Bingley Grammar School

This school is horrible for bieng bullied I’m a student at this school and teachers don’t support students verry well at all there are constant fights and little consequences consider B4 sending your children there as they might get bullied. In my school there are constantly people of “I’ll” and not able to come to school due to the severe bullying that we go through with little support from the school. The attitude from teachers not wanting to support students has an effect on us too. consider sending your kids somewhere else as this school needs a lot of work.
You may wonder why ofstead reviews are so “good” this is because we are told to behave differently when they are around so they can never get a true picture of our school.

teacher don’t give one and someone give off bad vibes

School is good though needs a new behaviour policy. last year i was in a horrid class surrounded by people who say horrible things to you for no reason at all, I was disrupted around the whole class screaming, throwing stuff and practically bullied for the entire year, which made me not learn what i needed to learn. Most teachers just sit there and stare at everything going on and then give out “choices” which mean absolutely nothing. Then if the disruptive students get “conversations” or “detentions” they dont care at all, as they already have a messed up classcharts and dont mind staying for an odd 40 mins after school as there only in detention every week anyway, and the uniform policy is ridiculous . I understand to an extent the uniform rules, but the school tells you off for wearing the simplest things. I want to feel comfortable around school and i dont want to be wearing something that makes me feel insecure. They also need more support for year 9 and 10, they need to be getting year 9s into what there going to be getting into for the next 2 years after, because itll all just come to a shock in year 10. and they need to care for the year 10s abit more, getting them fully focused for there mocks as its not just a normal test, Some teachers understand everything about teaching though some teachers i question if there even qualified. They need to separate the bad kids from the ones who actually want to learn, as i dont feel like disruptive students are learning anything. I sound right nerdy right now though you can have a nice laugh at this school but i actually want to get places in life and some people just make it a living hell for you to learn sometimes. School trips also need to happen more regularly, i havent had one school trip throughout my entire school and have only been offered flamingo land, which is unfair as people younger went skiing last year . Food is average though many reports of food poisioning and uncooked food and some food staff are lovely and some are so unfriendly. Toilets are bad though its an old school so fairs , toilet people are nice but can have abit of a shout sometimes but understandable x

Never send ur kids here as they blatantly refuse to do anything about your child’s feelings and down right hate children. This school is an abomination

I mean I’ve been there for 4 years going into my 5th and honestly it’s nothing special and certainly nothing good. I guess the education is ok, but they really rely on you memorising everything in your own time rather than putting effort into teaching you it thoroughly at school. I’ve seen this throughout all my years there and it bothers me so much. They put so much faith into top sets like me especially to be able to plan out our whole school years with revision timetables while managing things people might have at home or other clubs. They give us absolutely no support in revision or exam preparation apart from random practice assessments with questions we have never even practiced before. It’s honestly shocking and made my life a hell of a lot worse. As well, the teachers are useless and just make you feel bad about everything unless you get it perfectly correct. They also have no support or exemptions etc for people who have conditions/disorders where they need help learning or have difficulty concentrating in certain environments. I have autism and I find it physically and emotionally uncomfortable in a classroom full of loud people but if I ask to use headphones and explain why nobody does anything and gets mad at me for asking to do something they’ve said not to. There definitely should be exceptions. Yeah honestly it’s just shocking how they expect every single person in that school to learn in the same way and have the exact same needs as the next student. I’m sure a lot of schools are like this and it needs to stop. My final thing to add which also probably goes for a lot of schools, we are in no way allowed to express ourselves, yet they go screaming out “be yourselves, don’t let anyone stop you”. It’s ridiculous because if I wanted loads of piercings I wouldn’t be allowed because is “disrupts learning” even though I’m just trying to be me. They’re so confusing and I hate it. The only thing damaging my learning is that I’m constantly made aware of how much I dislike the system and how uncomfortable I feel when teachers constantly go on about certain things that make them sound like pedophiles. Thank you

The school is amazing the teachers are rubbish the food is dry the drama department is good tho 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
