The Brakenhale School

This school is horrible for children above the age of 13 it’s like a military camp students are forced to line up outside no matter the weather for 15 minutes in complete silence and if someone is to talk, they will go inside do line up again and that student will receive a after school detention. Some staff are excellent with the children and are so caring but others only care about uniform, work and homework. If a task is left uncompleted it will result in a detention. If a student is disruptive in class no matter if they have a disability or not they will be sent to RR, for the whole day and miss out on important learning. Do not send your children here if you want them to be damaged. It’s only good for education and nothing else.

If I could score it a 0 I would. It is miserable there and I would not recommend this school to any child.

If your child has SEN then they are used as a scapegoat. Their views are disregarded against other students accounts of events. They can’t handle children who find it difficult to regulate their emotions and who can only ‘fight or flight’ in certain situations. One or two misdemeanours and your child will always be in the wrong never enough to prove themselves.

I find this school and its rules revolting,the fact that if a student is having an emergency if they need the toilet,they have to wait atleast 10 minutes to be escorted to the toliets is extremely disappointing.Many students have wet themselves or left classes and been punished with detentions unrightfully.These new rules,not just the toliet rule all of the new and old ones are just overall pointless,the students are angry and clearly aren't listening to the rules and good for them.

The school is overall okay, look wise… but they do not care about mental health, they tell you to just Drink water….
