I hate it at Coloma
I hate it here it's horrible the food is bad and they don't help u when ur hurt
WORST SCHOOL EVER
School is horrible keep kids out side and refused them getting on the bus horrible school.made kids stay outside in the rain and we’re smiling with umbrellas.Rules are unfair. Says teachers are more important than kids apparently. Child was sent out of class for drinking water ridiculous school.gives child detention for being pushed out line.banned from not using the toilets during class rarely clean them any way. Food is atrocious fous eggshells in muffin.Let older years on the bus but not the year 7s. Parking student for no reason. Lack of teachers showing up. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IT IS HELL.
bad school i ever gone too
THIS SCHOOL DOESNT HELP CHILDREN AT ALL ONE TIME A TEACHER SWORE AT ONE OF THE STUDENTS THE HEAD DID NOTHING ABOUT IT
Coloma hasn’t changed since the 80s
It’s so strange reading these reviews. I was a pupil at Coloma back in the 1980s and it sounds like nothing has changed. Back then bullying from teachers and fellow pupils was rife and left unchecked. Personal problems were not to be discussed and so you could have a breakdown and nobody would even notice. No adequate classroom buildings or text books- just made to write dictated notes. Really poor teaching standards. I was written off academically aged 11 and told I was stupid. Turns out I was academically gifted and went on to get an MA and PhD. I’m now a top academic author and researcher. So don’t worry if you’ve had a bad experience there. They put my learning back at least a decade. Their policy on confiscating mobiles today is just another educational failure to acknowledge how students learn in the 21st century. Certainly not going to produce STEM leaders or the coders of the future. Find a progressive school to prepare girls for the real world (my PhD is in education so I know what I’m talking about).
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
Coloma is so Horrible. I am currently being horrified by the continuous abuse, fighting and social media harassment that has been going on. If the the school can not control the children then I am taking my daughter out
PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER
Ok. Kids suck. Staff sucks some don’t. Red head(if u know u know) is a sub she is racist and swears. A girl came to school with a KNIFE. I FOUND RAZORS IN THE BATHROOM. which looks like hell. They will search your child if they don’t hand in their phone. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
DONT COME HERE
Horrible don't come here. Run away fast !!!
The teachers are rude and rasist.The English teacher That teaches me swore at the whole class.
KINVES
it is not a safe school. girls are coming to school with knives in their backpacks. the last accident at the school premises was swept under the carpet on the day it happened. my daughter was in shock, and stressed and when I called the school the minute I read the message about what happened I was advised that my daughter is completely fine and is nothing to worry about.
oh! well. she wasn't at all. from the moment the accident took place she was constantly crying and wanted to go home the moment when she realised the parents of the other girls who witnessed the accident, coming and picking up their distressed daughters.
I was reassured by the receptionist that everything is well with my daughter and she is perfectly fine. I regret with all my heart I chose this school for my daughter

It was quite mediocre
This school has had 3 different headteachers throughout my school life and the standards decrease every time. Many of the teachers are kind and supportive, willing to do anything to help yet the management is quite poor. There is a HUGE lack of communication between all staff and students and hasn’t been improved as they use multiple platforms all at once (Teachers2parents, EduLink One and e-mail). That is very unnecessary.
Also, I don’t even know how people learn through the classrooms they put you in. It is disgusting. I’m surprised there has been little action taking place.

A complete disappointment.
I put my daughter into Coloma with high hopes. But sadly, she has turned out to be someone with bruised confidence and low self-esteem. During her first two years, she didn't say much about the school but later we realised that the students were segregated. It is not done obviously but in a stealthy manner. Some classes are predominantly blacks and those from other ethnic minority background.
I feel that students from different ethnic backgrounds must be allowed to mingle and interact freely.
Besides, my daughter told me that some students take drugs in the school and get into physical fight. I'm taking my daughter out of the school this year.
The school only cares about its outward image, and it's all external 'cosmetics' to present a fake image that it is a great school. The teaching isn't great and the pastoral care is largely indifferent to the needs of the students.
