The Hart School

2.7 star rating is appalling very bad the teachers have 0 respect expect for other teachers and themself very bad

Fantastic school! Up and coming. Great teachers , really supportive.

I’ve loved my last 4 years here.

Idk what to even say to say it’s a bad school is underestimated they don’t teach they just nag and lie to parents making u fall out with them at home, they don’t control the school properly nor do they run it they don’t do the jobs properly they just tick boxes it’s not like they want to help u they just wanna make u worse.
Most of the time the pastoral team are good but then again there never there at break and lunch, which makes u feel like nobody cares and then when they get back they send you to your lessons every time even if u have spent all lunch and all break waiting for them and u haven’t had no food they will still say next time come at break and lunch and they have like stupid rules like u can only wear one ring which makes students feel like they can’t express themselves. Also the teachers here say about mental health and tell people to speak out for help, and when i tried getting helped, i got no help at all and the school just made it so much worse. this school is killing me and nobody cares.

I’ve had great experience.

I was a student here left in 2022 the environment and way they regulate rules is appalling. Young girls me included all of young women which by the way a senior male staff kept and referring us as “females” and told us our Skirts were distracting we even were split up the boys in lessons while all of the girls were in the hall being told how and why our skirts were distracting ( they always said how boys were looking at our legs and was distracting for the Male teachers this is beyond concerning every girl student even many boy students will tell you how many times only girls were being pulled up for our skirts being too short one teacher in particular said “ you could see your bum” not to mention they changed the skirts and made only ALL GIRLS PAY WITH ONLY A FIVE POUND DISCOUNT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SKIRT this one was nasty it had the logo on and didn’t fit properly so instead 98 percent of girls wore trousers THEN THE SCHOOL a had another r problem in lesson time ( by the way this was during 2021 less than a year from completing GCSEs) they did MANY MANY online meetings DURING LESSON TIME saying how girls or as the senior male teacher called us “females” our trousers were distracted how? Because apparently our ANKLES WERE SHOWING you got detention -YES THIS SOUNDS EXTREMELY SILLY BUT THAT IS HOW TRUE AND ATROCIOUS IT WAS- the school principal who is a woman which again makes no sens because why is She saying about our skirts??? They were sending young girls DURING LESSON to detention if you showed your ankles. Please please do not send your child here especially if they are a young woman, I wish the teachers cared about the sex education ( WHICH WE NEVER HAD ONLY CONCEPTUAL WAYS ON HOW TO NOT GET PREGANANT) as much as they did with uniform, we did not get taught about consent until the end of year 11 WHICH MANY STUDENTS WERE LAREADY OVER THE AGE OF CONSENT and might have already done so without realizing the importance of consent. It is appalling. AND the teachers??? Many amazing teachers especially maths and science and art teachers however, many acted helpless and DID NOT SAY A THING about this problem WHICH EVEN THEY SAID IT WAS WEIRD AND DISGUSTING THE AMOUNT OF OVER SEXUALISATIOn the sex education is non existent plus the fact they TEACHERS over sexualised young women how do you think boys acted? Keep this is mind. Wouldn’t this allow them to sexualis women further? BECAUSE THEY are literally being taught how to specialize women. I am appalled and cannot believe that I survived high school I honestly in year 7-9 loved it but it was dreadful. Also makeup is forbidden and any self expressionism is forbidden yes even eyeliner. ALSO I was a student who was always wearing the right uniform before the skirts got changed I wore high knee socks above my knee, and in year 8 when I was 11 years old I was pulled aside not physically but a teacher a woman teacher told me these exact words “do you have any tights, because boys are looking at your legs” she was implying I was influencing boys. And yet again they go to young women thinking they are the problem this has had an impact on my mental health for many reasons the main one is getting over and recovering from the shame I felt for having a female body I waanted to hide it. This is truly damaging and I know it will get worse at the hart school. This is a sincere reminder not to bring your child there it was so clinging ask any student they will tell you.

this school does not care for your wellbeing and mental health and is more focused on your behavior. They are trying to get rid of the low academic achievers.

In all honesty, the teachers are absolutely fantastic and supply education to us students. The p.e facilities are brilliant for those who are hoping to go on further for GCSE level sports, the class rooms are all up to date with plenty of learning materials. There’s been a new consequence system introduced called “isolation”. Which means, if you slouch, disrespect someone or do something wrong you get a warning. If you do it again, you get removed and put into a isolated room with other misbehaved students and sit quietly. You are expected to do 3+ pages of school work per hour and work through breaks and lunches. Then, you serve an hour after school. This seems extreme, but it is understandable. However, there are many issues regarding the schools attitudes towards the children that go there. They call us ‘young adults’ yet we are not allowed to dictate when we can go to the toilet, which goes against our human rights. There is constant bullying going on towards minority students including homophobia, transphobia, racism and ableism. For a ‘zero tolerant’ school there seems to be a lot of bully’s throughout the school’s years. Instead of addressing these issues directly and focusing on these life threatening issues, they make amends to the school uniform policy. We can’t wear: makeup, hair accessories, jewellery, fake tan, nails and many other things, or red coloured hair! This is no disrespect to the teachers who are just trying to earn a living and influence our lives, however the school’s priorities are definitely in the wrong place! The after school curriculum is brilliantly diverse with plenty of choice. Overall, it’s an ok school.

they take away basic human rights and expect you to treat them amazingly, people are doing there GCSEs and they’re putting them in isolation for having fake tan and make up on!! they say the education is main priority but its honestly a prison. They lock all toilets and only unlock them at breaks and lunches. The only problem is we are separated by years and we only get access to our “zones” and sometimes then toilets aren't even unlocked and when they are they are jam packed! another problem due to the “zones” is the fact that there isnt enough food on our tiny little portable “lunchboxes” to supply the whole year! by the time you get to ordering your food, theres none left and so you go hungry. This school is horrendous. During breaks and lunch you arent allowed in the buildings, and there is no shelter on the zones, so your stood in the cold and rain all because the teachers dont let you go indoors. dont consider taking your children here! it will ruin them and make them miserable until they can leave!

So bad. Teachers talk too you like shit and expect to be treated like royalty. Take away your human rights, dont care about mental health in students. Absolutely horrendous school
