    PLEASE DONT SEND UR CHILD HERE .

    A dead school to be honest . There’s too much physical bullying and verbal bullying and teachers and students are racist . This school should be shut down based on so many 1 stars even I think it should get a 0 .

    The most honest review you will get of The TPCA

    DO NOT send a kid to this school because this is not a school you want your child to be in. Firstly teachers are disrespectful and racist especially the head and deputy head of the school the school staff have no manners or boundaries to what you can say to a child and nobody would care if a teacher called you the N word . Secondly the school doesn't deal with harassment claims especially if you are not a white person. even if you are white the school doesn't care about its students whatsoever. thirdly fights break out pretty much everyday and there are police cars outside that school like 85% of the time and the school is really unsafe as gang members also attend that school as well. The school is so bad a student attempted to end his own life due to depression and I do not want anyone's child to try take their own life at a young age please don't send your kids their because the school doesn't even deserve a half star review their are only 2 nice people in the whole school and they are black every other teacher can not teach and I wonder how students pass GCSE
