Teachers not being educated on disabilities
The school deals badly with special needs, there were some teachers who dealt with it better then others but in all honesty it felt like about 80% of the people there, teachers and students included, were out to get me, I was bullied constantly and nothing was done about it, having panic attacks and hiding in the bathroom, I remember the first day in an english class I froze and couldn't speak, and I was in a class meant to deal with higher needs better, yet the teacher couldn't understand me at...

Self expression in tca
I wouldn’t say it’s bad education wise, but system wise, it’s terrible. You express yourself by dying your hair a bright colour? Detention and call home. You have a small septum piercing? Detention and call home. You feel sick in class? They ignore you and student services tells you to go back to lesson. In my own opinion, the whole ‘business attire’ rule about no dyed hair, piercings, shirts tucked in, ties all the way up, is a way of controlling the students and not giving them any freedom. Al...

Horrible >:(
I don’t like that school,the student services dosent give a single shit about how sick you are,they just expect us to survive for the rest of the day,and the teachers annoy me.Like,why am I getting told off?These teachers only care about how mature you look.Expects us all to be wearing blazers,what does that even to do make us mature?They also banned skirts.And that also pisses me off.What are we even supposed to do when it’s hot outside?!Honestly,this is all my opinion,some teachers which I kno...

Do not send your children here
This school is a joke! Especially when it comes to certain teachers who are adults who actually act as if there are children themselves. The amount of times my perfect daughter who never gets a detention, never misbehaves, never does anything wrong, get accused of things she doesn’t even do. Example during an exam she sat. She was just mindfully doing her job exam. Until a rude “exam invalidator” came up to her and said that if she would talk again she would get her whole paper ripped up, of co...

Teachers,bullying
This school still allows bullying and most of the teachers are discriminating non-British students

Its not the best school but not the worst. My experience at the school wasn’t the best i was bullied and nothing happened back but most people like it there.

Why are you even in Wisbech.
Was bullied and sexually assaulted and harassed throughout my entire time at this school, also was unfairly graded because of the whole COVID thing. There were some good teachers but overall the trauma I've experienced is probably one of the main reasons I'm going to kill myself.

TCA - worst school I’ve seen
Terrible school. The school fails to handle its students in any way, bullying is a fact of life. Assault? Why not give the 17 year old students some days off school. Homophobic behaviour? Tell the victim to be less openly gay. If you love your children, do not send them to this school. Sending them to the coal mines of Victorian England would have the same emotional effect. I had to work much harder to achieve anything of note, as many of the teachers hated their jobs and their students. However, some teachers were truly outstanding (and it’s a shame the rest bring the school down). The building is also amazing, shame that the students don’t care for learning.

hate it.
I hate how the school handles mental health and the students are horrible. Teachers put stress onto students and give out too much homework!
