Im trapped here it sucks
They don’t tell your parents good things only bad things to make you get in trouble nothing else The teachers aren’t good some teachers are very nice but some teachers your trapped with no matter what I hate my history teacher and RE the only good thing is the hive but THE FACT THE teachers ARE ONLY IN FOR MONEY
TERRIBLE SCHOOL dont send your kids here
Absolutely awful place, i’ve just left to go to a sixth form of a different school and i can’t stress how bad Bolsover was. The teachers, students and system are bad. SLT have consumed themselves with being good on paper that they’ve ran the school into the ground. On my first day of year 11 we were forced to walk in a single file line made by temporary metal railings whilst (mainly middle aged, male) SLT members watched you enter the school and pulled you away if your skirt was too short or trousers weren’t school issued. It’s all well and good wanting the students to look smart but when it turns into a line of men staring down at 11-16 year olds skirts, it’s too far and made many of my female peers feel more than uncomfortable. I wanted to move for so long but wasn’t able to due to personal circumstances, i’m so glad that i’ve gone to a sixth form of a school that is actually good destroyed my mental health. Only give their time to all the poorly behaved students who they refuse to give actual punishments to. If you are an average child who acts well behaved expected to get bullied something that the teachers don't care about. No support besides online links for mental health. Made me question if life was worth living. Some teachers r cool tho even if they don't really acknowledge my hard work and just simply reward me for behaving normally. The best you'll get is a place in a raffle of 100 students for a £5 gift card at the end of the year. I tried really hard and they still give me crap grades even though when I took actual tests I got higher than what they put at my end of year grades.. you'll thank me once you choose a different school, it would've really changed my life for the better.
bad school!!!!
i dont think it is a good school because they dont do anything about bullying they are so strict and my daughter got molested by a teacher!!!!!
The Bolsover School
I, and many other students at my school find that it is a terrible place to have to spend most of your time.
Rude school, rude teachers
Let's just say this school is rude, judgemental and has horrible teacher the amount of tiems students have to walk out of class due to the teachers the amount of times children go home crying because they have been sick at school gone down to medical (because teachers have told us to) and they don't care and don't even inform parents and are super judgemental about it and one of the women on reseption is rude incredibly rude she aways says "they won't care about you in reseption just go back to lesson we have more important things to deal with"
Awful school, do not attend
Terrible school. Constantly bullied until the end of year 11. Teachers did nothing to help, and at times punished me instead.
Great experience
Pretty good, many teachers are kind and relaxed and treat you like adults, the education aspect is very good as teachers are passionate and truly care for the students the cafeteria food is pretty nice however can be expensive at times, the courtyard is pretty large and has plenty of space for all years. The subjects offered for all students to take for GCSE has recently been expanded however I did not get to choose any of these having been a year ten/eleven when they came out which i thought was rather unfair, nonetheless I believe that overall it is a very good environment for young learners.
Awful, please don’t send your children here

Never ever come near here or the town in general
Horrific school, terrible teachers and all lies at the interview, racist students etc. The town in general is horrific, and I’m moving the minute I’m 18.
Hated my 5 years.
