Tomlinscote School

It was horrendous, they failed me then and they failed me greatly now as an adult later in life. They could have helped change everything for the better and they didn't. I am still suffering the after effects of what happened there and how they today claim to not have any information on my attending there as well with not a care in the world to help me. Only a couple of teachers really cared and the rest just wanted to cover their asses by looking the other way when I was being abused. They can go fudge themselves.

There is little to nothing good about Tomlinscote and they don’t care about mental health. They say oh we love to go on trips but the only trip I’ve been on is to a stupid zoo! I had a teacher who said anger issues and depression don’t exist and to get over them

This school claims to help you when bullied, sad, struggling with mental health etc. but when you actually tell them about it they do nothing and try to tell you it’s not happening. They also set way to much homework for 11-16 year old. They say each price of homework must last 30 minutes but I have had days where teachers have set five pieces of homework. In the summer of 2022 two pupils (one of which was my friend) had wrote to the head master on serious issues that had to be fixed. When they eventually got a meeting with him (after 4 months of asking) he went of track of the problems and didn’t talk about what the girls originally wrote about and instead talking about non existent issues. This clearly shows that he is trying to exclude the issues right now (they wrote about skirt length and behaviour of staff). The teachers here are literally perverts.I’m the past 5 years around 4 teacher have been fired due to pedaphillia. And even then the girls had to beg them to fire as it was considered “to strong if an ExUsE to fire someone” there are serious issues here and trust me you will want to kys after the first two weeks. Just trust me as a student the curriculum sucks and so does the school, there are two many silly rules that it may aswell be a private school plus the cost of skirts and uniform.

Yeah the iPads are a good tool for learning but there to expensive to be controlled so much by the school it’s almost like it’s not yours it’s the schools but u have to pay and take care of it, so glad they got rid of the yellow sock rule they were getting a bit to serious about uniforms and silly little things about them and to be honest to many rules for a public school like having to ask to take of your jumper.

As a student with extremely bad mental health they did nothing apart from call my mum to tell her what she already knew and did nothing more. Only help the kids who have the best of the best knowledge and some teachers are a little creepy. Decent teaching as long as you focus. some teachers cannot understand what they are saying due to either language barriers or difficulty.

Went there for 5 years and can say that unless you're middle class and "academically gifted" the school won't do anything to help you. They don't know how to help with students mental health and I once had to explain to the school councillor what hyperventilating meant.

I don’t really like this school since they only let you have one pair of STUDS in your earLOBE which is quite upsetting, and you’re not allowed to dye your hair an “unnatural” colour, I might be “overreacting” but really they just care about the length of your skirt (keep in mind that it costs around £ 40) If there are so many rules then why don’t just make it into a private school?

It’s a good school and they do help you to become a better version of yourself. Your not allowed phones there but they do give you iPads which is a very effective tool. Overall it is a good school with good staff

ayo i hate it here like not even capping the school therapy is a load of ? like i canny even do nothin n they call in ma mam tellin her i gonna kms

Terrible response to bullying, mental health issues, equality and equal rights. Very classist, unless you are a white British upper class student with an iq of 140 then you are worthless to them. If you have mental health issues and require help the school will call child services. Terrible staff who care more about the length of your skirt than your education. Would give 0 stars if I could.
