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.
