The Heathland School

This school is the worst I wish I could give it a 0 star the teachers are not that good and some of the teachers will give you detentions for no reason and once they don’t like you they keep on troubling you I was a student here and it was my worse experience ever I hope you won’t select this school as it is not the best decision.

This school dehumanises you. During a PE lesson I was really desperate for the toilet and I kept begging this PE teacher miss Whitaker to use the bathroom and she kept refusing to the point I was on the verge of pissing myself so I ran out the classroom to use the bathroom and I got punished for using the toilet. Another time I was left in a detention room by myself with about 9 different teachers gossiping about a member of staff. I’m not allowed to drink water in a science lab for some stupid reason but the teacher can obviously. I took the time out of my day to write this because I don’t want you to make the same mistakes as me by going here just because something looks good on the outside doesn’t mean it is on the inside

Honestly speaking went to this school years back . The school doesn't take bully seriously until I got my mum to come into school and that was my last year in y11 . Honestly speaking teachers would not do anything most off them beside head off year . And few of my teachers . In lower sets dont expect to pass teachers give you easy work

The school prioritises the grades of their students over everything else. As someone who went to this school for seven years, the school is very pedantic about its Code of Conduct and uniform and that the student morphs into robots that they mould into their definition of success (going into a STEM career). They say that their student's wellbeing is important but that has never happened in my entire time being in the school. The school likes focusing on those who are at the top and those who are at the bottom, though it is good that leaves for no support for those who are just doing 'ok'. It wasn't a problem for me during year 7-11 but now at the end of A-Levels, that has never been so prominent. The teachers do help you and can do give you the help you need but the problem is that the management does not try to show that they care for their students across all years, its clear that their reputation is above all.

Focuses too much on uniform rather than actual mental health of students and education. They dont care about bullying or our worsening mental health it's just about the grades. This school needs to really start caring more about students and not reputation. One good thing is that the teachers can be helpful and do push you to do well and there are lots of extra curricular clubs. But I'm in year 13 and not in my 7 years of being there have I seen evidence of care for mental health. Even the mentors are of no use.this school doesnt live up to their reputation. Also security is barely there. We have had someone not from the school come in with a knife and threaten students and teachers and another intruder that easily waltzed into the school and started demanding things from one student before taken out.
