    It is tragic

    This school is rubbish! Miss hatter is satan reincarnated and used to be a science teacher moved up a bit and got too big for her boots, she will moan at you for blinking. Miss frickey the woman you are she is the best teacher ever she understands people and their needs. My parents are god sent wonderful people for taking me out of that hell hole because my time there was hell on earth literally I spent all my lesson time in the zone and learnt more off Tik Tok then I ever did in that place.

    Bullshit school

    Such a bad school, got no help, got punished for shit. I was being pressured and then when a teacher was called, I got put into the zone for a week! I didn't say anything or do anything. Didn't even touch the kid! The school is full of bad people and they don't do anything about bullying. I got assaulted on the way back home and they only put them in the zone for like 2 days. I would've thought they'd get expelled! The teachers are also shit, Ive asked for help and haven't received. So much more...

    Awful School

    Awful school, as a former students parent i can say the staff are patronising and are just a bunch of liars. Would never let my daughter step foot back into this school again so glad she has left. The teachers here , specifically senior teachers, are extremely entitled and quite frankly act more like children than the children do. Hoping with the headteacher change something will in fact be done about the appalling behaviour of the staff instead of shifting blames on the kids. Had many disgustin...

    SHIT SCHOOL

    This is an absolutely awful school. If you aren’t smart enough, they will exclude you and call you a bad-behaved student they don’t care about mental health issues and they act as if you’re making it all up. I went to the school for four years and had to leave because how about the bullying got the school didn’t do anything about it, but just completely ignored what I was telling them and the bullying still continues even after I had to leave I was told I was trying to attract the wrong attention on my way to school from wearing knee-high socks by the deputy head, Miss Holden who put me in the inclusion zone multiple times because of this situation. It was very unfair, and even after my mum had contacted she had a go at my mum and was made to apologise the next day.

    Shit school

    Absolutely awful if you have any mental health issues don’t join you just get shamed by teachers for it who then slag you off to other teaches nothing is kept confidential and they talk down to you even if you nice. Told me I wasn’t allowed to go to a “ mainstream “ school because I’m autistic and refused to believe to just called me a bad naughty student STAY AWAY FROM THE HOLDEN she will call you a slag for wearing knee high socks and exclude you ?

    It was horrible

    They don’t handle bullying well at all. Hardly have any care for students mental health and well-being in and out of school and treat students and parents of the students atrociously and provide hardly any support.

    Honest review from a 2022 leaver

    Most teachers help for everything from at home to different subjects. Nice layout and easy to know your way about. Food could be better but can't complain. Prices for uniform are OK but a slight bit expensive in large sizes. While fairly relaxed the school is overly strict on the wrong things. But had a great time being there.

    I love going here. They have a range of activities that you can participate in and they take lots of measures to keep everyone safe.
