Valley Park School

Used to work there. Was a horrible, toxic culture of threat. Got out as soon as I could!

Sorry, but no. Teachers are more focused on uniform than education, supply teachers are seen more than the teachers, we practically learn nothing and when it comes to exams we also know almost nothing! Don’t get me wrong, this school used to be good, great in fact, but it’s gone down hill hugely! If you are reading this review I just want to let you know that this school is not all great like it may sound. It’s awful. What teachers need to do to improve:
-Stop focusing so much on uniform
-Actually handle bad students
-Handle school situation better
-GET.MORE.TEACHERS

I don’t even know what to say about this school anymore. I’ve tried to move, but was unsuccessful. So, I now have to go back to this school and I’m telling you, I am not looking forward to IT!

Thank you very much for your time.

This is school is so awful. There is a lot of bullying, racism, homophobia. This is like a jungle. The teacher don’t do anything there, and they aren’t passionate for their job, there are their to collect their payment .

I have friends who's children go there and his yr 8 was thrown up against a wall by a teacher and said he won't mount to nothing. They got a big fine by not telling the courts there system is slow and to tell them that they are in school at 8am daily. The teachers need re training on pupil skills. This school is the worst ive ever heard of with bullying teachers.

I hate this school, it used to have a farm but the headteacher shut it down because 'they needed more supply teachers' but in doing this someone the farm manager has lost her job, and now has to be a caretaker. Most of the teachers are so rude, and give you referals for no reason. They say how good valley is but they are masking the fact they don't care about bullying, as I was bullied for 3years and despite my head of year telling the headteacher she didn't do anything about it. The amount of gum under the table is atrocious,they don't clean the tables, the cafeteria; I don't even know where to start. First of all my friend got a roast dinner on a Wednesday but the meat was hardly cooked with some big lumps of uncooked slimy meat which was also covered in blood. When buying pasta from the canteen,they never drain it properly so there is loads of water at the bottom of the bowl, the following of is very overpriced and not hygienic. On Fridays fish and chips there is a salt and vinegar table. The vinegar is in a bottle, but the salt is in a bowl and not in a shaker and there is no spoons to use. People have to use their HANDS if they want salt which is utterly DISGUSTING. They never give out non school uniform days or school trips and we are always told it's because of behaviour. The reason behaviour is do bad is because so many people are 'rude' to the teachers. The other day I was in class with a quiet boy and his friend was late (dentist appointment) and he Explained to his friend what the work was and he got exited. When he calmly asked the teacher what he had done wrong the teacher yelled don't backchat me and gave him a referral. The teachers are so DISRESPECTFUL to US. also if your skirt is a tiny bit above your knee they send you to student hub and they take your skirt and replace it with a new one, but you have to pay for it, and you do not get your old skirt back,you HAVE to pay for the new one. Also while you are changing skirts, a teacher stands outside the toilet door. This is sometimes MALE which idt is right. They also have teachers in the pe changing rooms which is just pedophilic. Althought same sex is in the changing rooms they still stare at your ass. Don't join valley park school it's horrible
