Went to this school all throughout primary and was time and time again targeted by staff for having additional needs, bullying (which we had communicated to the school) was completely ignored and even after we told them they continued to believe the girl who was bullying me (had bullied me from year 4 - year 6), did absolutely nothing about blatant racism and sexism towards not just minorities but also non minorities but then told people they were being “heightist”, purposefully would mention things that would make me (a child with severe social anxiety which they knew of) stand out so I wouldn’t be able to take part in things, had a member of staff imitate me in a baby voice when i was having a panic attack and crying begging her to call my mother, had several instances where i felt unwell and they would claim to call reception to call my mum but would just stand outside without making any calls, i had a very bad panic attack one day where i went into the toilet in maths (first lesson after break) and stayed in there until the end of the day and had the headteacher get a ladder and look into the stall (there was no need for it, she couldn’t have gotten in the stall to get me nor reach the lock to allow herself in it was purely to intimidate me, was called racist (as a ten year old) for simply pointing out that someone had darker skin then me (a girl from the exact same place with the same skin colour agreed that i was not racist) but nothing was done about the boys that screamed the n word in the playground every single day despite it being in ear shot of the teachers, went through a very long period of time where every single day i physically would not be able to go into the doors because of the anxiety this caused me, i had a teacher (in year 5) call me out of class every day until i admitted to saying something i didn’t say and had been made up by the girl that they were aware was actively bullying me (they did nothing to prevent it throughout the whole time i went to that school), i then proceeded to get in trouble for saying said things (i didnt say them.), a girl (who was friends with my literal bully, they knew this) continued to do something that upset me over and over again in several instances, i admit i was in the wrong for this but i apologized profusely, slapped the girl (keep in mind i was nine and although unaware of it was neurodivergent) i was called in and apologized but they (again knowing i had SEVERE social anxiety) had a year six (i was in year 5) come in and give me a very very very long speech about how what i did was wrong, they did this again when i was forced to ‘admit’ to saying something i didn’t say. My ‘admitting’ was me saying “i’m sorry if i did say something but i don’t remember saying anything”. Keep in mind the girl who had been bullying me was sat next to me during when we moved seats. They had been aware of this girls bullying since year 4. Within the instance where i was wrongly accused of saying things i hadn't said i was told and immediately threatened with CCTV being checked on me, also i am 99% sure that there were cameras in the lights of the bathrooms, which went lent into the stalls, the green beeping lights which i assume were cameras where in the sides that peeked into the stalls. There was also a girl who wasn’t at the time but is now a friend of mine who in the year 6 play had the song with the girls voice played over hers because the teacher i had (she wasn’t in my class) said that it would ‘ruin the play’ she sang the last song, which was half a duet with other classmates. I’m going into year eight, all of these staff are still hired at the school (minus my year 5 teacher although she doesn’t hold much relevance because all actions were heavily supported and influenced my current staff). So these are recent staff.
Teachers have no care for students mental health and if a student is crying will leave them to cry and leave them out of things because they have panic attacks. Obviously have favourites and ignore reports of bullying by parents.
Do not send your children here. The head teacher acts more like a student, she literally wears school uniform while ignoring parents emails and calls. Miss Collin acts like her job is head teacher when she's just a attendance officer who's totally incapable of any job other than sending out letter to parents telling them off for Thier child having a stomach bug and not being in school. They only care for attendance and what they look like, not for Thier pupils and least of all for Thier pupils wellbeing, education or mental health. The playground is full of posters telling children they're not even aloud to have banter in the playground...they do not let kids be kids and they refuse to communicate with parents at all unless it's about attendance.
