    How horrible the school is

    This school is horrible they have no absolute support for their pupils. Also they don’t get any support when they are being bullied. I got assaulted during school and they said they would keep them in iso for a week but instead they were only in their for a day. They also won’t help you and the teachers are horrible and don’t care about you some specific teachers like miss Martinez r specifically rude

    This school is horrible

    This school is more than bad to say the least a friend of mine had her daughter go here but due to the horrific wag that the students are treated she is moving to a new school there are many problems with this school starting with the fact that boys and girls have to share toilets and not only that they have a permission slip with a time limit to in to the toilet and if you are over you get a detention another ridiculous rule is that if a student is that there is a late room that students are b...

    Terrible

    Absolutely terrible, failed in every aspect of pupils learning , did not support the real issues and when a plan was put in place that was working they took it away after a few weeks , your fight for the whole 5 years to get the right support but they don’t care at all about the ones that need support and if anything it traumatized said pupil with ongoing issues and mental health at rock bottom due to lack of proper support from this school

    KES is bad

    I've been getting bullied by my classmates and one of them called me through N word and the school. And it's really difficult to make friends in this school when Ur from a different country, if Ur pretty,yes, you'll be popular. A lot of people have been giving me dirty looks. And I have only been in this school for 5 months. I cry most of the time when I get home because of it..I even cut myself..so I recommend not going to this school

    Avoid at all costs

    Appalling school. Staff don’t listen and are bullies. No support for our child and no sympathy given the circumstances. Worse decision ever choosing this school.

    don’t let your child go there

    the classrooms are is a state of repair holes in the walls out dated classrooms the teachers need proper training dress more appropriately. Students struggle with homework as they are set at least 3 subjects a night and be expected to hand it in the next morning which causing a lot of stress to the students on top of that if a student wants to go to the toilet even if they went at break they are not aloud there was a case where somebody shit there self because they couldn’t go toilet it’s utterly disgusting ? and to believe it’s illegal to not allow somebody to go toilet. Even though they know this law they continue to ignore it. Next thing to homophobic comments in this school is disgusting people get bullied for being gay, lesbian, bisexual etc and when they tell the teachers they do nothing about it and make them come out to there parents. On top of that that school is just packed full of racist people. there is more but I don’t have time I’ll come on another time to finish the rest

    Bullying at kes

    If you are being bullied they will not do anything. In my personal experience i was and currently being harrased by another student at this school. No matter how many times you report it with witnessess they do nothing. I reported this issue about 10 times before something was even said. But it continues to happen. The school make themselves the victim when you dont start coming to school for issues they could have sorted. I am actually trying to get a restraining order but the school will just ignore it. When a students private pictures and videos got leaked they put in no support for the person and they are still traumatised.There are some good teachers who will listen but sadly they are not slt so they cant make decisions. I dont recommend sending your child here as ive nearly finished my time here and all i can say is good riddance king edmunds.

    Not the best

    School only cares about uniform and it’s ofsted report. And Mr Halle was going out with a students parent, and when they broke up he went off school for about 3 months.

    Homework

    Homework doesn’t make a student better at a subject it just wastes their free time at home and makes them even more depressed than they already are

    Review on schools act against racism

    The school is honestly terrible when it comes to racism and bullying. I was racially attacked and abused by a white male in my school and they blamed it on his “special needs”, he clearly knew it was racism, when I’ve told him. My friend was called the n word and told to KHS but another white female, yet the school blamed it on her being vulnerable. The school act like they care about bullying but they rarely deal with it or take notice. One of the head of years blamed my friends sexuality on the reason of his mental health, and said he could not do anything about the racism issue.

    Review from my POV

    I love most of the teachers and all the friends I've made with my time here but honestly sometimes it's shocking how poorly managed it is from my POV and I feel like they're doing their best but their best isn't working. All the subjects here are managed well and with compliance of legal requirement but the strictness on the most trivial of things when there are so many other problems more important and less focused on by them is really frustrating. I gave this poor bc I honestly think the only reason I still go here is because I'm kind of used to it but also bc my friends and some of my favourite teachers are here who handle the subjects well. Other than that I don't think there's much else I can be positive about. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone unless you have some sort of learning difficulties because the learning support department is one of the few well managed and effective departments in the school which is often a short coming in most schools. Other than these reasons I've just mentioned there's no real positive things about KES. I bet if they found out who I was making this review they'd ambush me in the Hall and send me to the headteachers office or something to get yelled at for putting my opinion across as modestly and respectfully as I think is possible and deserved. To end this review officially, I wouldn't recommend it to most people, I probably got luckier than most with my current experience. I can only hope this school gets better after lockdown and this whole pandemic thing blows over.

    KES is ok I guess

    I had issues for the first 3 years due to bullying, however, in class it was amazing and I cannot fault any of the teaching staff in any way. I would however say that the social issues with students behaviour outside of school needs to be dealt with because it is causing trouble at breaks and during lesson time. The phone lockers which have recently been added ,in my personal opinion, are a waste of school funding, they say "it helps with mental health" but it is not like that we are allowed to have our phones in anyway. Also, punishment if we are caught with our phones on is harsh, they take it away for two weeks, some people need phones to get to school and contact parents, not only is this a major safety concern for students but it also hinders their education because to access and complete homework you need access to the internet. school hours can sometimes be a bother, I have to get up at 4:30 -5:30 just to get to school on time because the school buses are too busy; if we are late to school in the mornings more than 3 times we sit a two hour after school and if that doesn't"sort us out" some students may even be excluded. I believe that there should be more consideration for students like me who are genuinely not bunking off school to resolve this issue. (The canteen food is also overpriced and gross but all school canteen food is like that so...) In conclusion the school is spending funding in the wrong way and also is making some situations worse than they should be however the teachers are amazing and I'd overall recommend going there ?
