Bottisham Village College

I go to this school and it is horrible there are so many idiotic rules that are there to teach control from a young age such as Not allowing students to dye there hair un natural colours makes no sense. What is it going to do to you if I where to have blue hair it doesn't effect learning and it is a way for people to express who they are. Also people getting in trouble for having buzzed hair I have see and heard of this happening it is just utterly stupid giving a child punishment for them expressing themselves and trying new things. Another point I have is not allowing more that one ear piercing on each ear in the loab and no other piercings is understandable because it could be dangerous if doing physical activities but if students take them out on days they have these or make sure there piercings are not a danger I see no reason to scold them for having them. The school restricts there students from expressing themselves by using the exuse of bullying yet when bullying occurs they do hardly anything. In my time at this school I have had friends be Bullied for disabilities and nothing being done and also for there sexuality or gender identity whitch the school trys to make it seem they care so much about. My last point is that they do not care about basic human rights. They refuse students to use the toilet during lesson stating "you should have gone at break" or "lunch is soon" it idiotic. People have most likely been drinking water during the day so at some point they will need to go to the toilet and its not like they can control when they need to go and even if they tryed to go to the toilet during break or lunch half or them are destroyed or utterly revolting or there are to many people just there. If anyone is looking to send there child there don't i have hated every minute there except for the time I have spent with my friends. Please do yourself a favor and don't send your child here its a restricting school that is utterly horrible

loads of unprofessional teachers no mental heath care i found 2 packets of cigarettes a vodka bottle and an old vape do not recommend

If you are muslim i wouldn’t recommend this school as they lie about islam quite a lot and spread the wrong message, also they are very islamaphobic when talking about our religion during PSHE.

It is a alright school if you don’t suffer with mental health issues.

Everyone I know who went to the wellbeing there was told they would have their parents called to arrange weekly visits to make sure they dont kill themselves or whatever. None of us got any of that and we just had to wing it. ?

1. Was forced to look at a wall for a bad score on a french test. They language department don't care about you and your progress just how they are being portrayed by your scores. 2. Covid.. They did not handle the situation well at all with nearly whole year groups self isolating it's pathetic
