    Terrible school

    Don’t take your kids to this school! This school completely ruined my mental health due to bullying and torment by teachers and kids. I am 18 now and I’ve had multiple family members who have attended this school and dreaded getting up in the morning because of the unprofessionalism of the teachers poor learning skills and the harassment from other children. The teachers let the kids throw knifes across the classroom in catering classes and almost every single period I had the students are allow...

    Not very good

    I hated being here, the people at my school didn't like anyone who was different to them. If you were different they would pick on you. Terrible experience

    No safeguarding or protection for students

    The worst school where bullying occurs and children are not safeguarding against violence which could be life threatening. Pupils smoke drugs on premises and the behaviour of some of the pupils is disgusting. Never ever send your child here as it’s the worst in the borough, Horrible and disgusting and shameful

    Fighting in roads?!?

    Dreadful school that does nothing about racist attacks and let's their students fight each other in the middle of roads either traffic. Ofsted allowing this school to remain open is an insult to everybody in this country.

    No fit for purpose

    This school doesn't even deserve a single star - it is a failed institution (it's management included). Not good for purpose. NO ONE should attempt to take their child here - especially if they are persons of colour.

    Institutionally racist educators.

    As a parent of a black child I would never allow a child of mine to an institutionally racist college such as this. Children are children regardless of race and the school has a duty to protect them all. For teachers to watch a girl being beaten and her braids dragged by more than 3 people as instructed by an adult was very sickening to watch. If there were 3 black girls beating a white girl to pulp people would’ve intervened people held up traffic to watch the little black girl get beaten up. A...

    Do better

    Do better. You allowed a student to get beaten up by a group of hippos and the teachers stood there watching. Disgusting.

    School seems to tolerate abuse and racial inequalities

    A young black female student was viciously attacked by a white female student, her sisters and mother right outside her school - Thomas Kynvett college. No attempt was made by anyone to stop this vicious attack. The principal at this college, casually strolls into the scene and does nothing to break up the fight. He allows the perpetrators of the crime to walk away after inflicting bodily harm on the young girl.

    Ineffective head

    This school is headed by an incompetent ineffective Racist. I think he should be fully investigated. Situations like the assault on one of his pupils and his weak response are a disgrace. Just as police officers have hidden under the once held respect for the police force only to drag their reputation to the ground. This head needs to be investigated and made an example of in order for the trust and respect that we have for persons at his level of authority to r emain.

    Hope we get justice for the poor girl

    After hearing what happened to that black girl is completely frightening and upsetting. What kind of students and teachers are these ? This is completely horrible. They should be ashamed of themselves stupid grown men and women acting like that in public and not doing anything to help the poor girl is just disgusting. Complete useless Cowards!

    Racially-motivated assault

    Justice must be served accordingly following the violent assault upon a black student - featured on a video shared on 6.2.2023. The incident was worsened by the lack of response - evident by the principal staff and community present that day. I hope awareness is raised , especially with regard to issues of racism and discrimination, for the victim and the target minority communities.

    Racist School

    Disgusting racist school , close this school , the head teacher needs to be reported and sent to prison. Traveller family permitted to come to the school with their feral children attacking a girl and no one helps not even the school , I hope this girl gets all the publicity needed to show this school for what it is.

    Justice must be served, if there is any

    Saw a video going viral where a Black Girl was beeing bullied and racially assaulted by a hoodlum and her daughters infront of the school and no one did anything. Even the Headtacher just casually walked in like he couldn't be bothered. In what world do you think its ok? I hope the assaulted Girl get you all sued and get well compensated for your actions and inactions. Once she get justice, hope some of these dirty people get locked up. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, bunch of hood rats. Ridiculous!

    Bullies/ Bully culture

    Judging by the video going around, there are nasty bullies attending that school. The headteacher is seemingly unsurprised and not at all bothered by this!! Disgusting culture condoned by those in the highest positions.

    Student unknown

    As a student I attended Thomas knyvett college for 5 years and had nothing but problems ,teachers are rude and talk down to you as if you were scum ,I would never recommend this school to any parent or student as your mental health will decrease rapidly and the school will not help with bullying or assaults and as a student I was sexually assaulted multiple times by various people within the school walls and nothing was put in place to prevent it
