AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Awful school. The only thing that makes it good is some good teachers but they’re all leaving because it’s so bad. They blame the constant lack of equipment, and breaking classrooms on the fact students keep breaking things but surely the students behaviour is their fault. SLT want us to treat them like Gods and think the school is amazing but every other teacher seems to disagree. Don’t come here if you want to do anything creative. They don’t fund music, art, dance or drama - it’s only the incredible teachers in those subjects that make school concerts and shows happen. Also you have to do either French or Spanish GCSE (and don’t get a choice) and either Geography or history. The only way I’ve actually learnt things in most of my subjects is through working hard at home not from lessons. There’s a constant lack of teachers and supplies don’t appear to know what they’re doing. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The worst school ever.

Devizes school is a PRISON! If you willingly send your child here your insane at Devizes I received hateful and spiteful things verbally said to me by teachers and students the support system is terrible and you could tell the “hub” which is where you go for support and once you had left the staff will gossip and joke about your situation. It’s disgusting most toilets don’t lock and myself and other students have witnessed toilets being opened on students many times this had been reported with nothing happening this school allows bullying and teaches students to just put up with it. Honestly do not send your child here

Devizes school reviews

hello so I am currently a student not saying what year what my name is or anything, but the school has gone down hill massively, teachers have become very rude, some teachers are actually nice and that I can trust them. Some on the other hand speak to you in a bad way and then expect you to give them respect no matter how they speak to you. Respect is earned and no matter what you have to give them respect because there the adults.. soon we won’t even be able to go to the toilet because there is a wall blocking the toilets in A block which will soon be locked if behaviour continues and lots of student leave lesson to go to the toilet. If a girl is/has just started there time of the month they can’t go to the toilet because they are just going to be locked. The only one that will be open for males is D block, they moan about students missing education because they are leaving the lesson to go to the toilet which is actually a human right but now if your in B block you have to walk to the other side of the school which will cause the student to miss even more learning.

Would give no stars if I could

Awful school. Nothing but a horrible experience since my daughter started there - they do not care about students needs

Worst years of my life.

Mental health had never been worse, especially during gcse-- far far too much pressure put on everyone. The environment is horrible and breeds insecurity. Only now I'm out of there have I made real progress in combating my anxiety and my depression is pretty much gone.

Devizes school

Devizes school is a terrible school. It is bad at managing with peoples needs and dealing with problems. At Devizes school it is a one protocol suits all policy.

Pretty avarage.

I don’t feel like I learn much there. People in my year smoke in school and many of the buildings look like they are falling apart. There’s a few good teachers though.

AWFUL

Absolutely rank, incredibly dirty. Staff STILL not cleaning desks in the middle of a pandemic. PE bibs have literal mould on and are never washed. Let alone the teachers being to strict, they have favourites and accuse children of things all the time which has an impact on there mental health and well-being. This DISGUSTS me.they set FAR too much homework and put much too pressure on the children. Special shout-out to miss Luscombe the only good teacher in that school

don’t recommend

teachers pick favourites, and they make it obvious. they don’t care if youre having issues with learning, all you get it “give it a shot then i’ll help you” like i can’t give it a go if i don’t know what i’m doing

Not great

Cracks in walls everywhere, just get covered by posters, it's evident that desks aren't cleaned often which is bad enough during corona. Teaching quality ranges but the majority of teachers give the impression that they don't know what they are doing. The way that they deal with SEN students is pretty bad. One time the head of year 10 made fun of a girls tourettes and then denied it. I hear other students use racist and homophobic micro-agrressions daily. Unfortunately this is the state of mist public schools so 🤷
