Poor atandards
Teachers teaching subjects they’re not qualified to teach, bad behaviour almost seems to be accepted with no consequences, and what I’ve noticed is teachers just see children as troublesome. To them, it’s a job. That’s it.

If only they would listen to the parents.....
My daughter has just been diagnosed with Fasd and Autism at Winchcombe school they knew her circumstances we received no help whatsoever all they did was daily ring up for me to collect her and say she was a naughty child. I kept saying there's something wrong it's more than that no help just fobbed off. Their idea for a child who's different is to isolate them... It's a bittersweet victory that my daughter just been diagnosed but knowing the conversations we had with Winchcombe they didn't want...

Needs to improve
Very poor , hopefully the new headteacher will bring the school up to better standards. Teachers that are nice but they can’t teach. Children just left frustrated by the schools inability to see how the effect the choices the school makes, especially assessments, rushing through work. The school even though they may say they want the best for each student , accepting of individuals, it’s not really shown and felt by the students. Leading to lack of motivation and support felt. The school reall...

Crap Mental Support for Students
A lot of complaints are for the GCSE options. I agree with this , when both my siblings were here, there were 4 languages: German, Japanese, french, and Spanish. The most new and 'hip' option is media studies. The teachers aren't exactly great here either. They don't actually listen to the students and the pastoral team hasn't done squat for anyone as far as I'm aware.

Gcse's and school overall
Barely any languages options. I was told to pick French in my early years as I was told it was easier (which it was and I enjoyed it) then was moved to Spanish in year 9 by the school which I found incredibly hard. Our school is now basically just teaches Spanish barely any French is taught. Also teachers also arnt great and sometimes don't treat us well at all. Overall it's a decent school but isn't the best. I myself would not send my kids here in the future

no GCSE options
The GCSE options for this school are terrible, Winchcombe has cut down on it's options loads (not that there were many in the first place)for example they removed 2 of the 4 languages German and Japanese. Another school has multiple computing classes Game design, art graphic communication and creative I media, but Winchcombe only has the basic computer science

Don’t send your kids here
Don’t send your kids here. I hate it. Teaches that yell at you about your Faliure if your not in a higher set. Kids having suicidal thoughts all over the place because of the school.
