The beginning of the end for my education.
I literally attempted suicide in the bathroom at this school due to the constant failures to provide support to me for my autism. The mockery and disregard I endured here makes me angry and impacts me to this day. Unbelievable that you praise yourselves on your autism support. If you have a child with any level of support needs steer well clear of this school. When I struggled to attend after years of mistreatment, I had to physically shove the head teacher off of the car door to let me go home...

Bullying to the point of suicidal thoughts.
I’m a parent of someone who went here a few years ago, my daughter was bullied to the point she was prescribed anti depressants. The school took no proper action against the bullies ( a gang of 20 girls) so my daughter snapped and hit one of them. That resulted in her getting a 3 day suspension and NOTHING for the girl(s) who started it. We removed our daughter due to the school taking the bullies side. This happened over several years. Toxic environment that is detrimental to trying to learn.

this school is disgusting
former pupil this school never cared about my feelings or mental health. teachers were awful and picked favourites. one teacher shouted at me in front of my mother at parents evening for no reason. one memory which will forever scar me, was the fact they brought in an anti-abortion protester. i understand it’s a catholic school but preaching views like this to young girls is absolutely appalling and very un-feminist. avoid at all costs

Don't think about coming here
I know many students hate school but I have been to 3 different schools and have never hated a school more.

Don't send your daughter/s here!
Don't send your girls here for the better of you and your girls! My daughter comes home everyday drained from how badly she gets treated. At first, I thought it was just her getting picked on by teachers but they pick on everyone over a tiny little thing they have seen sometimes not over anything. The school has ruined my daughters mental health and this is why she is moving. She comes home and describes it as a prison and when I have been in the school for meetings I have seen examples of teach...

Don't send your daughter to HX
Bullied to the point I planned to end my life (was not given any support from safeguarding) Only stayed alive because of one good teacher Transferred schools mid GCSE course I don't recommend. Please don't send your daughter there.

Nightmare
Just…. I’ll never recover. Maybe I wouldn’t be this way if I had got support. I understand wanting to raise your child in a catholic way if your a catholic family, but this is not the way, why my education was forcibly taken hostage by non stop religious spew is beyond me. Teaching me math, and teaching me about Jesus shouldn’t take place under the same roof.
