    the new uniform cards !!!

    They Teach us about healthy eating with the eat well plate, however, barely sell any fruit. Anyway, the new uniform cards are small cards with only five chances on it for the whole year to get your uniform correct until a stage three so you have to wear a blazer at all times even in the lunch and break if you don’t, your uniform card gets signed off so you only have four left recently I taking off my blazer at lunch for being hot and got my uniform card signed off. However I see none of the teachers, wearing anything like the students they get to wear T-shirts, and no blazers or anything like ours They seem to think that uniform should be the top priority, instead of learning, which is what a school is meant for, learning. The corridors are horrendous With little to no room to walk comfortably without getting shoved because of how small it is. there are 16 Toilets for boys and 16 for girls throughout the whole school of over 1000 students, This leads to queues been so long that by the time you’re at the front of the queue the bell has already rung for the next lesson. The lunch queues are so long and because there are so many people, they never have enough food for everyone and always end up running out of jacket potatoes and pizza. There is barely any Air-con upstairs in the summertime, leading to the rooms, being Too hot that they are literally sweating in the seat. Also, at the side of the day when you walk into school, there is Absolutely no one at the front gate to see who is coming in of the school meaning anyone dangerous or not could come into the school. there are some good points about friary that is that some staff Care about students learning and is nice.

    No compassion For the pupils, heartless teachers

    Wow, this school has no support for children that are being bullied. Teachers lie about situations. Some teachers in the school cannot control the children so why are they in the job? If the school do not deal with any situation that I raise, I will be going to OFSTED. It’s not the management of the school it’s the teachers, as individuals have no duty of care for the children.

    Meh the schools ok

    It’s not the greatest school If you struggle a lot with your mh then this school isn’t for you. They have lots of bullying and many people get severely punished for things they haven’t done The school is ok x
