    Would Not Recommend

    My daughter had an absolutely horrendous time at this school. The teachers were dishonest and rude and made other kids at the school uncomfortable. I was gutted when I found out what was going on here, it isn’t okay at all. Full stop. I am not surprised, since this is a private school and is more susceptible to teachers who are wanting to take advantage of children’s mental health because of their own problems or stress. Which is extremely unprofessional, may I add. Other parents have also s...

    Disgusting

    This school is dangerous and hazardous for your children, There are little to no consequences for violent behavior here and it is sometimes even rewarded. There was a student here who I will not name who ran offsite, stole a bike, hit a teacher with a bike and received no punishment and later in the afternoon was taken bowling as a reward. The only excuse the staff gave was "well she didn't even do the bowling" does it matter? You gave her the chance to in the first place. And it's not just staf...

    Very disappointed

    This school genuinely disgusts me, it is deeply unfair and I am very disappointed in what I have seen of it. There isn't much to help the students here and they claim to be a specialist school but in reality do they even know how to cater to children with more severe needs? Because from what I've seen they just let the children with more severe needs do whatever they want and don't put in an effort to try and educate them to better their life in the future. I think it is unsafe for children here as I have seen multiple students being violent towards others and getting little to no punishment, incidents like this happen over and over again because they do not try to teach the children that this behavior is wrong and unacceptable or try to teach the children there are better ways to regulate their emotions and deal with the current situation that is putting them in distress. Some children who have the same needs as each other could do the same thing as each other such as hitting another child or running off site but one will get rewarded and the other will get punished all based on how their behavior in school is. If one child was badly behaved, constantly refused work and was violent or verbally abusive towards peers, their punishment would be something like not getting to go to the park. But if a child with the same needs except well behaved, does work to the best of their ability and was polite, their punishment could be getting sent home and isolation or exclusion the next day. They do have a few hygiene issues as I have noticed whenever you are in the corridors and some rooms there is a certain odour and they do let children walk around the school without shoes or socks on. Although on a more positive note I will say I am impressed with some of the staffs abilities to form strong bonds with the children here and I think it's very sweet how much some staff do to help the children here. Overall very unfair and not very inclusive at all, don't send children here.

    love it

    I just love it here, I love how they starve children and I love how the y let peers hit and spit at staff members and get away with it, I love how people wear no shoes and stink the corridors out, I love how students don’t no how to keep healthy hygiene, I Love how the school always smells like fish, wet dog or cheesy feet, I love how adults make comments on peers appearances and I also love how they treat others differently, I love how they let students scream in the corridors while everyone’s doing there lesson it really calms us down, I also love it when the furry’s jump on the table and bark only jk kys (keep your self safe). Myself and others love it when we are locked in buildings it really makes us feel so so safe, I love it when I have to hand my phone in because if there’s something seriously wrong with me I don’t need to call my parent right?? no I love how if I was about to drop dead I’d have to run down the stairs and wait for them to call my parent, I love how staff let other students get away without a punishment for doing the same thing as it was a struggle within there “needs”, I absolutely love it when staff tell students “we all have different needs” well if we was really different then why is this student the only one who’s “different”, I love it when staff involves there self’s in conversations that there irrelevant to as same with students, I absolutely love when my peers have no manners and show there chewed up food in the mouth, I love how they let peers speak to others as I have heard them call them names like “fat cunt” and “obese cow” how heart warming and thoughtful really made there day and mine, last of all I absolutely love there dirty, crusty and always broken vehicles it makes me feel so safe driving on the road??

    It’s ok?.

    A lot of students are rude/unkind towards others. But most people are pretty alright ? I have bad mental health, and this school doesn’t help. Personally, i think this school should be burned to a crisp- but, i would rather come here than Kill myself. Don’t send your kids here

    Gem gem for headteacher 2024

    It's not that good tbf but it's got some good scran n very skibidi teachers we love them but maybe the school needs to get better at pest control as I see a lot of animals in the school but the lessons r pretty fun like discovery I think usually every time u go out in the corridor there's always someone throwing a fit n some kids get away w hitting ppl n even get taken to parks afterwards or taken bowling after stealing bikes n throwing them at staff so they def need to get better at being fair but some staff beginning with g try so hard for the best for us students and should get a raise n become headteacher n deputy head should be staff beginning w S and K

    Don’t send children here.

    Headteacher is doing a terrible job. Children aren’t given the opportunity to meet the highest standards. GCSES are the lowest priority, children aren’t managed correctly. This isn’t the best place, under new management this could flourish, however the current standards are failing.

    Very disappointed in the school

    The students in this school have complex needs and need a lot of support, unfortunately serendipity doesn't offer a lot of support, the school staff claim they help the students with as much as they can but my daughter has severe mental health and the school haven’t provided they could help my daughter with her needs they seem to make it worse, the school is supposed to help children with there communication skills but the school can’t communicate them selfs, the school are supposed to help with...

    Not the best

    I would say they don’t give children enough opportunities to thrive in learning and underestimate them they don’t offer much emotional support and aren’t very great at dealing with Autism, ADHD and mental ill health don’t send your child to this school if they require a lot of support as they won’t receive it
