Rough school! Honestly the kids who go to Ellowes aren't brought up right with their rude attitudes. Every day, I go home with my family upper gornal and I see kids from Ellowes swearing at eachother, fighting, pranking citizens and the way some of the girls come out in such short skirts.
Ik someone who's daughter goes to Ellowes and is a good kid so not all of the kids who go there are bad but the majority seem to have a god attitude complex; one time we were driving home and a girl lifted her skirt up at us and...
Anyways, they were crossing the road when they weren't supposed to go and we were driving not even speeding and one boy from there school called us stupid fing idiots. How disrespectful! Its like this school are that dopey and don't realise what people are wearing, doing and saying that they need to enlarge rules and teach them road safety lessons!
Don't even think of sending your kids here just in general apart from if its the only place you can get into, bc ik from experience not many people who go to ellowes turn out as good as dormston or high arcal. In fact, I went to High Arcal with my siblings and my mum as a grammar school and we got perfect results and is now Beacon Hill where my daughter goes and people seem to stereotype that place but it's the highest one in sedgley and gornal so either consider: kford, crestwood, worsley, redhill, kinver, dormston or beacon etc.
Good school, though there are a handful of mean teachers, the French Department and the Assistant Head (who teaches geography) are very nice, toilets are good
The school closes with your learning needs and MOST of the teachers are nice. You do many subjects that other schools don't do like Food, Drama and Dance. They also have a swimming pool
Ellowes hall got no respect for the kids that are being bullied
Taken my daughter out this term
Many times I rang last term through bullying .thought been sorted till I found out more last week .
My grandaughter has been away from school for 5 months and was agreed to taker her back this morning at 9.15. She was there and greeted by a teacher who swore. Taken to a class and gold to paint by numbers. She wanted to do art/science/and other scholarly subjects but denied. Why???? The she was out in was for children who will not learn.

What us the matter with education systems??
the school is absolutely rubbish when helping with a child's poor mental health, I struggle with severe anxiety, and the most they did for me was let me sit with a teacher. teachers have no respect for the pupils whatsoever and will speak to them how their mates would, which is unprofessional.
To be straightforward, the school is full of unintelligent pupils: mostly thanks to teachers who have no idea what they're doing. The code of conduct is never enforced, meaning most classes are loud and impossible to learn in.
Even the staff in management are completely negligent; almost any complaint will be left unresolved. The school is full of cameras and yet none of the students are monitored.
I was so far behind in my classes but had no assistance in catching up - simply being left to give up - I stopped doing homework indefinitely, and without consequence.
Basically if you couldn't give a hoot less about educating your child then I recommend throwing them into this cesspool. On the bright side maybe they'll learn to smoke or get pregnant at 16.
Used to be great, suddenly dive-bombed when ** ****** took over. Teachers are too lenient when disciplining people and don’t take action to ensure learning isn’t disrupted - as it often was. Far too much focus on students who were doing well, rather than the students who were falling behind. By no means should Ellowes market itself as a ‘sports college’, simply having a sports hall should not qualify it as one, considering the extent of boys sports was football, cross country and handball. School also needs desperate renovations.
