    disaster.

    Turton school is a disaster. They don’t give children any rights and keep them in a little box of silly rules for starters children aren’t allowed to drink even though it’s a basic human right , teachers are awful (not all) one teacher blocked my child from leaving the school parking lot at 3:07 pm as they was on their phone OUTSIDE of school.

    Turton High School: A Disappointment in Education and Compassion

    Turton High School: A Disappointment in Education and Compassion Turton High School presents itself as a place of learning and opportunity, but in reality, it is a frustrating maze of bureaucracy, outdated policies, and a shocking lack of care for its students—particularly those who need support the most. First and foremost, the school’s lack of compassion is glaring. Instead of fostering an environment where students feel valued and understood, Turton seems to operate on a culture of indiffer...

    Poor

    Turton School has a policy of detention, exclusion, expulsion. Absolutely no clue how to deal with troubled or traumatised youngsters, they just unload them. Shameful, unacceptable, I hope they’ll be found accountable in the future. Check the postcodes for the kids who get away with behavioural issues & the ones who are expelled. Shame on you Turton School.

    horrible school.

    As a person with anxiety the school does nothing to help the amount of times I’d be crying my eyes out to them they’d send me back to my lesson but if I do my hair a certain way I’d get called out for it by teachers there mostly bothered about hair and makeup then how people are feeling and one thing to never tell the teachers about is your mental health they sent my parents an email telling me I needed to get sent to a mental asylum the teachers and kids there are horrible the amount of meetings ans phone calls my mum has had with the school is mad they don’t do nothing about bullying they’ll tell you “we will make the consequences worse the more they do it” it’s been 2 years and nothings been done absolute horror of a school better off going st Catherine’s turton is hell.

    Awful place

    Honestly these people haven’t got the first clue on how to deal with secondary pupils. Detention, exclusion, expulsion is their only answer. I would never send a child there, especially not one with any any past trauma. Pathetic excuse for teachers especially the head teacher who incidentally has no parenting experience, and it shows

    Awful place

    Creates mental health issues .. teachers are bullies .. no communication ... no discussion .. try to manipulate you .. if a child is from a certain area then that child is labelled ..by staff and students ..

    The reality of Turton school

    In the nicest way possible no one gives a shit about mental health not the teachers and only the students mates, teachers arnt the kindest and have a very few nice-ish teachers

    Teachers are delusional

    Tend to preach about mental health importance and do nothing to help when students reach out or are blind to any signs of struggle. Clear class divide as said by others.

    Overall Bad School

    It is very easy to spot class divide in Turton. Kids with money can get away with murder. Everyone else can get in big trouble for the smallest thing.
