WORST SCHOOL
This school is a total joke. White kids get away with everything like swearing at teachers and walking out of class .while the rest of us , especially Muslims get punished for the tiniest things.They can't even afford heating,so we freeze in class, but we get detention for wearing coats. Meanwhile,the teachers strut around in their ugly coats without any issue.
They claim to have a no bullying policy and preach about kindness like they're saints, but that's all a load of crap. They treat us like prisoners,give us way to much homework and act like school is our whole life. The loud , naughty students get all the attention,while the shy kids with social anxiety are forced to present and participate more than they're comfortable with.
We can't even go toilet when we need to , and they act like school thing that matters in our lives. It's clear that they don't care about us at all. They definitely show favouritism and are racist. They lose their mind when someone chews gum but turn a blind eye to bullying
The constant stress and unfair treatment makes it hard to focus on learning.We deserve a school that treats everyone fairly and supports all students,not just a select few .No heating and we can't even use the toilet during our period. They claim they care about our mental health,but it's a joke.They punish us for wearing coats or chewing gum but ignore bullying.
The teachers act like They are saint's but they are just as rude as the students. The school is a mess because of their hypocrisy. They have problems when we miss a few days in a year when we are ill and it's their fault for not putting the heaters on and giving us way too much stress. They force us to come school even when we physically can't and are very ill. All the teachers and students are disrespectful.
This school is a nightmare
DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!

Don’t bother considering this school
I don’t even think this school deserves 1 star it is totally bad there is no help or support from school just punishment for the kids for doing 1 little thing wrong oh and not to mention if you don’t abide by helping them out they threaten you with going to different services and love to slag you off including saying things to people you didn’t want to know data protection out of window totally WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL

They make everything so serious if it’s jus a small thing they u fair and criticise the kids the schools fucked up and the teachers can’t control the kids they racist fucks and vio the pakis give the goris privileges cause if their acting n shi so don’t even bother sending ya kids here.
Jus can’t take we’re better

Worst school.
Really bad school. Teachers don’t care at all as to what the students need. There are 1/2 teachers that care but other than that their all just really damn crap. The rules of the school are pretty messed up as well, and im saying this as a current student who goes there. If you arrive even a minute late you are given an after school detention for 30 minutes. Teachers really think that the child is willing to go to that after having such a long day? The toilet rules are the ones that are so bad. Its a girls school and of course we get our periods every month and if you asked to go to the toilet even having saying its that time of the month you’d get told straight up no and they’d say why didnt you go at break or lunch. They make it as though we control our bladder. Even the PE rules are so crap. You cant leave without wearing full proper uniform and the school gave out hoodies right, but even then you have to wear a school shirt under that. I mean, are people going to tell us to lift our hoodies up? No they aren’t. So whats the point? School uniform is already terrible as it is. Even in the winter, we can’t wear coats because its not part of the uniform but teachers can come in wearing massive fluffy coats? They look messy half of the time i mean they wear mis-matched clothing but thats fine? I mean, even the students oh my god are they bad. The current year 10’s are the absolute worst. You cant even smile at them without them saying some messed up shit to you. Not even that, the amount of racism is unbelievable. These teachers don't give a damn as to what a brown kid has to say, if its in a fight then their most likely to take the white kids side. Thats not fair at all. Racial discrimination at its finest. The jewellery rules are the most stupid. How is having 2 ear piercings going to affect the childs study? How is wearing a bracelet going to affect the childs study? In PE, if you have two piercings you’ll be told to take both out and if your second one hasn’t fully healed you get sent to isolation and get given an hour detention after school.
Logical thinking is just something that this school lacks so I have no idea why their complaining about the students being bad.

fuck knows 😂😂
lol to all your wierdos out there going skwl aren’t trying for my daughter and this and that saying the teachers won’t help them or whatever tbh the teachers don’t get paid enough to deal with half the shit these come out with yet they still try to find a solution as to how they can help us and get us back into lessons. Yeh I can’t lie they ain’t always the best help and they don’t understand us but how much are they expected to do. They get paid the bare minimum but get given the most shit ever all the swearing and behaviour n the amount we make them run around no wonder they’re fed up how much is a person meant to take there’s a certain amount before you reach the end and u think this is absolutely enough now. Yeh I agree suspensions, detentions and sanctions are rlly taking the piss now but it’s procedure and tbh end of the day they ain’t doing it to spend extra time with us cuz like 8 hours a day isn’t enough for us to drive them mad there doing it because there thinking maybe one day these kids will learn how important these up coming years are for them and how we really need to just get our head down and work hard not even for anyone else but ourselfs. help ourselfs out for once in a lifetime. Tbh I struggle loads in skwl with sitting in lessons and everything about school in general yeh there’s certain times I feel like the teachers failed me but overall I feel like they really try every way that could possibly get me on the straight and narrow before they’ve no longer got a choice. Yk what one day I was a kid with hope but now with these suspensions and how difficult skwls got only hope we’ve got is lasting the rest of the year in that school just hoping we make it out in that skwl. come to terms with the fact that ain’t none of us going anywhere because no one cares about the one struggling I mean who cares about “naughty kids” who aren’t gonna get anywhere anyways why because we always fuck up the good opportunity’s we get. Everyone thinks we’re rude and don’t listen to anyone swear at everyone skive do it for “attention” but no we fuckin don’t we’re generally not bad kids we just need support because clearly we’re struggling but no one’s willing to give us the support or the time of the day all because we’re “naughty”. But to all you mums out there complaining that bghs don’t support our daughters are that plz tell me tf r u doing for them. Are u even trying in the slightest to get help for your daughter?!? They can’t give help unless someone’s requested it. From my own experience they have the help there u just need to speak to them. With me I feel like they left it too late they thought she’ll settle and get better and behave but she didn’t her behaviour got worse and worse and worse to the point suspensions are every week I can’t last a week without one so now after time off there finally taking action, this could’ve been stopped earlier but it wasn’t! they thought locking me in a room sitting me alone and putting me in detention or sending me home or sending me to another school was gonna help but it didn’t it made matters 1000 times worse. So to all u mums out there being bitches look at your daughter look what she’s doing correct her first and then u can think about what action needs taking cuz u just want her off your head so u can chill at home whilst your arguing with skwl pathetic mf 😂😂. Whoever’s reading this we ain’t bad kids we just need support. and it’s not a bad skwl in general don’t listen to these weirdos who think there on badness when they ain’t got no clue what it’s like. 👍
Shit school
Right we’re do I start this school is a peace, of shit u don’t get no support when u need some all u do is get told of and these new rules man 😂what are these gonna do bc am telling u now they are not doing owt all they are doing is getting more ppl done and detentions are so pointless u don’t ever listen to us when we talk to u all u care aboit is running round school and looking for us when we are skiving no wonder why no one likes that’s school bc it’s a shit hole and mr rylie I could go on for days aboit him he’s a prick who need to leave bc he gets me mad and u need to sort the school out all together fr it’s so shit half of use staff can’t even cope wiv us so why even bother u weirdos 😂👍🏽

GCSE
Run by jungle kids. Teachers not bothered
I have uploaded a video of Mr Hunt claiming my child is just as bad as others, when really she was being being bullied since last year with 2 very disruptive girls. Pakistani jungle girls rule the school where they bully Indian girls over politics that happen in India Pakistan between modi and Kashmir land issues. Teachers say things they don’t do or commit to. Education is distrupted constantly by attention seeking Pakistani girls from off the estate who’s parents do not care about British values or education. Teachers cannot handle it. Innocent girls are put in isolation despite several attempts to correct this faulty system. Teachers then ignore you when you complain. HOW this school is outstanding is beyond me. It’s run by disruptive attention seeking “wannabe blogger/tiktokkers” with false lashes big enough cover their underarms and messed up parents who don’t care about their child’s behaviour or how their children’s bullying behaviour effects other good kids who get bullied . Girls/boys/transgenders who are confused about their sexuality take their frustration out on other kids and bully those who actually want to learn and be somebody in the future and WORK! They actually have a set 10 fir kids who have learning issues!!! SET 10???? Imagine how that kills off a child confidence, placing the kids in a set as lie as 10!!!! Pathetic, dangerous , destructive and kicks your child down mentally
Dont send your child here,and heres why.
Worst school ever.Where should i even begin..?
If you're a student who is not a quick learner or needs extra support,they WON'T provide you with it.They expect you to learn everything on you're own, they put work on google classroom and want you to learn it yourself with 0 help from the teachers because they are too lazy in lessons to actually teach students.Also,they only care about 'overachieving' and 'gifted' students they provide them with way better opportunities than 'average' students,they only care about the student's who are in set 1/2 but from set 3/4/5 they dont care about you,they discourage you into thinking you are 'dumb'.Also if you're in lower sets, especially in yr 9 the teachers will constantly rub it in you're face that you will do foundation science and maths. Also the behavior in lower sets is horrendous,the teachers do nothing about it except argue back with the students,they are grown adults who should know better than to argue with children,the right thing they should do is send the misbehaving student out of the class.But no,instead of excusing badbehaving students out of the class,they waste other students that actually want to learn lesson time,by having full blown arguments and also the teachers are very rude as they go on to mock students about how the way the students parents 'raised them'.
Also,they give u no trips or fun events,all the want you to do is work,work,work and WORK. If im being honest this school is more of a prison than it is a 'school'.
Heres why its a prison,the teachers dont let you go to the toilet, resulting in students getting bladder infections and utis.They dont let you wear coats even though the teachers themselves wear huge coats,how selfish. They always want you to look neat and tidy but the teachers look like scruffs and get away with it.If they care about uniform so much,why dont they make the teachers wear it?.
Also,the white teachers hate muslims and if there is something going on,they always take the white students side,for example if a white student is caught vaping or anything similar they only get isolation or a simple detention,they dont even get searched,but if a muslim student does anything similar they get kicked out of school.Also when.there is fights the brown.students always get kicked out whilst the white students only get detention or suspension.
Bullying is also a huge issue here,students are so rude and even go far as too cyberbullying other students and making their lives a wreck. The teachers only like the talkative and loud kids but dont even notice the shy and quiet kids,also if you're shy and a 'goody too shoes' you will most definitely get bullied here as the students who think.they are cool like to make shy kids lifes a nightmare,like is it our fault that we have social anxiety?. And if you try reporting the bullying to the teachers they dont absolutely nothing about it , they even go far as too taking the bullys side in most cases, as a student here i have experienced this case happen several times and it really,hurts that the teachers only care about money and not the childrens wellbeing.
Also,the only rewards you will get are rubber's and pencils if you're lucky.
And also in,form they try to make it about mental wellbeing but when a student has anxiety,they are like you will get over it'. Also they made this new rule that you have to bring planners in every morning and if you don't have it or forget it it is a straight after school detention,also if you arrive 0.1 second late they give u after school detention for a hour which is ridiculous because students are already depressed in being here, why would they want to spend more hours in this crap.
I really have a lot more to say,but this is the main issues going onI
I only have one last thing to say,
please don't send you're child here if you dont want them to spend years of their lives in therapy.

they need to do better
all they care about is grades and work. nothing else. they preach about mental health and work-life balance but can’t seem to provide us with any trips or fun events, such as cultural days. but it seems that every other school in the country does these things. even batley grammar just down the road, who by the way host their prom in a fancy hotel in leeds while batley girls does theirs in oakwell hall! just lavish!! the learning is good though and most of the teachers are okay but there’s a few like the ginger teacher and the student services staff who think it’s okay to treat students like dirt, but we’re human too! i feel like previous year 11s got so much better treatment and we get nothing. they need to do better. why can’t they provide us with the opportunities that other schools get, it’s not fair. their rules are overly extra as well, they punish you for things that are out of control. don’t bother sending your child to school if the coach is late because that’s a same day after school detention! they are also very strict on going to the toilet. i know several girls who have had accidents because they weren’t allowed to go, the toilets get locked as well which is really stupid. however, they are very lenient with the uniform policy compared to other schools though, which is a plus. it’s helped me since i have a nose piercing. they get good grades mostly as well, but they put down students a lot by convincing them they can’t do higher, especially in maths. they also provided the entire school with free hoodies which i really appreciate but they need to do better because i feel like they don’t consider us enough, especially since it’s our last year and most of year 11 is already struggling enough, we deserve more privileges.
shit.
the teachers do not actually care about the students, they only care about grades. They dont focus on the arts much at all even though its meant to be an arts school,and their SENCO team/accomadations are bad. Constantly led on and it led me to actually become suicidal and get on suicide watch, which they also dealt with horribly. worst expirience.

I attended Batley Girls’ High School from 2016 to 2023. But in my two years of sixth form, I noticed some disturbing things. White students were consistently favoured and privileged in a way that was hard to ignore. Teachers actively encouraged this, bringing their own personal biases and prejudices into the school. The racism I witnessed was vile and should never be tolerated in any environment. It was horrendous to see some students treated differently based on their appearance, and at times, teachers even seemed to treat students differently based on whether they found them “pretty.”
Personally, my main issue was being discriminated against because of my social anxiety. A teacher I thought I could trust made the situation worse by manipulating me and gaslighting me, claiming that it was only my “perception” of the issue when I had reported the incidents which took place. I felt unsafe in that environment, leading to multiple panic attacks. Also a lack of support from the school due to low staff members and not being able to provide solutions when problem solving should be a skill of a teacher anyway. At the time the former headteacher was replaced by an executive headteacher who was in fact racist, however not towards me personally. The students weren't treated equally in my opinion and again due to the fact that teachers only valued you for how you fit into their ideal perception of a student. Too much focus on academia rather than a child's individuality and unique personalities. And to be honest they quite frankly could not care less if you failed and I bet this still rings true.
Grateful I've not stepped foot into that wretched building for almost two years.
