    safety for students

    i had FIVE boys in my year (2021-2026) be reported for sexual harassment and assault and nothing happened to any of them, absolutely no repercussions. the most that happened was a talking to and miraculously one actually got a weeks suspension after literally threatening a girl by saying he would [r] her. when my friend confronted a boy about sexually assaulting her outside of school over messages due to being too scared to do it in real life, he reported *her* to head of year and *she* got in...

    Do not send you child to this school.

    The Thomas Lord Audley School is not a place you want to send your child. This school is a nightmare. I am a student at TLA, and I honestly don't wish this school upon anyone. My reasons why are that the school dose absolutley nothing about bullying. I had an incident in school where I was pushed into lockers and pushed down stairs. You could see this all on the school's security cameras, and they told me they "cannot do anything as just a minor incident and could have been an accident", but I h...

    Slay the school away

    Such a slay school honestly? I feel it should be narrowed down to only 1 day a week tho? I think you should take that into consideration perhaps. Love the toilets? such a slay place to be tbf?

    weirdest three years of my life smh personally wouldn't recommend but if you're forced to go there then.... well. keep your head down and follow the crowd bestie also, if you're bullied - nothing is done. it's better to handle it yourself rather than bother reporting it. got told by x they're gonna bash my head against the fence and nobody really got concerned.

    Sending your child here? Prepare for the worst

    Unfortunately having a school in the centre of Monkwick isn’t going to end well. Crass and loutish behaviour in every year, rough and violent environment for students. Sending your children here is signing them up to crime and gangs. As for the education itself, it’s average. Some teachers are good and helpful, others aren’t. From what I’ve seen the student is always powerless against the teachers and staff regardless of who’s in the right. Some very good school trips but most are massively overpriced. I would not recommend this school and it needs serious improvement, but I’m not sure if that will happen due to the location.

    My review :)

    So far my experience has been good, I haven’t sadly had the full experience due to covid, but from everything I have experienced so far it’s amazing :)

    Teachers need consequences

    Good education but consequences for teachers need to be bigger, a certain teacher had multiple warnings from experiences of belittling children and talking with them about things that aren’t appropriate for a teacher to be discussing with students. This same teacher also did a students coursework for them while the students did each others hair

    Terrible

    Terrible staff, never helped me with homework or work inside of school, the disciplinary action doesn’t work and the school never helped me be comfortable in my own skin. The process for helping Transgender and Non-Binary students takes up to 6 months for a name change on the system and there is no consequences for racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist students.
