WSFG IS VERY BAD
THIS SCHOOL IS SO BAD DO NOT RECOMMEND VERY STRICT. THEY PUT JUNK FOOD IN THE VENDING MACHINES AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OBESITY. πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Why shouldnβt you go to this school (List)
Reasons not to go to Walthamstow School for Girls:
1: The canteen food was so bad they had to shut it down once and everyone had to just have sandwiches for a while (I also found a fly in my food)
2: THEY LOCK THE TOILETS. Even if you have to go to the bathroom you have to search ages for one thatβs open
3: Most teachers down even let you go to the toilet. Even though they say βif you need the bathroom, the teachers will sign your plannerβ most of the time they wonβt let you go unless you explicitly say βI AM ON MY PERIOD.β You canβt say βitβs an emergencyβ or they wonβt believe you and for some itβs a bit embarrassing to shout that in the middle of a math class.
4: The school doesnβt care about your mental health unless it intervenes with your test scores.
5: On a wall in the school, it has a list of names of people who did well in that school and went off to universities and other further education. This school has been around for nearly a hundred years and there have been over 10000 students who have graduated from the school and guess who are the only ones who make it on wall? 30-40.
6: Linking to the one above, the school only cares about your grades, especially in the future. One actor went to the school and now this school WONT SHUT UP ABOUT IT. They have her face plastered around the school walls and honestly itβs a bit too much. Itβs like a brag and a trick to get students to join the school because βthis famous actor came here and got famous, not that we helped her in anyway, she just chose drama for GCSEβs and we really didnβt care about her until she became famous, now she was our βprize studentβ and an inspiration!β
7. The student services team are really bad. If you feel sick and/or have been sick, they always say βhereβs a bottle of water, check back with me after lunch.β After lunch, βHereβs another bottle, come back if you feel worse.β After that lesson. βItβs nearly the end of the day so thereβs not point in sending you home.
Itβs either that or βWell, thereβs nothing much we can do, so just hang in there.β
Conclusion:
I will say there are good things about the school. For example, they are very firm with their punishments and will not let you explain yourself for that will be talking back to a teacher, which gets you a longer punishment. Ok, Iβll be serious. The school does a good job at teaching most of the time. If you have a complaint, as long as they deem it as reasonable, they will listen. Also, those sandwiches were nice so it was sad they shut it down.

DO NOT GO TO WSFG
Most of the teachers are either overworked and donβt care or have anger issues, they claim to care about your mental health and then give you so much homework and three tests in one day, teachers that should be on an offenders list, they kept students outside during the freezing winter months, the school food has a 1 star rating, detentions for the littlest things, they donβt support students with their problems, they have cameras in the toilets and they lock the bathrooms during lessons and the school cares more about your grades than you. If you are thinking of coming here, DONβT!!! ANY OTHER SCHOOL WILL BE BETTER!!
wouldnβt recommend to friends
WSFG ππ is not one that I would recommend to anyone in the local area, for a number of reasons. Number 1: this new headmistress doesnβt have a care in the world towards my classmates who arenβt white. Number 2: our canteen food (supplied by Olive Dining) is absolutely sickening. I have found hairs in my food a countless number of times, due to the staff not wearing any form of hair net (despite the fact that students representing their forms brought it up many times in meeting with important and powerful members of staff). I would go on, but (being honest) I wouldnβt read a review much longer than this, so I doubt that you would. One small thing, though, is that my science teacher is rubbish and I have to teach myself the subject in which I do the worst at.
Reasons not to go to wsfg
Horrid school, pervy male teachers, new head be full of empty promises, who enjoys silencing our views, learnt nothing with a lot of teachers and had to self teach myself a lot of stuff. Food in the canteen is horrible I wouldn't even feed it to a dying dog cuz it would kill it. No wonder the hygiene is at a one star, I've had hair in my food a ridiculous amount of times and the spls are all hypocrites. They don't let you go to the toilet during class either.... IN A GIRLS SCHOOL. Sometimes I wonder if teachers have lost their period for so long that they forgot we can't hold it in uwu.
Also the only reason that wsfg has an ofstead outstanding is because the previous head teacher bribed us with ice cream.
