don't send your kids here.
tbcc is not a school you should send your child. i've been bullied since year 7 for being "weird" and "different". in year 8 i had boys constantly come up to me and tell me to slit my wrist and kill myself and the teacher who witnessed it didn't let me call my dad after i asked. because these boys were in my tutor and harassed me everyday i went to a teacher and asked to move tutors because i was feeling depressed, suicidal, and i told them i was going to commit. they told me i was being dramati...

The school is not as bad as it seems!
At first when i looked through the reviews, I always had a mindset that I would get bullied. But when I did started attend the school. I realized its nothing like the reviews said and most of the students was also pretty nice to me. As far as i know, I haven't seen a single student got bullied there though I cant see the backstory, I'm not 100% sure that no one is NOT bullied because I have only attend the school for one year. the food is also amazing and the queue was also quite fast. Unfortuna...

Bad rules and support for students
honestly very bad school, some teachers are rude and honestly dont care, SLT aswell, love to start problems with kids and give no or get rid of student’s support if they think they “dont deserve” it or that they “behave bad”. Teachers there never let students speak like do they not have a right?? All they do is call their parents and never concerned what will go on at home thinking they done the “right” things but no, honestly rules in that school is stupid and does not do anything to help with...

Don't send your child there
terrible send, would rather suspend a child who is in need of sen help instead of helping. No spaces anywhere else to move child. Can't wait for my child to leave after gcse stage that they have no chance of passing

It is not bad
This school isn't as bad as people say it is. It's really big and a lot of the teachers are quite nice. I lost my 4 times and it never got stolen. Most of the kids there are pretty chill. You should go here instead of Gatwick school. My parents made me leave and go to gatwick and I hate so much at Gatwick. I wish I was in here.

Used COVID as an excuse
I was graded a 3 on music despite the fact I've learnt 2 full songs on the piano within a few months. My friend however got a 4 because his computer music was better than mine, I feel like if the music teachers didn't take the last 4 weeks off of school I would have actually gotten help. I remember in my first year a girl was crying because she was bullied, we told a teacher and they said get used to it. There was also a cleaner who was putting cameras in the disabled girls toilets, how does it take you months to realise that?!

Why I want to move schools
The school is vile, I've experienced people bullying me both online and in person to the point where I didn't want to come to school anymore and the teachers all said they would deal with it but they only spoke to the students once then they carried on bullying me. I mean to be honest they care more about what your wearing and what you look like than your mental health.

I got given a raw jacket potato ✌
I had many transphobic comments nothing was done thought it wasn't too bad until one of the teachers made a comment nothing was done. they do not care about your mental health, uniform is very strict to the point I had a phone call home for wearing black nail polish and a earing. you have to line to used the toilet causing it to take about 10 minutes and the break you get is not even 15 minutes long. lunch is about 35 minutes and the queue to get food take about 20mins, once you get your food it's gunna be cold never really had hot food from there before I was one served a raw potato

Absolutely vile
This school is atrocious I was having a panic attack outside of my class and a teacher told me if my mental health was that bad I should just kill myself after reporting it to the head teacher I was told that it was fine because English wasn’t her first language and she didn’t know what she ment after working there for 15 years

gross
horrible, the teachers there are just rude and it’s stupid that we can’t even wear nail polish or jewellery, they care more about our uniform looking good then they do bullying
