Happy mum

I'm a parent of a "difficult" boy. I have to admit he is a really troublemaker. I do like how the school tries to manage and change his behaviour. They created a plan for my son to change his point of view and enjoy school at least a little better.
Very strict with uniform policy which is good as new generation needs to learn responsible

Not recommended

Whilst quite a lot of the teachers are good, the head is dreadful. When it's rotten at the top I'm afraid that permeates throughout.

Just how we're feeling

I have had 4 children and 3 grandchildren at gosford.
.Has to pull 2 if my kids out and find college for them .Pulled my granddaughter out too. You're biggest problem is that you have teachers that bully.(Goldring ).particularly little girls.Every mum I speak to knows his name .People are actually scared of the schools now..So many are struggling to get their kids to school and then are scared of comeback from social services if they don't..Haven't spoken to many local kids that don't HAtE.gosford recently.They just go to keep trying or keep their parents from stress

Concerned

Staff need to be respectfully of children's emotions..There is a lot of prying into home lives etc. right now it's hurtful to children KIds are actually feeling that they have to protect they're parents from the school now.Is there something really wrong with that

absolute bullsh*t

i'm they/them btw but when im referring to girls, i also experienced what they did.
this school is absolutely bullsh*t.
(1) i went though so much mental health problems and what did the school do to help? absolutely nothing. they complained that my grades were slipping and i tired to explain it was because of my mental health but they weren't having it and gave me sh*t about it.
(2) all they care about really are if the girls are dressed appropriately, however during PE they're made to wear tiny little shorts, which made me so uncomfortable that i got my parents to have a meeting in which we decided that i would sit of in PE.
(3) they're not allowed to show their ankles or shoulders because it may distract the boys OR TEACHERS! if your teachers are getting distracted by TEENAGE GIRLS SHOULDERS OR ANKLES THEY SHOULDN'T BE WORKING IN A SCHOOL!
(4) the headteacher is more concerned with what the students look like rather than the academic results. screw you Mr S
(5) they don't take bullying seriously, the amount of times i've walked straight out of school because of bullying is insane. screw you Miss D
(6) they're terrible at helping students with their motivation for the future, they don't help you to figure anything out at all. i was left to figure it out all by myself and now i'm stuck between things.
(7) i once heard a teacher say to her student "you're going to do terribly/fail this exam" screw you Ms D
(8) and just like every english teacher in the UK, mine decided that it would be perfectly fine to say the N-word simply because it was written in Of Mine And Men, screw your Mr L.
(9)this may just be a rumour but apparently in the canteen, the beef sauce you can put on the pasta is actually horse? i don't know if that's true but i've heard a few things about it

i finished secondary school around a year and a half ago and everything that happened there still affects me to this day, i'd never send my children to this school, i'd rather them be homeschooled by my dumbas* than go there

that it, rant over, hope you enjoyed :)

the school is dumb

all teachers care about is if girls are dressed 'appropriately' they don't care about anything else
