bad school
majority of teachers didn’t care for students learning and had bias to certain students. in certain years we weren’t given books we were given paper. teachers would leave and we’d have substitutes for half the year that couldn’t control the class. the teachers focused more on jewellery and hoodies than bullying. certain teachers would neglect individuals if they fell back in class. teachers can be very rude and refuse to listen to the students. food was greasy and often cold. when they were renovating the cafeteria all we were offered were cold hot dogs and pasta. cleaning staff were lovely. nothing to do at lunches but we’d get told off for going on phones. lack of benches outside, an argument between students led to a fight over a bench. a genuine rule was that “banter” is banned.
My school experience
The worse school for your child being disability, I went to this school and they outcast me cause I got autism and learning disability. I would wonder around school skipping classes but the teachers done nothing, failed my exams as they was teaching me nothing. I was feeling very sick one those days I asked them to call my mum but they refused and gave me a cup of water what is that supposed to do?
They do absolutely nothing about bullying as I been bullied through out the years and they done nothing!!!!
I highly recommend don’t bring your child here if they got disability’s as they will treat you badly. The worse school I ever heard of my life, they done nothing for me besides my I.T teacher. They are very useless people and yet again I had a worse experience at this school as they didn’t help me cause I got disability’s and treated me as an outcast

Bring back c system
Certain teachers could support students better.
honesty
not worth going. used to be outstanding and went to the worst ofsted grade and ofsted had to come every 6 weeks. downgraded extremely bad because they ‘can’t afford anything’ but yet can spend over £4 million on a whole new building department??? teachers are the worst with dealing with bullying and just tell you to ‘write a report’ yet nothing will happen from it???? only goodish thing i can say is that they have been okay dealing with the year bubbles during covid-19. with this, there have been over 5 head teachers in the past 5 years (bare in mind that most head teachers last at least 10 years!!) in one year over 30 teachers left due to the school’s poor environment also. there’s so much more i could write about yet so little time. just bare in mind, that the school makes out that it is so much better than it actually is!
Shit food.
Was aight but then they cut down on food quality now it’s shit
Rebuilding
