Woolwich Polytechnic school for Girls

this school is such a joke, like I am currently a year 11 in this bad school and i was actually very unwell, the teachers didnt care that i was unwell and put me in a detention. I was crying the entire time since lunch time because of how much pain I was going through with my illness. so i had an hour detention for being more than 5 mins late, and i was crying obviously, and in the detention room for wednesday's everyone knew i was crying, my head of year was in the room but didnt even ask how i am doing, didnt care as always, i wanted to check the time on my phone because the clock in the room was not right and i didnt wanna ask since i was upset. so then my deputy head of year whacked me on the fricking head with paper. thats child abuse right there, i had to give my phone for checking the time... and they said i cant get it back until end of term. i was too upset and ill to do anything. and it should be illegal to keep a childs phone at school overnight. this place is actually prison but worse.

I am disgusted with this school, it is one of the worst institutions I have seen. Today, the Year 8 year group had line-up as usual at their lunch break, and it was deemed inadequate by SLT and the headteacher, and as a result they were made to 'practice' this lineup afterschool. Every student was made to stand for the equivalent of a standard detention in the sun, facing forward and silent. Any pupil who did not follow this was threatened with a two-hour afterschool detention by the staff. One of the staff members also decided that the entirety of the year group should lose their break and lunch the next day (last day of term), and should stand for the entire time in line-up. They also said that if any student did not attend this during their break there would be consequences (for everyone else). This was most likely decided without the involvement of their Head of Year as she was not present today and was on a trip. This is not the first time they have decided to exhibit these outdated practices of collective punishment on students of different year groups as well. There are a select few students and form groups who do not follow instructions during line-up, and therefore they should be disciplined separately instead of punishing girls who do follow instructions and behave well. The amount of times this has taken place is shocking and completely unacceptable, but this was the worst. Clearly this practice of collective punishment is not working so perhaps it's time for a change in your discipline methods.

This school I had attend is terrible they don’t care about mental health what’s so ever they hide the truth from the public threaten us that if we wrote bad reviews we won’t get a good grade I’m very appalled with the way the treat us students if expect better to be honest even 1 is too much to give them SEND your child here at your own risk !!!

i went here in year 7 and i got a detention for being late and she said it was my fault that i missed the bus because it was full . Also the school is really bad they force you to put your blazer on and if you have a jumper on you have to put your blazer on.They say you can express yourself but can only have stud earrings and not allowed nail polish
