Bad school
All together a bad school to send your kids
Terrible
The Deputy head said something to my child but denied saying it to the extreme she was accusing us of making out the school tells lies, eventually she put in writing after an investigation that she did say it, I took it to the board of governors who did nothing about it, said she acted accordingly.
Another issue was the school had claimed we had numerous meetings about my child as they had ticked a box, it took 9 months of emails asking for proof, eventually I had to submit a freedom of information request to get the information and surprise these meetings as I was telling them never happened had not happened, and the result of all this challenging the school was to punish the parent by restricting my access to the school, they do not like to be challenged or proved wrong.

Not the best
The lessons are boring and corridors are crowded but don't care or change behaviors knowing I'm LGBTQ
problems
at baysgarth school. the academic and sporting side of the school are to a high standard. however magotity if students find it difficult to understand why they place such significant and harsh rules. such as… “coats inside means detention” however no students have anywhere to place their coats at the start of the day. and most students bring a bag and a pe kit magority of the week. so they don’t want to be carrying around their coat into o of that so it’s easier to wear it. another rule I find unnecessary… no cycling shorts, hoodies with a hood, grey leggings or shorts for pe. now I get it’s part of the uniform. but in my op and the magority of the female students attending baysgarth. feel the no cycling sorts rule is unnecessary. i do get why they don’t want cycling shorts as some shorts are considered inappropriate. But as the weather temperatures start to increase. a lot of female students will want to wear shorts. the shorts the school website provide are not available for some price ranges. and also each and every female students body is different. And yes you can alter sizes. but some students may be struggling to find a pair of shorts that fit that fit appropriately and comfortably.
my experience
Well, the school is just shit. Didn’t deal with bullying at all. The bulling I went though didn’t get sorted at all and because of that I left after year 9. The drama teachers and English teachers are nice tho.
lovely school
it's a really good school, all the staff work together to make everything inclusive for everyone. have eventful ways to give out prizes for attendance I think this is a really good way to gat more people to come into school and learn more.
Good But Problematic
The school and learning side is extremely amazing, however the students really let it down. Bullying is extremely common and fights happen almost every week. They provide no emotional help or support near exams and it’s very hard to find a teacher you trust, especially for mental health assistance. They also did not handle the pandemic well as students have had to isolate 3+ times since reopening in April. Crammed corridors and bullying are the worse aspects.
Alright
it’s alright, not handling covid that well had to self isolate 3 times not blaming the school though anyways most teachers are lovely and some people are nice mostly focus on grades not the students
Baysgarth
Corridors are small and everyone is still mixing
Very Well Handled and Supportive.
school handled the Pandemic very well gave lots of support to Students and students who have just started year 7. They have been very clear on the Social Distancing and aim to make sure each of them get the best out of their education.
Amazing
It’s a really good school but the teachers and bullying let it down.
