it's fine, i guess

- its quite inclusive and the mental health care is okay i guess
- there's a lot of pressure here and it's only slightly draining
- don't see/experience much bullying either
teachers are either really lenient or too strict
- it's getting one less star cuz they made me pay for marshmellows they didn't give me :(

don't go here

this school is the worst, I had to leave because they were so incredibly ableist. if you're neurodivergent absolutely stay away because every nd person i know who's been there hates it. I had my experiences constantly invalidated, there's no proper support system or time out place it's literally just a corridor.

Interesting experience

Some good teachers, hence why it isn't a one star review. These teachers are what really made going to school every day manageable.

I was miserable in this school, picking the school was a mistake. Unfriendly environment in which grades are prioritised over welfare. Not much relation with the neighbouring boys school, and being around that many girls leads to cliques. The mental health of many students is not great, and eating disorders are incredibly prevalent and glamorised.

Great school, mostly

Great school, mostly. Lots of “co” curriculars and house events. A few passive aggressive teachers. Teachers tend to either care about your mental health like they say or the ones who just ignore you. It says “sports” school. Most of the teams are selective so if you are sending your kids here and they are interested in a sport, get them some prior experience before coming as there isn’t many team sports for new people. But yes we get great GCSE results and we are really inclusive. Just don’t be fooled by the sports school tag line.

Amazing School

During year 7, i was really unsure. I’ve got the hang of it now. The girls are so supportive and kind, you can really be yourself around them. The school allows us to express ourselves freely, and are really supportive for students struggling with mental health, family issues etc. I know everyone has their own personal opinions, but i think AHS has been one of the best decision i’ve ever made. They let students from all different backgrounds express themselves through pride parades and cultured dances etc.

I love it here

Such a great environment, I love it here, particularly now that I’m in 6th form. By the way I haven’t seen a boy in 6 years I forgot what they are

Moved here for sixth form

Great school, there is pressure to do well but this pressure will be common in any high performing schools. Staff are friendly and approachable as well as the students. Great student leadership team made up of a cabinet and ambassadors. Would recommend. Best state school for girls sport in the country.

Good if you're academic

Lots of focus on academics, even to the detriment of mental health of students. A lot of pressure is put on students to do well. Lots of sporting opportunities but only if athletically able, if you're not great at sports then you can't be on any of the teams. Lessons and teaching are usually high quality. Lots of indoor and outdoor facilities, different clubs and activities.
