    Don't come here.

    This school is terrible, they don't give support to children who need help, they just threaten parents and pupils with social services. The lakes school makes you line up at lunch like your in prison waiting to go outside. And on top of that, they don't let you go to the toilet even if its an emergency. If your late by 3-10 mins you get an after school which is unnecessary. Don't come to this school.

    Massive dissapointment.

    Terrible school. Lazy teachers who seem to actively dislike children. Ridiculous rules, toilets blocked off, lunch served at 1.20pm so all pupils are absolutely starving and unable to concentrate for most of the day. Abysmal lessons, most departments are lacking in funds and decent staff. Pastoral department make things worse. Do not send ypur child here.

    The lakes

    Poor food, only 2 nice meals. Education is alright however I used to fall behind. Poor support and c1's and behaviour points given out like rewards.. You could get a detention for simply breathing too loud at this rate.

    The lakes school

    The lakes school is a welcoming environment but just needs to fix those problems with the schools which are outdated or just woreout but overall it is a good school with nice and friendly teachers and staff
