Weald School, The

6th form. Petty. Suffocating. Zero inclusivity. No idea how to relate to young adults. Data driven - nothing else matters and certainly not the emotional and mental health of their students.

This School is A massive joke they don’t do anything about mental health and they don’t do enough to deal with racism and bullying as somone of colour and have had the most racist things said about me the school never does anything and I’m not being funny a phew days ago I got into a fight and the other girl started it and they have done nothing but give her a ix she should have gotten a suspension but no because the school is awful since Mrs Edward’s has taken over nothing about he Weald has been good honestly save your children the heart ache from this school don’t let the come here because you will be putting there mental health at risk f**** this school and the students are absolutely horrible they are awful people who think it’s ok to treat people in a way that is belittling Not just that the school has there ofsted the first one in 13 years and they got GOOD how the hell did they manage that but most perents and students believe the school challenge what they acctually got to get better and that before the ofsted Mrs Edward’s made all the students go to a assembly and basically bribed us all to be good when ofsted came in saying how she had been loyal to us my ass I’m not being funny agin she has made my life a living hell I never had problems with mental health until this school and one of the ofsted people came and talked to me as well and I told them the truth about the school and how awful it is so I don’t know how they got good I honestly don’t recomend this school there is so much more I could say but I’m leaving it here .

Gone right downhill since that Woodman left. Overall inadequate teaching, more concerned about skirt length than education. Either too strict or just let them all go wild. Even Steyning is better.

Terrible school. Conveyor belt for kids that may as well have numbers. The teachers see roughly 300 pupils a day. The poor teachers don't stand a chance. They don't know any of the kids names, let alone any disabilities or educational needs. AVOID!

Horrible school. Should have known better when the two boys showing us around said they had been bullied in their first two months and that even though the bullying was bad "don't worry, there's CCTV", but anyway my child was keen and likeable so we didn't think he'd be a target. Boy was I wrong and omg did he get bullied; and it went on and on because it got too much effort for the staff. So many parents have complained and help is variable. They do well with little things if the child is receptive to criticism. They cannot deal with genuine bullying. Other students have confided in me describing it as "far worse than you can imagine" and "hell." The majority of classes I'm told are disruptive. Even several local therapists said it had a "reputation" and they "see lots of kids from the Weald." Parents, do you think an Ofsted outstanding from10 years ago is worth it, because Ofsted policy exempts outstanding schools from inspection. But that policy has changed and time will tell. What they will do and are doing now is push and push for attendance and good grades at the expense of the kids mental health, in the hope that inspectors don't care about the state of the most vulnerable students. You won't mind until your child becomes a statistic. As for the work, it's baffling that homework is often a few ridiculously easy multiple choice questions, and I rarely saw anything marked. There was more thought put into homework in primary. The school reports are also made up of numbers. No personal touch at all and often quite clearly marked in error. As with all schools, there are good teachers and quite a few outstanding ones, so its not all bad. But even good teachers can't teach a miserable child. Give your child the best years of the life they deserve, and send them somewhere else...
