Worst school in the Town bar none.
My two step kids went to this school - both kids struggled here. Communication is awful borderlining on unprofessional and breaches in confidentiality between members of staff regarding private and confidential information on my two step kids. You want my advice, take them to Ratton up the road because at the very least your kid's mental health would be taken into account

This school is terrible at dealing with stuff involving students A situation that I had between myself and an ex substitute teacher was beyond terrible Instead of the school allowing us to get police involved they tried to convince both me and my mum (an ex teacher (they treat teachers incredibly poorly too)) that they could handle it Looking back on the situation I can for sure say that I would love to go back in time and get police but oh well They though that RJ was an appropriate solution to this horrible instance which was a crime committed by the teacher They'd do anything to protect there school name but nothing to protect their students

Awful
Worst school ever! Both me and my sister were bullied severely and sexual harrassed and abused. The school did nothing and the newest headteacher, Mrs May is rude arrogant and an awful teacher. The only teacher who tried to sort it out was Mr Gordon. Don't send your child here!!!!! Even there own staff are leaving due to how bad it is

Bad Place
This school is absolute torture. The teachers are incredibly unhelpful and hardly ever care about people's mental health. They'll say they do but all they ever do is just shove work in your faces and expect you to just do it. They give out far too much homework and it isn't fair on teenage children who just want to live a childhood. They shouldn't have to spend all their free time doing homework.

Shambles of a school
I would not recommend sending your child here. The school may portray that it is fantastic but behind the scenes that is not what you get. The headteacher is a feminist so if you are a boy you are in for a truly hard time. The school has double standards throughout and the teachers do not sing from the same hymn sheet! At your own risk do you go here ! You need to also ask the question why the majority of the really good teachers have left the school to work elsewhere! I am sure it won’t be long until it’s under special measures! A great school that has been ruined by very poor leadership!

Chav Central
I was bullied by a guy for something I did in year 7. No one stopped his antics and I never got any support staff about the guy.

Willingdon must go
Don't recommend, as a student here, I can say I don't get treated fairly. And all the teachers are annoying

It’s okay
This school is okay but awful at dealing with bullying and don’t deal with things properly. Some of the staff like the substitute teachers that work for school make life miserable by taking things too seriously and make the school look like a shit show. Even the head of years which they encourage you speak to do not do jack shit about anything. Most teachers don’t generally make you feel safe and comfortable like you are supposed too.

The school could do with some changes?
In my opinion, I believe that willingdon community school is slacking when it comes too teaching, dealing with certain threats like bullying and racism towards other and some of the teachers there are down right disrespectful. I feel like some teachers make it there everyday privilege to make certain students feel like they don't belong and most of all I think the teachers purposely do a half-assed job. On the other hand there is some really good teachers who make us feel welcome like we should. We should be able to feel safe at school not worried that if we come in the next day that a teacher or students are going to say or do some utterly disrespectful!!!

No care about student wellbeing, teachers always assume the worst. Facilities are dirty.Food is way too expensive for kids.
