells these skirts and other schools and wear them. I have worn this type of skirt since year 7 I'm now a year 9 and now my skirt is a problem? Bullying is also a thing in this school and isn't handled well. Another rule is that you aren't allowed to show your shoulders. I'm sorry but everyone has shoulders everyone has seen one before? This school is unsafe and anyone can walk in and its true because I have experienced a drunken girl skip through the school touching the students and puling her trousers down. Many kids are in AMR because they don't want to go to school and lessons because they are being bullied or have depression from this school. This is a review from a group of girls who go to this school. we all want to leave but we cant because its the nearest school. I do not care if they give me detention for a skirt. I can not afford to go buy a skirt and nor can many others. Another rubbish thing about this school is the food. There was plastic in my brownie, I wasn't too bothered its a simple mistake while making them but when I told the hub worker they told me not to tell anyone and gave me another brownie for free, I did not eat that.
