Cardinal Allen Catholic High School, Fleetwood

This school is honestly the worst. The teachers care more about your appearance than your education! People get excluded for having nose piercings (don’t see how it’s distracting) when many teachers have nose piercings. You have to have a natural hair colour or you could get excluded! You are only allowed one plain gold or silver stud in each ear but has to be your first piercing. Most of the teachers are hypocrites, all the rules they have most of the teachers break anyway! With the boys you aren’t allowed extremely short hair or long hair so they are very limited how they have it!
Mental health in school they don’t care about, they won’t do anything about it.
If your ill they don’t send you home, they make you go back to lessons!
The only rule I get is your not allowed acrylics especially when you have pe!
Another stupid rule is that if you role your skirt up to many times then the school will force you to wear pants!
However some of the teachers are nice and show a good side to the school!
Behaviour: the school don’t care about behaviour, if your naughty then you’ll get out on inclusion or isolation and if that doesn’t change you, you will be excluded. Most people see exclusion as a reward as they get out of school for however long!
Honestly, if I was you I wouldn’t send your child here unless they have a chance of getting good exam results when they finish
After school clubs: there are a variety of after school clubs but they are only really aimed at low achievers who have no chance at passing exams or those who are sporty! The only chance you have at getting a good education is if you have one of the very few decent teachers

It's a good school, for education and learning, but it is not good for individuality, no hair dye at all, boys aren't allowed to have long hair even though girls are. If someone wants to wear makeup to give them confidence, even not alot, (like they could put a limit on it) not allowed, only allowed if a teacher tells you your skin is bad enough to have makeup! At an age where we struggle the most socially and want to start to understand our style and find ways to make ourselves feel more confident, we are prevented. Of course I understand the importance of a uniform policy, but this strict, makes us feel like the school doesn't care about how we feel but how they just want to appear. But that's another thing, not once have I felt like the school wants me to be happy, to enjoy my high school experience, all I feel is that they want the best scores in the area, not so that we can have a better future, but so that they can brag about having the best scores to other people. And with this comes homework. The head teacher of every school can decide on how much homework is set for each year group. It is recommended that homework takes no more then 3 hours a night (the maximum) and still I spend way more then that a night, the teachers set too much work even if on paper it's supposed to take 3 hours this does not happen and even though people have complained time and time again about spending so much time on the homework set at home instead of relaxing and spending time doing hobbies. Quite often I am set so much homework I don't even have time to revise.
In conclusion this school is good if you want to succeed in your grades, and enjoy extra curricular activities such as eco, however if you want to enjoy your time at this school I do not recommend.
