Don't go to the hollins mate
Okay so someone legit got called a stripper by Mr Bridges, the pedo, also most the teachers generally are terrible like in all honesty how do half those teachers maintain a job, all the teachers ever do is yell when we ask questions even tho they don't explain properly. Like fr if ur gonna yell have a point. Also nobody learns anything cuz it's either stuff we already know or the subject is so boring no one is listening, they give out detentions for not having ur shirt tucked in like it's going to change anything. Honestly just a terrible school don't send your children here
HORRIBLE HOLLINS
The school is honestly so bad, I hate going there
DONT RECOMMED
DO NOT RECOMMEND !!!!!
School full of bullies and inadequate food
The hollins is an ok school. They say they have an anti bullying policy but they do not deal with bullying appropriately. I was at this school and had to leave after not even being there for 2 years due to the amount I was bullied and nothing was done to stop it or prevent it. Lessons were ok, a bit boring but like most schools. Food needs improvement, the options are not varied and the best day was chippy Friday. I went most days without my lunch and nobody questioned it until I said something. In English, one of the teachers taught us about goths for a full year which was extremely boring and irrelevant to most people, as well as it not being on the curriculum for a years worth of work. The amount of homework in year7/8 was unmanageable and their behavioural system needs improvement. If your child can put up with bullying and doesn’t have a job or things after school it’s not too bad, but make sure to take a packed lunch!
Good school guys
Hollins is really good sen ur child here
Humpty dumpty hollins
Its absolutley shocking, go there now and it is appauling. Wanted to leave since yr7
My experience
There are some amazing teachers at this school and I was able to learn to an incredible standard leaving with 3 grade 9s. However, there are some aspects of the school e.g. the ways they deal with bullying and certain situations which are unacceptable. They are awful at preventing bullying despite making promises to help or stop bullying.
My experience at the hollins
As much as I learn so much at this school me going there has caused my mental health to decrease so much since my arrival. They say they care about it and that students should feel able to talk to a member of staff but half the time the counslers the teachers we should be able to trust with out problems are busy having custodial parties. And we are taught nothing about how to GT a job or anything we will need when we leave school. Also the food there is not suitable for dietary requirements of students whether they be vegan, vegetarian or any other diet. My friend is a vegetarian and dairy free she couldn't get just potato's and gravy because she "had" to have chicken with it aswell even though she told them she's a vegetarian
