West Exe School

Don't go
It's bad teachers good tho

The way they have changed the layout of the day is fucking disgusting. Aswell as having a 6th period. DO NOT go here if you want to go to a good school.

The school is so terrible I do not recommend it at all the toilet rules are so stupid and unnecessary and the bulling is so bad there and the school teachers do not do anything about it and they also care about the uniform more then students mental heath and the food is absolutely disgusting my children say and the learning there is so bad they would leave a child sat there for most of the lesson to be stuck and they get a lecture as they don’t do the work .

Teachers give you warnings for the most ridiculous things like pickup up a pen or looking out the window

I genuinely have nothing good to say about this school. I went to West Exe for almost 2 years and my time was NOT enjoyable. I spent my first year at West Exe being bullied and whispered about and that isn't a good feeling. It was reported to the school an unbelievable amount of times and they did nothing! They do not educate the students well and do not give them the options of how they want to learn — e.g. I have been told by my friend that during her class a student asked the teacher if autism was a disease (which it isn’t!) the teacher approved of the student saying it leaving the class uneducated. Diversity at West Exe isn't treated correctly either lots of diverse students are bullied mercilessly and the teachers do nothing about it. They have an unrealistic standard for uniform too if you are missing a single piece of uniform you will most likely be given a warning, a demerit or sent to borrow something which some students might not be comfortable with! Individuality is unacceptable at West Exe in the eyes of students — they don’t allow light makeup, jewellery or anything that might “distract boys/girls” is a lame excuse and they should either let people be themselves or get better reasoning. I’m not saying, students aren't going to comment on those things but not everyone is like that. Thankfully I am now homeschooled but to all the parents wondering if they should send their child to West Exe I advise you not to even look around.

Teachers are not letting my kids get an education cause the rules of a piercing I think they should change and I should not Cary on I don’t think a piercing are not a distraction and I think it stupid that the school can control what students are allowed to but on their own body’s

A school that has potential but ultimately looses. Has 0 respect for the student even though they constantly "pride" themselves for it. there is no flexibility with uniform. If you have the wrong colour socks you get sent home. The entire technology ward was essentially gotten rid of (even though westexe "prides" itself as an advanced technological school). There are many rules which are simply noncense. The homework is unfathomably poor. Sparx is a nightmare and drains my mental health and if you miss 1 question you have to have 2 detentions. The teachers are generally nice (at least my teachers) although there are a few which are horrible to be with (although that is possibly only a few). The mental health level in school is shockingly poor. Also possibly the worst part of Westexe is the fact that it's 'consideration for mental health' is abysmal and non-existant. My friend was having an extremely tough time mentally and my friend confided in a teacher via email. Before the teacher even replied that teacher sent the students email straight to another teacher which the next morning dragged out of class and asked many questions about their mental health not to Benifit the student but so they could tell that students abusive mother immediately that they are transgender (but hadn't come out to their mother) and not that mother has rejected my friend as a person. Now my friend has suicidal tendencies and does not trust the school at all (and neither do I). Does that sound like good handling of a student's mental health to you because it certainly doesn't to me. Westexe is a hole of depression frankly and that is the best way to put it without containing explicit language not for the faint of heart. Westexe has destroyed my motivation for "higher" learning and simply only cares about the "knowledge" being shoved down students throats for self gain. Westexe is simply a dictatorship and gives no regard to it's student population at all unless it Benifits the school. Westexe also "prides" itself on being extremely anti-bullying although this is absolutely non-existant from what I see. I have been bullied and pushed to being suicidal because I felt the school would not help at all and I believe it was plainly obvious I was being bullied during class yet the teacher did not ask how I was doing one bit. My will to learn is at nothing. There is only 1 class I look forward to all the time and that is music because I am incredibly passionate about music and it simply is the only thing not stopping me from killing myself at this point. Another thing is how TERRIBLE the food is for lunch now. It was good until the beginning of this academic year then suddenly it turned SHOCKINGLY POOR. It's simply in-edible for me. I only like the pasta pots and Fridays fish and chips. Anything else is utterly disgusting and I can't eat it. Also it is incredibly expensive at times for example drinks are way too expensive. Pushing onto another subject about lunch and break, its was too short and you feel like there is no time to yourself, especially when you join westexe from a primary school as the breaks and lunch are just enough time to eat. Also detentions are often during lunch do the student does not have any food, even for a 10 minute detention there is still no food left in the hall as it has all been sold by then. In conclusion I don't like westexe and it doesn't like me... Nor my friends, or frankly anyone who is a student. There is no student voice and no trust towards the student at all. For Christ sakes they took the doors off of the bathroom! I really hate being at westexe as there is no self gain. Just Terrible mental health and no enjoyment or want to learn.
