Y Pant Comprehensive

The toilets in the school are honestly atrocious, i feel like i get no privacy so i never use them. I haven’t used one of the school toilets at all and i’ve been in this school for 2 years. With the way the toilets are done it’s basically saying “hey, you get toilets right across from the girls/boys! no privacy for girls or boys but at least you get toilets!” And don’t get me started on nurture, they treat all the students there like babies. They aren’t learning properly because they’re being treated specially, but if they’re being taught and treated the same as us but in a different way, then it’s gonna be easier for both worlds. Finally, before year ten exams, one of the teacher had clearly stated they don’t have to go back to lessons after the exam. But after it, the teacher said they have to go back. Do you want to know how the students retaliated? They all ran to the fence and climbed out. So many of them did. And that’s because of the teachers. There’s so much more i want to say, like how one of the maths teachers are moving too quickly on the topics that we never learn properly. My teacher literally said that when we finish year 8 work, we’re moving onto year 9 work. I get an average of 20-40% on my tests and i’m in top set. I used to get more, but now that it’s all rushed, i learn nothing. Anyways, as i’ve stated there’s so much more things wrong with this school but it all gets shut down, like we don’t matter. Because do students really matter? I mean, you teach and you get paid, even if it’s bad.

The school does not deal with bullying effectively. This is brought up time and time again and there is plenty of evidence online of this.
The school will move the victim if at all and not deal with the bullies.
They have a anti bullying policy that on the first occasion will not inform the bullies parents but speak to the bully first. This does not work as the victims are too scared that the bully will be angered and so nothing happens.
I know of many children that are refusing to attend school, and the teachers response is either don't go then or we'll get the police to make you go.
Such a shame as the school has the potential to be a positive force but lets it self down.
This will only lead to poor grades for many students
It also allows older boys to bully and steal from younger girls and doesn't seem bothered or take action.
If my child gets bullied one more time I will be informing the local education authority and the police.

Individual teachers can be great or dreadful, headmistress and senior leadership team evidently have no idea what they’re doing. No support for well-being, the so-called “well-being officer” does nothing but sit in her office and talk badly about students to other students. Illogical rules and a “reward the naughty kids when they’re slightly less naughty” system instead of rewarding hard working ‘good kids.’ Constantly sent emails for opportunities for those studying medicine and no other subject areas- this small minority is the only they see important. The classrooms are lovely however if all that money can be spent on such a nice looking school- wheres the money for facilities we actually need? not a decent set of coloured pencils in the entire art department unless you bring your own. Goes to show they only care about how good our school looks and the grades we achieve rather than the wellbeing of the students. I’ve seen kids bullying others for their sexuality including death threats, yet god forbid a class teacher reprimand the student giving these threats or they’re “pushing their beliefs on children.” Overall, a miserable 5 years of my life- can’t wait to leave!

Overall okay, not really too good at helping neurodivergent students but the teachers are nice for the most part!!
