I am a teacher at the establishment and I have had multiple occasions where I have been verbally abused about my weight from other staff and the children and parents are held responsible for our own actions and mistakes.
I hope the school makes some drastic changes as it is in need of desperate improvement for the safety of students and encouragement to do more activities.
I definitely do not recommend you send your children to this school as it is not a safe or effectively educational environment for your children to stay on a daily basis.
This school covers up so much and does not take accountability for its actions.
It’s run like a military camp with miserable staff and a large turnaround of staff.
They blame parents and children over their own actions and would never admit there is bullying. The classes are small cramped dark and dingy not very inviting at all.
Not impressed and poorly run in my opinion
When I went to this school it was some of the best years of my life. The teachers were wonderful and the school felt like a family. Some things were wrong with it such as lack of equipment, poor equipment, bad school dinners and not the best support team but I did love my time there. I came out with great SATs grades and I openly encourage anyone to send their children to Burraton.
The headteacher is crazy.
The building hasn't had much done to it since the 1980s.
None of the newer teachers stay longer than a year at this point.
Bullying is handled very poorly.
The school dinners are worse than literal dog food. Speaking of which, I'd rather eat than ever having to eat that Wednesday "roast dinner" once again.
