Wildern School

this school was the worst five years of my life. The amount of issues and problems i had at this school is absurd. Firstly, A teacher at the school used another students phone to message my PERSONAL phone number to swear and say horrible things that a teacher shouldn’t be saying to their student! Then, I was bullied for 2 years straight and had everything twisted around onto me and i was made out by the school to be the perpetrator instead of the school wanting to deal with my complaints and punish my bullies. The school itself is dirty and there are rats everywhere. There isnt many seats inside so alot of the time we were left to sit outside in the winter and the rain as they started locking the buildings during break and lunch! There was only a handful of teachers at Wildern who were extremely kind and really put their students education first! The rest of the staff were very rude and so biased towards certain students and what i felt was racially biased aswell. Overall, if you want your kids to actually enjoy school and get a good education, dont send them here.

This is genuinely the worst school I have been ever in, I am a child with SEN and have a diagnosis with autism, if your child is academically well they will thrive in this environment, DO NOT put your child in this school if they have any mental health issues or a disability/diagnosis, I have never felt more stressed and burnt out in my life since coming to wildern, there are 3 types of groups at this school, children with behavioural issues, academically well students and students with SEN. This school does not care for the SEN pupils at all. You are ignored and put to the side. This school only actually cares about attendance and GSCES. This school has the worst communication system ever. I had someone sent out an email to the head of my year and she did not get back to it months later, when I was at wildern it was the most miserable time of my life. My mental health dropped significantly and I ended up in the hospital. all because of being a child with autism and not being listed to by wildern. The SEN department is a lovely team but overall has its limits. I can not stress this enough. DO NOT put your child into wildern. I wanted my years in secondary school to be fun and memorable but all I have is how horrible I experienced it. this school has a memo “no child left behind” this is completely bullshit. this school does not treat you as a human being but rather as an alien. During this school I have had the worse years of my life. I wish that I could of gone to a better accommodating school and actually enjoyed my time at secondary school but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I only have the memory’s of how disgusting they treated me.

in year ten and genuenly have never felt so depressed until going to wildern the amount of issues ive had with people trying to fight me and teachers doing absaloutley nothing about it is inasane. The lack of communication the teachers have needs to be sorted out as it has caused tons of issues to the point my mum is looking at moving me schools. If your into getting into fights and being violently bullied then go ahead and come to wilder

The staff, bully, punish for breathing, insult and physically assault pupils. They do not know how to teach children I have had to report them to the police for assault. They give him detention every single day. They send me emails calling my son him/her I’ve asked them not to do this and they continue. Absolutely shocking awful school

I hate it like really really really bad

I'm in year 10 and the teachers have been fat shaming me forcing me to only eat 1 thing and I got put in inclusion and been suspended for a day for being called a disappointment and the thing is this all started bc of my knee injury so I couldn't dance for 2 weeks when my knee got better enough to dance my teacher shouted at me saying that I should know the dance like the back of my hand when I weren't even taught the dance and it got me really angry bc she never marked through it never explained anything and none of the teachers care bout your mental health or health in general this is the worst school in hampshire dont go

Horrible students, so much racism. Have reported multiple problems but the Wildern teachers wont stick by our side. Student services mostly works for the white students and the people with race always get blamed. Teachers barely do anything. Horrible school. Would not recommend.

This school is honestly awful,as a former student all the teachers care about is getting there money.If the school dont like the way you act in the slightest,they create fake bullshit scenarios about you and report you instantly.The teachers are out to get there students and most of them are racist nonces.

I hate it here it stinks the food is expensive and dry and bad and everyone hates gays and they’re racist

I hate this school and I’m glad I’m leaving thank god lol they don’t care about their students, teachers cuss at students, teachers say the n word?? It’s ridiculous. Whole school is full of naughty kids who don’t get punished properly

As a student at Wildern School for now, I am currently in the process of transferring schools. This school has done nothing but hurt my Mental Health, in ways it is so hard to describe, and bullying is endless while the resolutions are a constant let-down. Teachers, especially Heads of Years, believe their job is to make the school look good, and do not care or pay any mind to the students who get hurt in the process. We recently had an Ofsted inspection and whilst it pins me to say this, because I love the classes and friendships the school has to offer, it’s safe to say they were not pleased. Before this inspection we were instructed to watch a 25 minute long video, in which something along the lines of the following was said: “We have an opportunity to showcase our school, so if they pull you out of lessons, you can tell them all about how bullying is rare and how many clubs there are and how safe you feel.” I personally feel bullying is everywhere, they refuse to support female association in clubs and I do not at all feel safe. I speak for so many people when I talk of the days I have come home in tears because this school has stressed me to the point of anxiety attacks, and bullying has added to how alone and scared I have felt. For me, my experience at Wildern so far has been nothing short of appalling.

It sucks the life out of the children.. teachers lie and taunt the kids, reprimanded for nothing, support is limited too many children , if I could choose again I would never send my children here.

The school is bad becus mr hinks looked at my serch hist or eee and say sands undertsle deltsrune and sed "BAD TIME SIMULATOR" rely loud in moral stud ies

bad school, do not go here it is awful. Claim to care about our health but mainly serve unhealthy food. i used to be vegetarian and could never find good food without meat. if you're in year 6 and are coming here ask ur parents to exchange schools. Honestly awful, do not do anything useful with bullying. My mate was bullied once and they got her to write a book of everything they said. SLT should be nicer and more likeable so people actually want to talk to them. School counsellor also awful, kept interrupting and in general just not understanding. the teachers know everything (bullying, people talking badly abt others in their lessons, racism, homophobia in lessons ect.) and don't tell anyone. don't pay attention to their students (they just keep talking through the lesson without noticing if ur zoned out or if someone's being horrible to you in lesson) the teachers see the school as a job not a literal life changing experience for their students. a teacher constantly has scars on their wrists (self-harm) and wears short sleeved dressers that go up to the point in their arm where you can see it. They are also just a really bad teacher, spends 30 mins doing the 5 question starter, never shuts up and actually teaches and has a tapestry that is commonly associated with witchcraft in their room which i have no issue with but I'm sure religious people could feel uncomfortable about it. overall the school is awful please do not make ur kid come here. some aprts are ok though, some teachers are genuinely alright and most lessons are just what you'd expect from a school like Wildern, but overall I'd reccomend stay away from here at least until they get better which I'm sure they will after a bit of a reality check. frogot to add this but they use hashtags for their school phrases which i think is just really weird, like they're trying to relate to us but in the crigiest way ever, for example #itsnotok is to say it is not ok to "sa" or "grape" someone but that is such a serious topic and it was turned into a joke by most of the school because of the #. they should definitely stop this cause no one is taking anything they say seriously because they made it funny. I think the teachers should be more professional as well. the #'s are just one part of it. I get education for life or pe lessons being fun and funny and stuff but nothing else really needs to be. it makes people not really care about their education cause the teachers don't care either. and i get u want your lessons to be fun for everyone but we're their to learn not to have a banter with our teachers, it takes away our respect for them.

This school is bloody awfull they’re really bad with neurodiverse children and they are sexist and racist and homophobic

Horrific school treat students horribly don’t care about students mental health at all bullying is a huge problem and that’s from personal experience and they are terrible at dealing with problems or incidents they seem to care more about uniform then student wellbeing 100% do not recommend this school

as a former student of wildern school, i can safely say it was the worst 5 years of my life. half the teachers are amazing, my all time favourite was Mrs Chandler in student services and this one english teacher, other than that the teachers were unbelievably strict and down right rude!!! being told to buy a printer so i can print off homework at home by my 10 & 11 science teacher, being told to buy better shoes by my head of year when my parents had next to nothing for money!!! it was disgusting. i suffered from bullying from year 7 through to year 11 and what was done about it? nothing!! i suffered from online bullying and told it was my fault because i put my self out on social media and should expect to be bullied online!!! i was always told that the student would be spoken to in order to stop the bullying but it just continued and got worse. in year 11 i was sexually harassed by 2 boys in my science class, they said the boys would be spoken to. and they were, but they expected ME, the victim, to move seats or classes because of what they had done to me. mostly new (untrained) teachers at wildern could not control the class, it was like a room of wild animals!!! i had cleaning products sprayed on me, books thrown at me, chairs too and because the teacher was new he couldn’t control the class for the life of him. i felt bad for him. i knew someone that accused a teacher for sleeping with her to get a good grade, guess what wildern did? yep!!! nothing!! spoke to the girl and her parents and still kept her in this poor man’s class!!!! i could go on with the amount of stories i have of this hell hole, but please if you know what is good for your child (and their mental health!!) do not send them to wildern. it’s possibly the worst school you could send them too. even my parents regret sending me there and sent my sister to another school due to my experience!!

I cannot judge the school as i have only been here a few months. The school so far is amazing and the food is great but.... ~ The queues for food are very long and it takes almost all of your break to get to the till. When you finally get there, everything is gone and only drinks are available ~ Bullying seems well-dealt with but I've heard from friends that their siblings were genuinely injured whilst at Wildern. Like i said, cannot judge. I do think the school can improve but there is always room for improvement.

Bullying is so common in this school. I was bullied personally and the school doesn't care whatsoever. They care more about uniform more than the students' mental health and education. In the past week there has been so many fights and the school punishes people who were there more than the people who are involved. This school makes pupils afraid to come in.
