AVOID!!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! I have never known a school as bad as this. My daughter went here 6 years ago and she loved it, but now it’s a different story under a new Head and new teachers. There are a lot of SEN students at the school and the school has no understanding of SEN, therefore give out consequences to children who struggle due to their needs . If you complain, they simply tell you that it’s school behaviour policy. Lots of children have left due to poor mental health and no matter who you complain to, Head, govenors, The CEO…absolutely nothing is done. Basically, it’s an academy so they do what they like. My hope is to get my child out asap. Just wish someone had warned me prior to me believing their misleading website which makes the school look amazing.

Not good school the teachers tend to pick favourites. In fact one time a teacher had said I hit her when she walked into me and I had to do detention and nothing happend to the teacher. The rules are getting worse and more ridiculous.

If you want your children to hate you, send them here.

Absolutely disgusting, I was a student there during the covid restrictions years.

In year 9, the main teacher for my English class was on leave due to pregnancy. She is a good teacher, I respect her a lot.

However, the school hired the most disgusting, low quality teachers to replace her I've seen in my life. For year 10 90% of the lessons weren't preparing for gcses, it was searching up words in a dictionary which I [and most other students] already knew how to use. And then to write down the meaning of said words. Did I forget to mention the horrifying inability to control a class? This carried on until a few days before my final exams [which the government said not to do due to covid. Yet they still made us do them]. Where the good English teacher came back in year 11 and took control of the class again.



Maths was absolutely disgusting. The maths teacher in the top set is good. They had the business teacher teaching lower sets, who was incompetent when it came to teaching overall.

In terms of teachers, the only average one is the P.E teacher. Everyone else is either incompetent or should be teaching at a better school due to their amazing ability to teach.

The Indoor environment is what you would expect for a normal school.

The outdoor environment is nice, due to the animals and close range to the zoo.

The only security they have there are the fences around the school. If said school was attacked by anyone, multiple deaths would occur.

The school very rarely has any activities unless it's science or P.E.

Very little handling of bullying, swearing is common in classes, and teachers side with the popular girls in most cases.

School information is average, it's all on their website.

Equal rights is poor, there were several instances of the lgbtq students being called slurs, one assembly was held to say "hey that's bad" nothing happened.

Food and meals are poor, it's what you expect to get from a school, low quality food.

If you are a parent looking at the reviews for the school, if you want to punish your child, send them here. The 3 years I was here were some of the worst years of my life.

I’m disappointed

I was bullied all the time in this school. I had my nudes spread, rumours spread and even got told by several teachers that I’m useless and a waste of space. My mental health is so bad because of this school and the students here. I got the blame for everything that’s happened to ME. They never did anything to help me or stop the students. I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

Horrible!

My daughter developed severe mental issues after encounters with horrible students, I shudder to think how the teachers treated her unfairly compared to the other students.
