An Indictment of Modern Britain
I have cvhs
Makes me not want to come in, I don't learn anything and they don't help with my dyslexia and its not safe
As a student i wish i went to a different school
I do not like school at all it has given me many mental health problems and not helped with my trauma that i began with it made everything worse i got a late mark for not telling the reason i was waiting to see well-being and many students are horrible to each other and teachers don’t listen
Very upsetting
Wank school teachers are horrible to students please save your children from this misery of a school I am haunted by the things I have seen in this establishment ov a hellhole
Cvhs review
The teachers were fantastic, supportive and great with helping me achieve the best grades. The environment is friendly and lessons are engaging
Great teachers
Loved it
The school offered many activities and opportunities. Our sports days and rewards were fun. We were invited to many spotlight sessions where professionals would talk to us about their careers, this gave insite into jobs that were available to us in the future.
The rules were effective but at times seemed unnecessary for example very strict on toilet usage.
Overall I really enjoyed my time at colne valley and felt that it allowed me to reach my full potential.

Year 7 and 8 weren’t great but year 10 and 11 cancel it out. The teachers were friendly and supportive and I saw a lot of improvement in the school during the time I was there. The brownies were amazing.
COVID-19 COLNE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL
We wear masks but that is all. No restrictions in the corridors, cafeteria or outside. Everyone is in groups of 6+ and it is not safe. The school tells us not to post on social media about the cases in our school as we’ve had a lot.
Rubbish Shcool
Its completly unsafe no covid awareness and theres no teaching going on just suplly teachers

He was old school. He fought the bullshit to try and deliver a real education in a crap school. He cared about what matters: curiosity, discovery and learning for the sake of it.
I’m not blaming the new ‘Principal’; she, like us all, is a product of her environment. She’s all about the KPIs, the grades, the inspections; you can see it in her dead, corporate eyes.
She cares about the optics, like everyone else in crumbling Britain.
But real education – real learning – is not visible to clipboard wielding zombies. You can’t measure it like that.
It takes a real human to see it. It’s not there in the exam halls; it’s there in the libraries, where inspired kids are curious to find stuff out for themselves. It’s there in the classroom, where they learn the rewards of that curiosity.
For too long, schools have churned out A* consumers and white collar workers. And for what? The economy is still screwed.
Like love, art and happiness, learning happens when you don’t try too hard – when you don’t measure too much. It takes passion, freedom and a touch of genius to spark learning.
Colne Valley doesn’t deserve this review; it’s just a cog in the machine. But those kids don’t deserve Colne Valley, where they’ll learn to be the same.
