Honestly can’t even say how bad they treat kids when it comes to behaviour and consequences. They go to unimaginable lengths for minor things and make themselves out to be the victims. Food is a disgusting rip-off with some unmotivated kitchen staff. The only decent members of staff are the ones that don’t paint themselves to be nerdy straight A student with no life. Overall ofsted need to get there and sort or shut down the school. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE

absolutely disgusting in my personal opinion, teachers give detentions with no reason or warning. teachers insist on being right even when its clear there in the wrong, they disregard your right to personal space even if you ask for space politely they respond by saying no don't be rude, when it is clear to anyone with common sense that is not rude avoid coming here and avoid the teachers

My sons love Sheredes. When my son who is in year 9 now got Sheredes as a school at first I was not pleased as I wanted him to go to John Warner, but I was very wrong as I am so pleased he got Sheredes as my other son has started in year 7 now as well.

I would highly recommend Sheredes over the other secondary schools. It is a smaller school so less to a class. They deal with all aspects like bullying etc, really well.

My older son is one of the top 5 in his year and they are both doing well.

If you have any doubts about Sheredes like I did you don't have to worry as it is a great school, and the teachers and head master are really good, they are such a friendly school as well being smaller than the others.

When my other two children are older they definately will also go to Sheredes as now I so pleased he got Sheredes as his first choice.

The school is going from strength to strength as they have a new Headmaster now and it is one of the top schools in the area.

Good luck in choosing your choice but I never leave reviews much but feel strongly to do so as I feel so fortunate that I chose this school for my children and if you do the same you won't go wrong.

Rav phagura is nasty person that does not allow anyone to have any fun and puts the schools reputation before student well being. everything about this school is disgusting the quality of the food is shocking and the price of the food is appalling I used to pay 65p for 220ml of water in a cardboard container filth and the salad was brown we asked for the food to be changed and nothing happened don’t go here save yourself

Great school good quality though the consequences are terrible. If a student forgets a stupid uniform card paper they get an hour detention

Don't come here it's an awful school but the only good side is the food but it's very expensive I wouldn't even give it one star but I have no choice the punishments are WAY over the top and ever since I left I feel much better in myself don't send your child here especially if they want to face the consequences of forgetting to bring a pencil or pen (or some piece of equipment) unless you want your child to get a 1-2 hour det just because of that

It is the best school in the area
