Poor Leadership
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE
This school is the worst. I've experienced multiple situations where teachers have shown zero respect towards their students. For example, I was told I'd fail my English exam and degraded because the current books we were working on were extremely triggering with past experiences I've had. This was by the head of English... While my head of year watched while she did this, even while I was sobbing my eyes out.
Not only that but while they claim to look out for those mentally ill or suffering, they are completely ignorant and uneducated. My friend had HEALED scars on her legs and she was told to cover them up because she may influence others to self harm too and that she was showing them off which is so stupid. People with self harm scars still have to live with their scars and there's almost no way to get rid of them so it's disturbing to tell children that they should cover up something like that when they've healed.
The amount of times I've been told to 'ignore' homophobia and transphobia in my school is disgusting. It also shows how little of an understanding these people have of the kind of effect being dead named, misgendered, having slurs shouted at has.
If you care about your childs mental health, do NOT send them here.

Great school
I've just left dinas bran and I met loads of great students and some great staff members and overall its been a great time.
Its terrible
I go there now, I'm in year 10 and this school sucks! They do nothing about homophobia, transphobia or bullying or any of that stuff, instead they just give a kid a gentle slap on the wrist and tell them no, in year 9 alone I suffered sexual harassment, abuse from an ex, sexual assault, assault and much more, I talked to the school about this and all they did was talk to the children! Not even call the child's parents or anything! It's not recommended unless your going to bully everyone - grace
Absolutely awful
Experienced bullying, fit told I was lucky to have an eating disorder by a member of staff who were supposed to be trained, and got told my disability was attention seeking.
Bad unsupportive school
I went to Dinas bran from 2016-2021 if I could give it a 0 I would honestly their was some nice teachers like 2 but they were just awful otherwise awful safeguarding awful emotional support and no help with bullying if you require anything don't bother asking cause they won't help you, the bully was awful and the fighting was constant and un punished also for student of low income there's no support and the free school meal you can barely survive on the money they give if you want breakfast you cannot have lunch you have to choose, I want to say my re teacher best teacher in the world tho Mrs Griffiths made my school time more bareable
Crap school
Can’t provide good school meals meats always raw . Teachers constantly try argue with students including me over anything small .they don’t understand mental disorders and tell it ain’t hard . They make u feel like crap all day long honestly need to change !!! Can’t be 2 seconds late without being challenged!
Sort urself out
Absolutely shocking hate it teachers ain’t understanding what’s so ever . Can’t cope in that school . Teachers there ain’t nice I only know like 3 nice teachers in the whole school honestly shocking .
Current student
Teachers allow bullying and some have faviroutes, also if you wear a hoodie or trainers expect to get eliminated by the SLT department
School of bullies!!
Absolutely terrible!! School of bullies especially **** ***** and the so called************ ******* ***** ********* *** ***** *******,
I left in year 10 after being laughed at by all three of them after reporting I was bullied and I had thoughts of harming myself they laughed and said I was overreacting and blowing everything out of proportion.

Disgusting Environment
I have moved on from this school and it has been the best thing I have ever done, same for my sibling. They are now top of there year in there new school and dinas bran ruined there mental health. Same with me, I will carry these memory’s for the rest of my life. I was sexually harassed for three years and they did nothing. They made me sit in a room and shake hands with the boy who did that. They didn’t help me with my special needs and the ridicule you get off fellow students just for being slightly different is ridiculous, the homophobia and transphobia is high. I was kicked down a hill nearly everyday for 4 weeks. They didn’t do anything now my ankle gives way when I walk.
I will give credit to Mrs. McDonald, Mrs Griffiths Re and Mrs Griffiths Geography, they made that school so much better. Without them I would not have made it out of there.

They allow transphobia and homophobia
I don't go to this school anymore, thank God, but I got bullied and harassed for my sexual orientation, my gender identity, and even just how close I was with my friends, and the only teacher who tried to stop it only did because she was personal friends with my mother, although this did nothing. Teachers watched ad people shouted slurs at me and they did nothing.
