Worthing High School

My daughter enjoyed her taster session at Worthing high . Staff and students were very friendly. She is considering this school for year 7

Terrible school. I have never, EVER, been exposed to so much abuse from my peers AND my teachers. Let's list some of the things that happened to me here, shall we? 1. My 'friends' were throwing their bags on my back and sitting on me, pinning me down and hitting my ribs. After they were done, I tried to get up but I couldn't stand straight. My friends were told to leave me by the PE teacher, Mr Townsend, who allegedly whispered to them as they all left me 'this is why you don't stay up all night playing video games'. I was left on the field, alone, for 30 minutes before the headmistress (at the time) noticed me, and with a student, helped me to my feet. I was escorted to the school nurse, and an ambulence shortly arrived. My kidneys were badly bruised, and I had to take time off. 2. During the assault, I had bit one of the ankles of the girls in an effort to get them away from me. She showed her mum, and I was taken to a teacher. They all lied about what they did, and I was given detention for a week for every single breaktime, lunchtime and even afterschool- 2 hours detention every day in total. They literally CALLED AN AMBULANCE for me, yet believed 3 of the girls responsible over my story. 3. One time, I was wearing leggings instead of tights since my tights were all ripped and it was cold. Mr Swift shouted at me, in front of my form room, demanding that I take them off in front of everyone as an example to them. I refused, and after 5 minutes of him screaming at me, I was given a detention. 4. PE teachers were awful in general, and would often comment if girls were 'getting chubby' or boys were 'getting soft'. 5. Bullying and mental health support was terrible. My school nurse told my neglectful, abusive parent that I was self harming and I was made to show him my scars in front of the 'safeguarding team'. I have so many more stories, but I hope this is enough to save your child from this school.

Overall okay but my main problem is the school forcing opinions on us like femenism ect without giving us a chance to state our opinions, i feel the school deals with homophobia and many many assemblies on it in comparison to racism and this is a huge problem, I feel there isnt enough support for your own opinions and it has to stick to what most people are saying nowdays

I cannot believe that worthing high school are still not being held accountable for the discusting way they treat their pupils and their parents. My child was a subject of their abuse in 2018-2019, when I reported it to the police and all other authorities I was shut down, however after fighting my case for the next couple of years I went on to win my case against the head master and his very handsy and abusive minions. Clearing our names of the accusations and slurs they through at us, they were found to have been unlawful in their treatment of us. Unfortunately the way they treated my child has left them with life long issues, and us as a family dealing with the aftermath of their actions. If I can help anyone in a similar situation please get in touch. Thanks for reading I hope this will bring hope to others. Abuse in high school's has to end! Sharonellis717@gmail.com

This school is just awful, I was a student here from year 7 to 11. It used to be a good school with good staff but in recent years they have hired the worst staff imaginable. The pastoral team despise the students, especially mrs C***ke, and the staff team is honestly horrible.

Ok? Not bad, pretty decent, overall very ok ???

Very good school to work in.
