    my experience

    In year 7 it was alright but then got progressively worse as the years went on. I was always surrounded by teachers telling me to go back to my lessons when I’ve had a panic attack. Students always bullied me and they did barely anything about it.This school ruined me and my education it’s alright for kids who don’t have any problems but this school is bad at supporting

    Whitecross Hereford High School review

    Wouldnt recommend this school, a good majority of the teachers are too busy caring about the schools image to actually deal with the problems that the students have to deal with on a daily basis (bullying, peer pressure, etc just to name a few). The headteacher is nowhere to be seen when needed, personal hygiene after PE is disgusting, (they make students sit in their PE kit all day after doing an hour or two of it, sweating), teachers abuse their power in terms of the "C System", handing them o...

    One rule for one and a different one for another.

    I found that when my youngest girl was at Whitecross, she was constantly told to pull her skirt down and even man handled by one of the female staff members whe trying to pull it down. I see how short the skirts are now and it makes me angry that they singled out my daughter and then let others get away with having a short skirt. The skirts they wear now are very short, shorter than what my daughter used to wear. The Headmaster I feel sees what he wants to see. Education is fine if your child finds it easy to learn, but if they struggle, I find the school isn't too bothered about them. Lack of understanding also on eating dissorders and children with anxiety. I could go on about my experiences with some of the staff but can't see the point, as nothing will change.

    Mrs Z Brittlebank

    This school was absolutely radical. I loved Drama, I loved Art, and I loved Music with Mrs Z Brittlebank. Her music lessons taught me so much about music and I came here to thank her. Like, legit, thank you so much, not sarcastic. Genuinely fantastic school, although they should get better at handling the bullying.

    Absolutely brilliant, i'd rate it a 6/5 if i could

    In my experience, this school was absolutely brilliant, The headteacher, Mr Knapp (Tim-Tim as some called him) is absolutely brilliant, and is also spectacular at teaching drama. Our form tutor unfortunately had to leave halfway through the year, but after she left we had Miss Dunton - whose name I could never spell right - she is amazing and inclusive and I think I would literally die for her, and her science lessons. Mrs Brittlebank also led to me falling in love with music, which I can't thank her enough for, and Miss Gromadzki was an excellent PSHE/Art teacher Miss Bateson, along with Mr Kerr, have to got to be two of the best teachers at this school, and that says a lot, considering all of the teachers are great! Mark Finch emanated some quite peculiar energy, but he's somewhat nice and relaxed when you get to know him - I also love his art I also recommend giving Mr Bridgewater a small badge stating, "stand-up comedian!" all jokes aside, his jokes made mathematics fun to learn, and actually made learning around him easier, he knows the right time to focus, and the right time to have a laugh with his students. (We once finished our lesson earlier than expected, but we couldn't cover the next lesson as that involved a task that would take longer than the 10 minutes remaining of class, so we ended up just ranting about and discussing the Darwin awards) Thank you to Ms Peppiatt for helping me to accept and understand religions, along with her funny misunderstandings. (Pigs with aids!) Thank you to Miss Price for being the first teacher to make me feel truly welcome. Thank you to Mrs Richardson for making Spanish memorable and fun. Thank you to Mrs Horne for inviting me to be friends with Fardin, the new student, and for teaching me the most romantic language in the world (French) This school was amazing to attend, i'd rate it a 6/5 if i could

    I dislike the school heavily.

    My time at this school has been terrible. at the beginning of year 7 it was okay, aside from the bullying that i had reported numerous times and had had nothing done whatsoever about it. Year 8, the bullying got worse and i had reported it twice. Year 9, the kids in my year were threatening me and my friends, saying they were gonna beat us up or throw us into the alley and kick me on the way home from school. The school knew about this. Nothing happened and they said that I did something to deserve the grief so I'm just going to get grief. Although i have nothing bad whatsoever to say about the teachers as they were all lovely and kind, as well as perfect teachers that helped me to learn so much. Oh and i mnow its difficult to not get hair to fall out your hairnets, but i really don't understand how they get hair in the food so often. my friend found 2 in one meal and another in a different meal.

    Absolutely ruined me.

    So I am a current student doing my Gcse's. I would recommend this school to anyone, Unless you have mental health issues. This school is not helpful in supporting students with these issues. I suffer with severe anxiety and the school has only helped it go down hill. The school were quite helpful at the start when my problems weren't as bad but as soon as they got worse they practically gave up. I understand the school can only do so much but there is things possible for the to help. This school...

    Why this school is amazing

    Half the teachers who go to work there have a deeply hidden superiority complex which they refuse to admit they have and the other half of the teachers are decent as long as you follow their instructions as if you were going there from your own free will.If you wear a hoodie, despite the temperature of the buildings being freezing, you will be greeted to a day's worth of isolation since the hoodie violates the schools rules and regulations.

    Overall good

    Clean, new, always people to help when you need it. Sometimes naughty behavior isn’t managed in the best way possible.
