Do NOT go there
This school is awful and the teachers care more about the uniform then kids, speak to them in army by instead of a child responding yes you have to say yes sir or you get screamed at, my child’s autistic and he’s got trauma and not went back since

Student review- don’t send your kid here!
I am hating my experience here, this place is awful here is why: Teachers only care about uniform not actual education. Bullying here is dreadful. Some teachers should not be allowed to teach and I have had some experiences I will never forget of teachers humiliating me in front of the class. They will send you to isolation for getting upset and teachers aren’t scared to tell you to shut up! The medical won’t send you home even if you are feeling really sick and food is way too over priced. Past...

Bad experience
I got chased around for not wearing a blazer when the boys got away with it. I was bullied relentlessly and they did not care. They did NOTHING about it. If you’re upset as a student they speak to you in a really condescending tone that makes you feel worse. the bullying got to the point where I couldn’t bring myself to school and when I’d come in late the ppl in attendance would make jokes about me and talk down to me

Dreadful
Pretty dreadful school. Majority of teachers are unhelpful and do not do well to help underachieving or SEN students, and two were fired in the last three months for being pedophiles. They seem to care more about uniform - this affects the girls very negatively as the pedantic teachers punish them for minor things such as light makeup and skirts being 1mm too short - and the overall image of the school than the actual education (and don't buy into the whole royal family/Lord Mountbatten BS, it's no different from any other comprehensive!) Security is evidently very poor as a few weeks ago two students from another school were able to sneak on site. In terms of the students, they all either smoke weed or vape in the toilets and in general are poorly behaved - the school is also on the Everyone's Invited SA list. In terms of positives, the school's outdoor areas are actually quite nice and well-maintained, however students only have access to them for probably only 1 month of the school year anyway. Parents, please don't send your child here. The time I spent at this school was probably the worst 5 years of my life

most miserable 5 years of my life
terrible. teachers are bullies who clearly weren’t very popular at school take out their anger on children. i was banned from the canteen and the lunch ladies got told they weren’t to serve me because i was wearing a pair or earrings that i said i would give to him once i got food. on my leavers day an slt teacher assaulted me by shoving me out of the tennis courts and dragging me, then denying it to my mum by saying i shoved him ( he is bigger than 6’0 and a gym addict and im 5’0 so i don’t th...

Rubbish school
Do not send your children here! This school cares more about how they look to the outside rather than caring about the students education and wellbeing. They tell you off for the smallest things wrong with uniform and have teachers standing outside the 2 toilets that are open mostly all day. Even when the toilets aren’t shut there is still only about 1 that’s open because of how tight they are on letting you go to the toilet(once a term) i think it’s ridiculous.
- Parent1.021 February 2024
Thinks it’s a private school
Just don’t send your children here if they have any additional needs.

I HATE IT
Teachers are mean unless your parents work there, they make it seem great but once you are there it’s crap! They care more weather you wearing mascara than actually educating you, I never behave badly, I am polite, I do my homework yet I am treated badly by teachers, I always ask my parents to move school but unfortunately they do not let me. I hate this school more than anything and learn nothing DO BOT GO HERE

DONT COME TO MOUNTBATTEN
Student get treated unfairly. Teachers sexyalize students. Bullying. Student would be scared to come in because of fights. SA. the food is rlly bad and with a high price. The teachers care about uniform more then studying.DONT SEND YOUR CHULD HERE
- Parent1.027 November 2022
Still no improvement
Some teachers especially in the history department should not be allowed to teach ( if that's what they call it ) . These poor kids are demotivated and thoroughly miserable where is the support and encouragement they deserve!!

DONT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE
DO NOT send your children here. Most teachers are cruel and while putting an emphasis on anti bullying policies and mental health awareness, they’re happy to tell a student having a panic attack to ‘Shut up’ and putting them in isolation instead of listening to the child. Not to mention turning a blind eye when children struggling with mental health problems are blatantly upset. I have even experienced a teacher humiliate me in front of my classmates as I was crying. While attending this school...

don't be catfished
Not α good school,cares to much about the uniform and is unfair to the girls and blame it on "being professional ".Α student shouldnt have to beg to go to the toilet before walking out.I have reported things that haven't got looked at or wasnt cared about.Time consuming homework which dont learn anything from.Petty about jewlerry and small details.Handing out detentions and inclusions seem to entertain them.Nobody should spend the day in inclusion for α hair cut or α ear piercing that cant be taken out.Nothing like the school advertises it as??♀️.Some teachers there don't even know how to teach,just tell them about their personal life.Also has been reported on the sexual assault list soo.

hate it
absolutely not as a student i’m in major beef with my mum for sending me here. half of my teachers are nice but some of them are terrible and not to mention Mr elvidge (absolute fitty though) mate taught my tutor absolute shit and is too busy underlining the title on the board then teaching us anything. they care more about my skirt being too short and having bracelets on then my education. please don’t send your child here unless you want them to experience a modern day concentration camp ? xx

Don't send your child here
I am a student, I joined in early October soon as I joined I got harassed and got called names and now I seen many fights go on they are more caring of the uniform and the toilets are disgusting they are never looked after properly and the amount of times I had to report of transphobia and homophobia said to me they won't do anything about it and in lessons I get called tr@nny and f@ggøt in class and when I said something I got in trouble and I reported someone selling vapes I got put in isolation

This my review
Teacher care lots about uniform but education is generally good though some teacher are annoying and creepy. Overall its nice though the grounds are kept well just building look a bit old and need to be updated.
- Parent1.019 October 2021
Terrible school avoid!
Terrible school. More focused on uniform than actually giving children the education they deserve. Teachers are patronising and talk down to parents and also lie. They refuse to admit there are any problems with the school - no hot food at lunchtimes, fights and bullying to name a few. I regret sending my child to this school, no wonder there’s such a high turnover of pupils.

Teachers
Some teachers are absolute gems but most should not be able to teach. A serious evaluation of the teachers should be conducted to help the students or they will end up struggling.
- Student1.05 July 2021
Crap!
Lots of teachers don’t like children. Lots of fights. Teachers don’t notice or don’t care
- Parent1.029 June 2021
Awful
Writing as a parent - Do NOT believe the image that they present. It is just that - an image. Bullying is swept under the carpet and ignored. Children are not properly supervised leading to regular fights. They eat where they want so kids will have food thrown at them - teachers don't care. My child is only in Year 8 and has witnessed fights - one so bad that children were taken in an ambulance. But you won't read that anywhere. Another of my children had a fire extinguisher sprayed in their face but the school didn't even let me know or follow up to see if she was O.K. Their motto 'We care, We respect, we achieve' is only true if you look on social media or if they are currently filming. A few brilliant teachers are mixed in with some who don't like children at all. Oh, and you must do your homework but no teacher will look at it!! DIRE.
- Parent1.026 June 2021
Dreadful
Bullying is rife, food is thrown at lunch where children eat wherever they want - on the stairs, in the corridor, in tutor and they are unsupervised. School have to be chased if you want to resolve any serious problem but will be quick to email you if your child’s shirt is untucked. More concerned with outward appearances that acknowledging anything that is actually happening.

MB school review
The school offers excellent extra curricular activities and opportunities that are really beneficial for your future. The facilities the school have are great! One thing I will say tho is that the school is extremely pressuring at times. They are far too strict on uniform & don’t necessarily always seem to care about the students well-being as they often set their standards for students way too high , setting too much homework & pressure on students as the school cares way too much about the reputation, they spent thousands of pounds on a STATUE. Some teachers however at the school are absolutely amazing and genuinely care so much which makes the experience far better as they’re so helpful & approachable. The tutor times are really helpful too alongside the careers advice.I made some amazing friends here.
