    Horrible school.

    Horrible school; none of the teachers seem to EVER help with anything that happens, if you’re reading this and wanting to go to tynecastle, im warning you NOT to go, teachers don’t listen and when they do, they barely help the situation, there’s a new fight every week, every friendgroup ends up splitting up into drama and so many kids have moved due to this.

    Terrible School

    Head department are shocking, extremely unsupportive and defended racist actions multiple times while I attended. There is supposed support in place for students but it feels as though you are an inconvenience whenever something is brought up to the heads. There are a few lovely teachers here that clearly care about the pupils who attend but with such a bad environment it hardly makes up for it. I did not go to a single class for a whole year while enrolled and was not spoken to or called in for a meeting at all which I think demonstrates the lack of care and attention paid towards students and their futures.

    Worst school ever

    As a student teachers talk down to me. Racist to me , overall horrible . Head department are the worst. They preach on about mental health but don’t support their students. Don’t fall for their place 2 Be counselling act. It’s all for show off. They don’t care about their students at all. Only a few teachers are nice but some of them are absolutely horrible. Joke of a place and they don’t support struggling students. Academic subjects are very bad. Always staff missing. Teachers are bad at teaching.

    0/10.

    Guys please don’t goi beg you, They literally don’t even give nat5s in each core subject only English and it’s so annoying, they barely have any subjects and their teachers r old and sexist. I’m serious right now, before moving I was focusing on the nice reviews but now I give up, Not only that but they’ll also just put you in empty classes hence you’re new. I’ll give you details if you want but I’m just warning you so

    shanice

    Very Unhygienic and unclean, Many teachers abuse their powers, lots of bullying swept under the carpet, teachers are power hungry
