    AVOID

    Shocking school, doesn't deal with bullying issues and if you're child has SEN issues look elsewhere. The headmaster is an arrogant liar who only cares about his A grade student's and his beloved rugby team.I would avoid this school at all costs !!!

    Bad for people with additional needs

    Hated it. I was severely bullied (by students and teachers) the staff won't do anything about it unless you threaten to get people higher up involved. They say they're "inclusive" when the one lgbtq+ club they have was refused funds to help students struggling and instead went to rugby teams that already have things to accommodate them. I had a pride flag ripped up in front of me, while a teacher was watching and told "you don't deserve this" the teacher did nothing. It's not a safe environment for people with mental lower mental health. I've ended up leaving the school for online classes because of this. Hope this helped.

    Awful School

    Has not control over billing and puts way to much pressure on students. Needs to be shut down really.

    Bullying problem

    I'm in the Cotswold school and from what I've seen they don't deal with bullying well. It's great at teaching, but bullying is a rather big problem at that school.

    A Wonderful School!

    Well I used to be bullied quite a lot however the teachers stepped in instantly. Please ignore the bad review it’s probably some stuck up popular kid who all they care about is video games and doing nothing towards their education. The school is actually quite good with helping us towards our GCSE’s. The results have been really good with lots of people. The school is a great place to attend, so if your thinking of applying, please do! They are also amazing with dealing with mental health, home issues, and other stuff like that, bringing in professionals to give a helping hand, and employing very effective teachers. They make sure your school experience is full filled, and helping you get amazing results on exams, as well as encouraging time to just relax. School trips vary from London to China and America (maybe further). Myself (having gone to Barcelona to explore the wonderful city and France and Belgium for a battle fields trip) have found it an absolutely life changing experience. This school is wonderful, don’t even think twice!
