To anyone leaving five-star reviews, please stop. You clearly have no idea what it’s like for the students at this school. No real problems ever get fixed, and nothing ever changes. Most parents can tell you the same thing issues go ignored, and it’s frustrating to watch. Sadly, many parents don’t seem to care as long as their kids are in education, no matter how bad the environment is. Half the teachers are on a power trip, and while there are a few nice ones, they’re very few and far between. The way some teachers speak to students is vile. My daughter had an incident where she came on her period in the morning, and nobody was in her hub. She couldn’t make it across the school to go to medical to get a pad, so she had no choice but to use the 6th form toilet, which was the only one available with free pads. The second she entered, the teacher came at her full on there was no waiting for an explanation. The teacher opened the door and immediately started shouting, aggressive and hot-headed, not even giving my daughter a chance to explain herself. She was immediately met with hostility, and it wasn’t just a question or a calm inquiry; it was a full-on shouting match. The teacher’s behavior was completely unacceptable. It’s never okay for an adult, especially a teacher, to treat a child this way for something as simple and natural as getting a pad. Thankfully, my daughter recorded the incident, so there’s proof of what happened. This wasn’t just a misunderstanding it was unnecessary, demeaning, and completely disrespectful. Of course, this isn’t even close to the many incidents in this school, but it’s one of them

I don't know what to say about this school some teachers are good but some are not , some teachers have favorites and find it support. The amount of stress this school has made to me is ridiculous. All the rumors and even to the point of expelling all the kids thinking that's gonna do something when it dose absolutely nothing. This school is improving in some degree, but it's horrible for mental health issues and they don't care. Safe guarding is just as worst . This school is ok but no promises that you won't leave with issues .

All 3 of my children went here any concerns or worries I’ve had the school have sorted straight away and my kids enjoyed going to school their bully rate is zero . My son also has adhd and his time at this school was fab they put everything in place and made sure if Jack needed anyone they were there.

I mean It's a decent school,
even though the teachers, and staff are all very strong on bullying, they do jack crap about it!
I feel the problem is getting better, but it still is bad.
Also I do feel like the new head has made the strong feel a bit more friendly,

Also the toilet situation is ass. I barely get go!

Not really happy with the school admin. I am at work and miss a call less than 5 minutes later I call them back only to be left on hold for over 25 minutes before giving up ! So now have to go back to work concerned about why the school have phoned,? if my child is ok ? Have you ever heard of leaving a voicemail
Or having reception staff to answer the phone ?

Bad school, don’t send your kids here full of kids with mental health illnesses( your kid will most likely leave with one) and chavs, hard not to get bullied and the teachers don’t make any sense, also very low chance of getting a good job. Kids here are extremely extremely rude
