The St Marylebone CofE School

BEWARE OF THIS SCHOOL - St Marlybone C of E will have your child choosing wealth and selling out their rich ethnic heritage to fit in with the white privilege that
surrounds and links to school and the ego driven teachers who email their pupils at all hours of night inappropriately may I add. This all when cause for complaint will be dismissed by Head and the lack of representation in the school will lead to no doubt what happened to my son in Yr 12 Sixth Form to completely disassociating with his past his family his background to fit in, telling tall tales the privilege of this school will not only run with it. They will do things that you are completely unaware of; peddle a narrative to peers of school and I would say they groom children. The use of term ‘development’ is sketchy with Marylebone when they cross boundaries and scar families. All so they can use said child as part of their alumni dressed up as ‘enrichment programmes’ and now have him practising as a governor. It is all so concerning and many parents complain but it is futile against this institution; do not be dazzled by this school, proceed with caution.
It is a dangerously toxic school environment where opportunity is the goal at whatever cost.
To name a few to be cautious of include Felicity Read who leads an inappropriate sixth form team. It is not this. I encourage all to read the statements she presents with caution.
As someone privately educated I would love to do a talk to young girls regrading the pitfalls of these institutions sought out for black children; these environments are stifling and dangerous and lack representation;; the colonial traits and bias that the school possess and conscious or unconsciously drive are not in line with good practices, it in fact causes irreparable damage. Be prepared to lose your child if you send them to this school, they will lose their identity and be left between what they deem choice of a future over their culture.
It is certainly not this, which is part of the schools mission statement:
‘St Marylebone School is a thriving example of how great education can be. Our culture of achievement is fuelled by a love of learning, grounded in Christian values and driven by a dynamic creativity and a joyful sense of community.’
Use of the world ‘culture’ should be replaced with ‘vulture’. The righteous Christian values are not the values that Our Lord expresses. HE does not condemn. This school is not what it appears to be and they will treat parents as an afterthought, having damaged the relationships within families and their child.

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad 💩

My daughter has had complete mental breakdown due to bullying at this school since she started year 7. The school was unwilling to address concerns instead they did everything they could do to push her out of the school. Not much practice on diversity and inclusion, SEND.

SMT are too proud to accept negative feedback or make any improvement. They dont listen to parents even professionals feedback.

I moved my daughter to another school as advised by two of the professionals involved with my daughter health. Now she is much better.

Quite a good school and a lot of the teachers can be nice if you’re on their good side. Have some unreasonable detention policies and are quite big on homework. Once you get to gcses it’s a lot of stress and they’re quite serious about it but they do help set you up for life.

the school , did absolutely nothing to support me and my autism , following my sexual assault my rape alarm was taken off me as it was distracting the other classmates and i was told i didn’t need it, the school poorly handled my friends ADHD and labelled her as misbehaved and giving her detentions and isolating her instead of helping her , the school did absolutely nothing when i was being bullied they simply told me that i was overreacting, i was told i couldn’t do drama for gcse because i was autistic and i would not get bad grades which will make the school look bad , they had a program called the brilliant club where select students who’s grades were higher than 7 would get to go on trips to thorpe park but the club was a secret and members of the club were not allowed to tell anyone about the club which is disgusting
