The Radcliffe School

I left Radcliffe last year and my mental health has immediately gotten better. First I would like to say a former student from my year group was sexually harassed whilst going to the toilet, the door was opened by a group of boys from the same year group and they took a bunch of photos of her on the toilet. NONE of them were punished or had any consequences for there actions they school just said they couldn’t work out who any of them were when there was a camera directly pointing at the door (not to the point you could see inside but just enough to see students accessing the toilet and around it) secondly they did nothing to stop bullying or harassment from being stop in-fact they just treated the misbehaving students like small children gave the stickers and rewards for being good like there 5 no they are all capable of knowing that it’s not okay and not acceptable yet still did it. They treat sen kids like there children having a disability does not mean you cannot understand the difference between borderline sexual harassment and what is socially appropriate. Multiple sen teenagers in my year group harassed girls staring at them, touching them and even making sexual gestures at them. NONE of them got told off or taught that is was wrong I understand there disabled and might have trouble understanding things but you can still teach them that it’s not okay. Please do not send your child there. They might make themselves seem like a good school for any type of kid but it’s an act I personally know many children who have got pulled out of that school.

The racial bullying was off the chart when I attended. Teachers either turned a blind eye or blatantly declared it was nothing to do with them - they were just there to teach. BNP leaflets were passed around in Maths class, no racial slurs or graffiti were ever punished. One of my friends was spat at. School was a very hostile place for anyone of colour. Students wore skinhead attire & shaved heads and jeered & taunted minority students all day every day, with abandon. Left lasting trauma and depression in those they preyed on. An untold story of Radcliffe school. I would never send my children there under any circumstances. My hope is/was that things change for the better. However, it's disturbing to know there's been a more recent case of a student who committed suicide due to bullying at this institution. Seems the legacy continues to present day - unchecked.

Daughter did management move as was struggling in previous school due to ASD. 7 days in and the headteacher decided to shout through a busy corridor at my daughter whom did not hear her! then after shouting OI!!!! my daughter turned and was asked where her blazer was! my daughter masks and can come across rude as she shuts down in situations. the headteacher decided she is not welcome at the school and failed the managed move, please note rules are to come in every day (she did that) never be late (she did that) go to lessons (she did that) what a disgrace of a school!!! i only found out it had failed due to previous school contact me. I asked for an email stating why it’s been failed, they said they will ask!!!

I might not be the best fan of this place but it does have some of its good sides so just try it out first

There is no school better than this one
