West Derby School

In West derby school , the learning environment and outside environment is great . In particular The English and inclusions manger Mrs Hughes is a fantastic teacher teaching her student a wide variety of lesson and still staying in the curriculum. Another is the Spanish Teacher Miss Inman , I have been thought by Miss Inman and her pronunciation and wide span of Spanish is immensely helpful to her students . This school is also an over subscribed school and the school overall is very warming and welcoming .

Appalling if you have a son with additional needs. Stay clear! Take them to a school with professional teachers who care about the child as an individual. Unprofessional comments such as “I can’t wait for this meeting - there is no way he is getting an EHCP and I’m not referring to Education Psychologist.” After a long fight with support from 3rd parties, his needs were recognised and now has EHCP! Shame it took so long. Unnecessary battle at the expense of a child.

Times are bad for this school indeed

Ye good school good teachers nice good environment good football team to

I've recently graduated from this school and I would not recommend it. I endured years of abuse at this school. I was a student at West Derby School for 7 years and in that time I was constantly abused by staff. I was regularly bullied by other students but every incident I reported was never followed up on even when I was physically assaulted. I was also a regular target of abuse by staff, who were exceptionally aggressive, shouting in my face, and using personal insults, and physically assaulting me on occasion. The conduct of the staff was extremely unprofessional. At times, when other students were absent from class, teachers would mock them and encourage students to mock them. I've never known a more toxic environment. Serious change is needed.

My child had suffered years of abuse during his time in this school, constantly targeted by teachers one in particular miss Wilkinson, my son came home crying 4/5 days a week from how horrible she treated him. She targeted his class to, pointing a mathematics protractor in one child’s face for not having the correct uniform on, although they should have worn the correct uniform it will never be acceptable and has never been acceptable for a TEACHER to POINT a sharp protractor in a child’s face.

Horrible school, do not put your son in here as the mother to 3 sons who went here it has gone right downhill the headteacher runs that school like she is a prison governor and your sons are her prisoners she's a very nasty teacher and has no compassion if your son has a injury or had surgery and need time to recover she doesn't care. Bullying is 100% never taken care of even allowing teachers to bully children to the point of nearly having one of my sons tell me they don't want to live anymore because of Mr Thomas and Mrs Graham bullying him. One of my sons was bullied all the way through and they protect the bully's. They also constanly beg you for money for not just your son but for others kids too. Please just let your son go to any other school but this one
