All Hallows RC High School

I will never recommend this school to anyone. I refused to go in when I was october of my year 10 in 2018 after one of the teachers turned the mock exams and GCSE'S into a competition with another teacher and class and a few other things Pressure got so bad I ended up threatening to kill myself if my parents sent me in. My parents had a meeting with the headteacher two days later, only to have them threaten to fine my parents and report them to the school district if I did not come in. Obviously they did not force me in and after only 3 days off, they called the school district head and someone came over to the house. The person who came was baffled as to why they had called them as it was clear I was serious and that it had only been 3 days. We felt relieved to have someone on our side and she fought with us. The headteacher was nasty and was not understanding about my mental health. For the first two months, the school sent work home for me which I would do at my mom's workplace. However, that all changed after the new year and they refused to send me anything home. As I was a good pupil who did not cause any problems, a few teachers who had me since the beginning knew things were bad if I was refusing to come in, had offered to come and tutor me in their own time for free. I will be forever grateful for them but the sight of them made me have panic attacks, which became a regular thing. After about 6 months of no work or support, I got diagnosed with severe anxiety from school and autism, aswell as PTSD and depression caused from school. I can't even look at the school or be out at the time school comes out because it causes me too much stress. Again, the school was no help at all, and the school district was forced to step in and got me in a smaller school for people who struggle in big schools and a place called citywall. All hallows was forced to pay for citywall which accosted them about £150,000 + a year which I stayed for 6 years, which might I add is karma. If I have kids, I will never send them to a school like this.

Overall, my time at All Hallows was very mediocre. Granted it’s better than most schools in Salford and it is great for education (mostly). However, there is problems that can’t be ignored. Firstly, certain teachers act like control freaks and act as if they are above their students. This does not apply to most teachers but most are more lenient with the rules to the students that don’t behave well. Secondly, there is some issues with the bullying in the school, the staff tell students to tell someone but most of the time this will not solve a problem and often it worsens the situation. Also, when students deal with this by themselves, they are wrongly disciplined. Thirdly, inside the building is cramped and many students feel overwhelmed by the little space they have to move around the building. The outdoor environment is nowhere near bad. However, the equipment on the MUGA is very limited. A way to stop this is by possibly giving the students more footballs, basketball, etc. Finally, the canteen area is very low quality, food often being undercooked or watery, this has been a problem that has been discussed many of times with little improvement.

Worst years of my life spent here. So glad i’m free and doing what i love!

I use to go to this school it’s a DISGRACE you can’t go toilet when you need it once one of my peers needed a toilet the teacher said no my peer said he was going to Pee on the floor and the teach still said no and he ended up peeing on the floor which was not very hygienic but all because of the teacher you can’t use toilets during class at dinner you have to wait 30 minutes to use the toilet there’s only 2 toilets for boys and there’s about 500 boys in the school which is a disgrace I would NOT place your child in this school on less you want them to have shocking mental health,Being in over crowded corridors and being given C3S everyday because of either sticking up for him self asking to go toilet having a sip of water or losing there book or pen they are too strict no teachers help you all classrooms are overcrowded every time you put ur hand up for help the teacher ignores you and says you should know this Dinners are therey expensive meal deal is £5:50 None of the teachers in that school care about your mental health all they care about is jewellery,tattoos,Lack of equipment technically everything but your mental health all teachers are cruel to students in all sorts of different ways. Favourtism is a big thing in all hallows. It’s that bad I don’t have one good thing to say. Teachers shout at you a lot over strict Rules are 100 percent bad some of the rules are you have to ask to take blazer off you have to ask to have a drink of your own water ask to go toilet (Which they never let you go) You cannot shout when you are OUTSIDE In the play ground you cannot play games such as tag so how are we suppose to burn our energy to be honest I was really scared of going in school because all the teachers use to bully me and pick on me for no reason and then I got given a £60 pound fee which was for missing school which is wrong because I was so scared I use to cry to my mum and begged to have a day off because all the horrid teachers who use to bully me for no reason

to the people who want to consider this school, you should because this is the only decent school in salford. other schools like oasis, albion, buile hill don't treat their kids as well as they do here. tips for this school is that:

- be on time, they care a lot if you aren't on time to lesson
- consider the amount of corridor space, small school with too many kids
- school doesn't do many trips, this is not a trip school. if there is one, it's usually to
another country.
- just make sure you try to follow the rules, some teachers really take the piss.

its actually good , good education and the teachers are nice, most of them. some of the food is runny you know and stuff like that but all hallows apart from the litter, the large enrollment and some teachers, its good.

teachers are nonces tbh and the place stinks

This school is terrible with mental health, does not support students properly and doesn't care about weather students are happy, there are a few counselors ect. (most of which don't help) but other than that they couldn't care less. Have anxiety over certain things? Get over it? They also have a rule where you can only user certain toilets depending on what year you are in, on your period? Too bad that's a detention for being in the wrong bathroom. The teachers just make students feel on edge. Do not go to this school, I know so many people who have had to take students out of this school because their mental heath suffered. There are classes with up to 34 children and need Extra tables and chairs to be added to rooms. Seems like it would be hard to concentrate in class don't you think?

Most senior leaders in this school are covert racists.Picked and victimised my child throughout his time in the school.They made his life hell with the constant picking on.Kicked him out of leavers assembly and withdrew his invitation to prom.All it takes for them is for the child to stand up and speak up for himself and they class it as being rude or intimidating.
Their constant reports and picking on has affected my child's mental health badly.

there is a lot of favouritism here. and it's usually towards the ones who are more badly behaved. i think it's because the teachers are scared of provoking the more badly behaved ones in case things take a turn for the worse. either way, it's unfair. the food is bad imo, usually too watery, undercooked or flavourless so i usually bring my own lunch. litter on the floors and members of staff are very bad at dealing with bullying. they see it happening right in front of them and do nothing. plus the rule on masks is so wack. masks are compulsory in the halls where nobody is around, but optional in the classroom where you're sat directly next to someone? and there aren't very many resources in the school. gluesticks and felt pens often go missing.
