Awful

Place is a sht hole
Went into reception to collect my daughter and it stunk like wet carpet and it looks so old fashioned another time i went through the whole school for parents evening and the humanities department is absolutely vile i couldn’t believe it compared to my childs previous secondary school which is also in basildon jhs is absolutely disgusting. The classrooms are absolutely tiny. The tables were sticky, the floors looks grimey. Glad my daughter is leaving next year.
