Waseley Hills High School

It’s alr some of the teachers can be rude the building looks like it’s going to fall down especially the art block

I have been going to this school for nearly five years, since belshaw has been in he has made the school mentally draining for every pupil in the school.In one the first assemblies we had with him he said “if none likes me rules there gone” , and there went all the good teachers, year 7 and younger years have been told they don’t have teachers because year 11 need them?!, well where are my actual teachers.Last year I got bullied for a long period of time and the school did nothing , other than play “let’s all be friends game” , did nothing about child exploitation and physical harm to me, they just brushed it off like it wasn’t there problem. 2 weeks ago I got put into “refocus” for not wanting to go all the way back to the other side of the school to get a piece of paper(toilet pass) with a medical problem with my joints and bones to the only open toilets (that belshaw was protecting with his whole life), I’m year 11 and the whole day I was doing colouring in there , but then belshaw also tells us now is a critical time for us? I also got suspended not long ago for being in the toilet having a wee on my lunch break, some girls had left a vape on the bathroom sinks and everyone who was in the toilets (about 8 of us) all got suspended, even though they found nothing on us when they did a search. Belshaw is meant to be teaching history but no he’s to busy to be teaching us so we have subs. I am not surprised all the good teachers left , the school is a shitshow and shouldn’t be put under the pressure. Belshaw walks around like everyone should treat him with respect and so do most of the new teachers but they give no rescpect to you , one called a student dumb to her face , that’s nice when she has exams in 3 months time? they expect respect but show us none , I was taught respect goes both ways and that’s why everyone is a “troubled” kid but they have no respect for us so obviously we are not going to have respect for them . don’t send you children here and I would just take them out now if they are still there at the moment.The toilets are always locked and the disabled toilet is open on the rare occasion but is so unhygienic, the school is like a prison

This is probably the worst schools I've ever come across. These teachers are in denial how the school is run . Racism is ok as long as you deny you said anything. Bullies get protection. You cant drink ,go to the toilet, if you're desperate to go you could get a detention for arguing you really need to. Never seen so many teachers leave after the new headmaster started . If the teacher like to punish so freely and not understand it's a school with kids in it then they should change jobs and be a prison warden as they dont understand this level of low life punishment does not inspire kids to even want to do well

Shocking behaviour policy

Mr Belshaw has totally ruined this school. With his extreme rule’s. God know’s how many have been expelled, constant suspensions, refocus time, for the most petty reason’s. Dropping paper, keeping coat on, when it’s cold as no heating, yet Teacher’s all layered up. Toilets locked and only some open, leaving the kids with less time, for break, unable to get lunch in cafe, as it’s busy, then with so few toilets open, no time to go. If kids ask to go when in lesson, they get refused, if the keep asking, they get sent to refocus… So kids now not wanting to eat or drink, for fear of consequences. Children being humiliated in from of class, as teacher’s now, will not listen to our children, and reprimand them. Lessons are robotic as on a timer, kids unable to ask anything, so not learning, if the miss something. Outside had been fenced so now looks like a prison camp. Children's mental health has been severely impacted and some have been suicidal as a result…… Knock on affect then to parents mental health, having to constantly call school to get answer’s. Detentions are given out like sweets, for petty thing's. When you get a notification it say's, your child…….. I have 2 kids in the school……. No medical room or staff now. Kids go to library, they don’t inform you, that your child is feeling unwell. Unless the child has phone to message you won’t know. Mr Belshaw has a naughty list, A NAUGHTY LIST how degrading for the students. There is no SEN now, so these students are suffering far more, with no help or support what so ever. It isn’t a school anymore, it’s more like a prison camp. He has no regard for anyone’s mental well-being. Nearly all original Teachers have gone, which is a red flag in its self. Our children are being suppressed as not allowed a voice or opinion. This is mental abuse. It’s demoralising, inhumane sadistic and extremely harmful

Absolutely awful how the teachers get to treat all the kids with additional needs is outrageous and they have no care what’s so ever and never listens to the children. If the teachers want respect from me well when they treat me with respect then they will get it from me instead of targeting me with needs, also quick enough to suspend but not quick enough to help when needed!!!!

My daughter has been going to this school for the last 3 years year 7 and 8 was good your nine has been awful the headteacher is a dictator doesn't listen to the students the parents or his own staff over 30 teachers since he's been in in from I believe April 2022 I have been sacked or resigned he treats it like a business he treats parents who go and complain with disrespect and blames the parents for all the problems in the school and because of the strict rules my daughter is now suicidal there is no support or help and is damaging my daughter's education as well as her mental health I would not recommend you putting your children into the school until he is removed

I have a whole load of problems. I'll start with the food situation. The chicken is always raw, and the prices are uncalled for. Free school meals are barely allowed anything, not even water. "The school provides free water , so bring a water bottle." They also hand you a "pudding" if you are free school meals, no matter if you don't want/like or are allergic to. The food is restricted as prices are through the roof. Next is Teachers, 38 and counting good Teachers have left because of this new headmaster. This man is a narcissistic dictator. Students aren't pupils to him, we are figurs on his good record. Parents and students aren't happy, I know of countless people who have so many problems with this new school and the new rules. Teachers are ignoring parent requests such as detention consent, health care plans and numerous phone calls of what children need/are allowed. Students are ignored and aren't treated with respect. Teachers give unreasonable punishments for "back chat" yet they lack basic respect themselves. The bullying is taken so lightly as if its an inconvenience and teaches can't be bothered with it. Students experience bullying and discrimination from there peers. Racism, homophobia and straight up rudeness everyday with no support from the staff. Student support center (ssc) has been closed with lack of support staff yet they do nothing to get this staff back. The autism base has been closed so the special needs students have lost all there support. Me as a student, I feel as if this school won't even try with the mental and physical health of students and even teachers. Me personally, my mental health has dropped since Mr Belshaw has been our new headmaster. The detention and refocus policy isn't helpful, if anything it is making our school worse. You are sent to refocus for dropping things, missing undeserved detentions, not completing homework and many other pointless things that isolation isn't an appropriate punishment. Teachers hand out negative points like there's no tomorrow and hand out positive points once a blue moon. They have no organisation. People get given detentions and refocus against the "policies " in place. The punishment rules aren't listened to and are just there for display. The teachers being hired with either no control or experience whatsoever or are highly strict and make lessons unbearable. It's been about a month and school feels empty with how many students being suspended and/or expelled with no good reason. This school is out of hand, I wouldn't recommend this hell hole to anyone.

the teachers literally watches you get bullied all they do is shrug there shoulders and walk off and also the cafe food is so disgusting it literally looks like puke and you get a negative point for just dropping a pencil you also cant even wear long socks and they seriously have an issue with communication they cause scene over wearing a coat and there is this toilet rule that toilets has to be locked until break and lunch year nines has little time to eat there lunch and still rush us to eat if they really wanted to be fair about this then let u eat outside

Dont bother this school is horrible you cant do anything good at this school the just hate it apparanly they are improving but they are not bullying is a big problem and dosent do anything about it please dont bother making the mistake i did

My cousin was sexually harassed in the first few months of year 7, and the school did nothing about it just because the 2 kids were autistic. There’s a bunch of shady people hanging around there and weed was in the bathrooms, my mate has sexually harassed aswell and all the little shit got was lego therapy, the school has noncey teachers and shitty students, I would rather be home schooled my my down syndrome mother.

This school is horrible I hate it here the teachers are rude and they smell like shit and they make us take our coats of even if it’s freezing tbh I think it’s a shithole miss Teasdale is a fucking weirdo stay away from her miss Harley looks like a dwarf and she’s rlly musty ew and also the head teacher is ginger take the gingers away DONT GO HERE DONT GO HERE DONT GO HERE DONT GO HERE

Honestly, bullying is a really big problem in this school. Teachers barely do anything about racist and homophobic comments that often get thrown around class. As a student myself, I can for sure say that they’re very strict with uniform and such, especially this year. They definitely act as if everyone can afford the uniform they ask you to get. My first years of this school were rough, and I only started receiving proper help toward the end of year 10. If your child is going through mental health issues or is just suffering in general with everything, I don’t believe this school is the right one of them. The kids can be really cruel here and the best thing the teachers do about it is send the students out and put them in detention unless it’s a “serious matter” or something. Despite all of this, I do find myself enjoying being at this school. It’s just very suffocating sometimes because of the students and the lack of discipline, along with the lack of representation of LGBTQI+ Topics in history and other lessons. Many other issues. The education however it great, minus the lack of representation. Teachers are easy to get along with and talk to which I find is always great. :) I have made tons of good memories at this school, and met lots of people who I now call my best friends which I’m so happy to have. However I’d rather tell the truth on how it is instead of sugar coating it.

Currently in this school and the way they handle bullying, fights and behaviour is shocking the way they sort out bullying is put the bully in isolation for the day and they think it will sort it out even if they keep doing it they wont take any further action. When it comes to fights they get the both of them to say sorry to eachother and call it a day? like that's gonna sort it. Couple good teachers but there are few who have called me "worthless", "you should go to a special school" and "fat" multiple times. Send your kids at your own risk heard its turning into an academy soon so hoping that'll change the school for the best Safe.

The school can be nice. However it’s horrible with mental health and bullying prevention. It’s allowed bullying and only brushed it under the rug and not tried to prevent it. It’s disgusting and if I could I would of never have gone here. There are a few teachers up for a laugh though. Other than that I despise this school.

I’m currently still in this school. And they don’t handle bullying, or fights or anything well. I was bullied by another female and it got to the point of being physical and the school just told her to stop. They prefer to brush stuff under the rug rather than sort it and it’s very irritating. Other than bullying the food is overpriced but otherwise the school is fine I guess

Some teachers are fun and up for a laugh, but you have them ones that think they are better than others. Very strict rules, uniform is very strict, I’m not sure if this is all secondary schools but you have to ask to take off your jumper!!!
