AWFUL.

This school is awful. They never let you in student services when you actually need it and they sometimes make people answer questions they don't know in front of the whole class which is really frightening. Not to mention that it's the only school in town where girls are REQUIRED to wear ties. Awful

Homework, Uniforms, Bullying, School dinners

The school itself isn't so bad but they really need to work on reducing the amount of homework they give the students and how hard it is. Of course you're supposed to give an hour of homework but when it's questions that you have to read over frequently to remember it's no doubt going to be a lot more than an hour. Another thing is the uniform. Most of it is fine but why should girls have to wear ties? In Academy the girls don't have to wear ties unless they want to and it's just an extra thing to stress about when it's not needed. It's just plain annoying. The bullying in the school is ridiculous. Unless you actually go tell the teacher yourself you're being bullied then nothing will be done about it, not much actually happens if you do tell a teacher either. Another thing is the rule that you can't pay for the school dinners in cash, it's just a hassle that there's no need for.

I'm a student at this school, in year 10, and this is what I think.

Hi, I am a year 10 female and I would like to point out the fact that I love going to school...its just the people in there that make it unbearable.

I have had numerous problems with the teachers at my school and this mostly includes the Geography and Language teachers. They constantly put their students down and I agree that kids can be a pain and inappropriately but you should never put a child down. As you never know what they are going through or if they have a mental illness that could effect the student in a certain way. That comment they had made could have put them in a terrible situation with themselves or their legal guardians.

This is part of the comment mostly for the language teachers. The last time I had a French class was last year, and I am so happy that I don't have to do them anymore but that's not what I'm talking about. It's the way they always favour certain students.

For example, my last French teacher favoured the students that never did their work and always disrupted the lessons to the point were the students who wanted to work couldn't because they were to busy talking overly loud to the teacher. Yet, as soon as a student asked something to do with work to another student the teacher decided to tell them off for not doing work. WHILE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS ABOUT HER CAR. I'm sorry but I find it completely unfair and fail to understand the common sense there.

I will not be commenting on the Geography teachers but I will comment on a science teacher.

This certain physics teacher finds if funny to bully her students. Idont know if she does it with all of her classes but out of all students in my class she likes to bully me the most.

She constantly likes to point out that my short, shoulder length hair is not in a bobble, yet, when 5 chavs come in with their hair down she spares no mind through out the lesson. Once, I went into the lesson without a bobble because all the other teachers didn't give me one (because my hair is shoulder length) and she asked if I have a bobble and I said no. She asked if I needed one and I said yes. Mind you I said it in the same tone she did and was stood very close to her on her left side so there is no way she didn't hear me, even the person I sit next to and everyone around them heard me say yes. Yet she still didn't give me a bobble. I stood there for ten whole seconds waiting but she didn't give me one so I sat down (I sit on the front row, right in front of her, to her left. As other girls walked in she didn't even give them a second glance and let them walk right in and sit down with their hair down but asked only me to put it up. Again i have shoulder length hair, I can not put it up but when a teacher askes me to I try to anyway even thought it just ends up falling out within seconds. So it's almost the end of the class and she says "Notice how I haven't told you girls to put your hair up", talking to the girls that came in later on "it's because miss name (I'm not putting my name) has decided not to put her's up so it is only fair because I'm a nice teacher and like to bully my students." Thay last part is honestly what she had said I'm not making that up for a joke. She constantly does things like this meaning she calls me personally out any chance she gets even when I'm not doing anything wrong.
She also rushes the lesson way too fast and expects us to have a whole PowerPoint written down in the matter of 5 seconds (not an exaggeration me and the person I sit next to counted every slide she went on as we were writing and they were 5 seconds each to write down 3 paragraphs and we are both really slow writers) and doesn't give us a chance to go back and write the rest down. She honestly gets on my nerves so much and overall she just can't teach in my opinion.

These are just some examples of why I don't like the teachers at this school. And if i had a choice out of all of the schools in the Port I would either go to the C of E collage or be home schooled.

Thank you for reading my review.

School.

Terrible

The school have left the most terrible mark on the education of my children. They are totaly uninterested in the children's needs and prepared to lie to make there school seem better than what it is. Bullying is totally ignored and the school it's a waste of any child's education. My children's safety has been at risk well attending this school. Basic needs like being able to use the toilet has even been an issue.Think twice before allowing your child into this corrupt school.

Its okay

Its not the worst school going its just i think they need to focus on mental health issues a bit more than they do because i know so many people who really struggle.. some teachers are absolutely amazing and make school actually enjoyable. Supply teachers and lack of teachers sometimes is a big issue..

What the description says

A lot could change,a lot of bullying happens and it’s just ignored by the teachers,they set so much more work than needed sometimes and when students say that they are/have been stressed that’s why they haven’t done some work the teachers just say “I’m here if you need to talk” but they don’t understand the stress when we are in a global pandemic that it isn’t easy to stay motivated.

Not the best school a lot could change

I get the teachers are busy but when it’s a cold day and seats are wet some years always have somewhere to sit but a lot of the time it’s freezing and you ask a teacher where you can go and they have no idea and the head of years are always busy or there’s never someone on duty so u can go in the hall and keep an eye on you . Also people are really horrible and bully and teachers barely do anything and there’s to much homework and it’s stressful and the teachers always just concentrate on the naughty kids and if they say anything to you like I got told to kill myself they don’t care just because they have adhd or a mental disorder it doesn’t mean they have the right to be a horrible person and bully people also all the popular people say stuff to you and give you dirty looks but nothing happens and they get treated better . Also you have to be at the gates bye 8:40 I got there at 8:41 and got classed as late and had my name written down even though I was literally a minute late and got a detention even though even if you get to school on time it takes about 3 minutes to get to the gate to walk there and sometimes there’s traffic or bin men vans in the way but they still class you as late a bit stupid and schools just not enjoyable you just wake up worrying about time and being bullied and told to die and being sat in the cold trying to eat and homework

not whats needed in a school

a lot of bullying happens around school and it is ignored by teachers... if a student is struggling, teachers tend to ignore them and focus on classmates who are disruptive and it’s just not fair to people who want to work hard and feel proud of themselves but they can’t because teachers don’t pay attention to quieter kids but yet they complain when you don’t ask for help... there has also been multiple threats of school shootings as well so yeah.

It’s what the description says

BORING, honestly it’s just the same thing time and time again I have a trans freind and people are bullying her and we have gone to the teachers but they haven’t done anything so much for not bullying in a CATHOLIC school we’re kids should have already been taught to be respectful of others believes and some teachers can’t even control their students and its appalling











Some teachers are great though:)
