Unfortunately this school is not recommended, care more about school uniform policy which is ridiculous in this day and age than the education of the children dont let you child accidently ladder there tights or forget to take there pandora bracelet life wont be worth living for they will miss a full day of education for that .

This place is... Interesting to say the least.
My experience here through GCSEs and now my A levels has been pretty much utterly horrible. I have a vast variety of stories to tell but for the most part I'll focus on like 2. Throughout year 10 I was going through the darkest points in my mental health and as such, school did barely anything, they'd shove me to the back of classrooms for not engaging in lessons I cleary didn't understand and requested help in, and would treat me like a failure and like I was misbehaving. No matter how many te...

Bad experience overall
Really did not enjoy my experience here. Absolutely no support for mental health. I found myself and many others I know of having panic attacks, anxiety attacks, and crying in the school toilets. Treats students like animals rather than human beings. Only positives is that there are inclusive toilets and some of the teachers are decent.

Jowhit?♀️
They don’t do anything about helping you in lessons.

They don’t do anything for mental health. I had to get pulled out of that school bc if I didn’t I would have already have been dead. And they just treat u like numbers

good school
Overall my experience at this school was great. I achieved very highly in my GCSEs, but unfortunately I felt let down Mental health support was not something they were good at, particularly if someone was having a rough day due to depression or anxiety. Many kids labelled as “naughty”- even though they were having a rough day I also didn’t feel challenged by some teachers. My background may have been a reason, as I come from a very low income family and so the stigma is that I won’t do well. C...

One of the best
This school is one of the best in my opinion. The teachers are so understanding and make strong bonds with the students. It isn’t perfect but then again what school is there is always something that needs improving, however I believe this school is on its way to near perfection.
