TERRIBLE SCHOOL
RACISM
The school is really really bad and when I attended there there was a lot of racism and the teachers didn't even care. I once had a teacher named Ms espeut and she was the worst I really really don't like her even if she was black. She still treated me badly.
this school is atrocious
this school is atrocious. i don't even know where to start, this school failed me so bad instead of helping me and putting stuff in place and provide me with the support i need, and when they had enough of me they just kicked me out without putting me in cir or ipsp, they don’t do nothing for bullying or mental health and if you go to someone during lesson to talk to them they basically tell you to fuck off and slam the door in your face, i asked so many times for help and they didn’t give fuck. DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. if you kids have any type of learning disability don’t send them here they will not cater for their needs, they have terrible teaching methods, in the whole 3 years i was their i learned nothing because they care more about jewellery, shoes, uniforms, nails/nail polish more than the actual students and their education.
Westlands Secondary
It is a nice place to go and you all feel safe and don’t feel harassed by others.
I HATE THIS SCHOOL

review
do nothing about bullying
Wouldn’t recommend
Outdoor equipment is terrible - children are forced to stand outside in the poring rain unless they want to stand in a cramped canteen for those year group that actually have access to a whole canteen. They only truest care about those who could be considered popular or those expected 8 or 9’s. Mental health means little to them - they constantly talk about how important a good mental health is yet there advice on stress is don’t be stressed. Very few teachers are actually good at their job with one teacher I previously had (and still works there) who packed the capabilities to either control the class or teach the class causing many to miss out on vital teaching time.
Terrible school
Terrible school. The way they deal with serious issues, such as bullying and mental health, is appalling. Most teachers are far from supporting and incredibly unhelpful, very few make an impact on lives. Recent school leavers are left without help or support from teachers. As a former student I would NOT recommend this school at all.
DO NOT ATTEND!
I wouldn’t reccomend this school to anyone. The handling of behavior in this school is absolutely atrocious. Staff do not care for the children’s well-being and pupils voices are not heard. Senior Staff make sure to tell you that you are inferior compared to them.

FIRSTLY, absolutely NOTHING gets done with bullying!! You could go to the office and have a few meetings but NOTHING gets done whatsoever, they write it off as "we will see what we can do" or "we will look into it" and 90% of the time NEVER get back to you!!!
Next, the canteen food is so SO overpriced and most of it isn't even good, cookies are often rock hard or really undercooked, and the food that is decent (the paninis) are severally overpriced at over 3 pound!!! RIDICULOUS!! Another thing is the canteen linesss, the teachers will stand there and SEE people push in yet won't do nothing about it, by the time you get your food whether it be break or lunch you have no time to eat it.
HOMEWORK. Homework set every. single. day, I know it's secondary school but we are still children at the end of the day, work every single day gives us so so much pressure and there is consequences if you don't get it done regardless if you have a valid reason. This negatively impacts our mental health but they DO NOT CARE.
I went to the group of trusted adults in year 8 and they told me having anxiety attacks before school wasn't a valid enough reason to be late even when I dreaded going to school due to bulling, pressure etc....
Attendance is INSANE!!! BUT BAD INSANE!! They want us to have only 5 DAYS OFF A YEAR, and if we have more than that then it's an attendance concern!!! What the helli!!
When I had chicken pox and was off for a week so you know, I didn't CONTAMINATE the school I got told it was an "unauthorised absence". Oh I'm sorry, next time I'll just come in and infect everyone.
HATE HATE HATE THIS SCHOOL
I swear so many of the teachers lack actual teaching skills, they will shout at us if we don't get something first try learning it? huhhhhh
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!!!
I am NOT a proud westlands student and I can't wait to leave next year if there was a 0 star option I'd give it that
