Overrated
I went to this school in the 1990s and by reading many of the reviews on this website nothing much has changed. The students are mostly obnoxious, the quality and the facilities of it being a good school is very exaggerated, the school is over crowded and the staff can be awkward. In short its good reputation is overrated and take the ofsted reports with a pinch of salt.

SEND children not welcome!
If I could rate this secondary as not fit for purpose, I would. I'm in the process of changing schools for my child, who has been failed massively by every member of staff who he has been in the care of. If your child requires SEND help, you can forget it. Arthur Mellows will invest their time in pupils who are high acheivers and who will retain their excellent ofsted report. My child was self harming in school and I only found out when I had requested some teachers fill out questionnaires for h...

School review
Staff attitude horrible... kids demotivated by ridiculous reports-ask for pen (run out of ink) poor behaviour, ask for plan- poor behaviour, laughing for kid's jokes poor behaviour, etc...stating arguments...isolation and poor behaviour...kids treated without personality freedom.

Drastic measures and critical attitude towards students
Attitude towards students is beyond critical especially pastoral. There is no freedom for children, everything has become drastic. Pen run out of ink and no pencil- Poor Behaviour sent to parents, asking for time table again Poor Behaviour, singing a song in a classroom Poor behaviour or detention. Protecting yourself from being bullied or attacked- isolation...

Had high hopes, now hate this school
Bullying is not dealt with, mental health is not a priority, medical issues - you have to beg someone to listen to you. If I could send my child elsewhere I would. Staff are conditioned to follow the rules, so don’t expect to get help from anyone should you need it, better hope your child is perfectly unbullyable and has the emotional maturity of a 40 year old. Be prepared for your child to go hungry if getting school meals with any kind of allergies or specific diet.

don't recommend this school

shithole
i wouldn’t even bother going, teachers are useless, the first aid people are horrible and careless, i could probably do a better job myself, unless you’re straight and smart don’t even go.

Multiple issues
I’ve been at Arthur mellows since year 7 and there are multiple issues. One issue is a lack of consistent help especially with me being a disabled student. There were times when I had support from staff but other times when I felt like I had no where to turn to and get the support I needed. The pastoral team are so-so, yes I did get help when I got bullied multiple times but there didn’t seem to be any consequences for the students who bullied and just got told off basically. Bullying persisted...

My experience as an lgbt person
Very bad with student wellbeing and mental health, school counsellor is very bad and uneducated and pastoral fails to punish students being racist, sexist and homophobic. I am a transgender student and staff are rude and refuse to let me use bathrooms and be on PE teams which match my gender, not to mention the harassment I’ve faced from students which has been ignored when reported. There is not one gender neutral bathroom in school. I’ve heard similar stories from other trans students at school.
