    Becarefull when putting your child in this school

    It’s actually time someone told the truth in 2026 about Grace College. The school is rife of bullying. Let’s just say a child was getting bullied over five months that’s a lot of bullying respect to the child he stood his ground and did not back off which it could have been dealt either way in a afternoon 😡 lots of emails lots of phone calls to explain what is going on but they allowed it to keep going on until a assault happened and still till this day bullying is rife and when you confront...

    Do not you send your child to the school

    Parent I would seriously be careful sending your child to the school bullying and racism is absolutely out of control. The teachers are there who completely tolerate it all any other school they would suspend an zero tolerance expel bring parents in for bullying but not Grace College, they trying to keep the incident report down to look great, but believe you me there not great. Absolutely the worst I’ve ever seen. Do not send your kids there amongst scruffs

It's always freezing cold. No freedom of expression at all !! No fake nails No makeup No colour No claw clips No nail polish!? No humanity at all. 1 star because I made some good friends here bur that's basically it!?

    Unfair criticism of parents for no valid reason.

    The school slanders parents in emails and if their child hasnt done their homework, even if its 5 days before its due, they dont just threaten the child with a detention days before homework is due but also criticise parenting. It isnt fair since the homework isnt due for the next few days.

    Horrible school grace college mistreats all the students

    Grace college is one of the worst school ive been to when i was in year 7 it was fun then came year 9 where this ginger prick called mrs hooker came and made stuff strict like it was a military camp had us where certain shoes had us walking in single file like it was again i say a military camp if you were talking a tiny big loud you told to shut up and sometimes get put in her office and she would tell you how you should do this and that like everyone had to act the same or she would say hand over your study file and if there was one piece of scribble that would be straight detention or referal moral of the story is don't send your kids here cos they will treat them like shit and will have no respect for you shit school overall

    DONT GO SAVE YOURSELF..

    Absolutely DREADFUL SCHOOL I’ve been going here years and people in my year group still talk to me as if I’m some sort of animal.. like hello? I’m just here to get my education/ work done. Another reason I’m putting 1* (wish I could put -1* I do not recommend this school AT ALL!!!) id the fact there is literally rats and other stuff (even mould) in the school.. in all my years of being there I’ve seen over 20+ rats, which obviously they haven’t done anything about! (Woohoo u go Mrs hooker!!!..)...

    Grace college is not a good school

    Teachers say they will always believe you and they care about your mental health. I go in just to see teachers having a go at a student for skirts hair and nails and it's always male teachers that are seen stopping you for a skirt which makes people uncomfortable. Some teachers (one specifically) calls students darling and sweetheart knowing it makes them uncomfortable people have moved due to conditions there has been mouldy food uncooked food and more. People get suspended for silly reasons someone I know got suspended for going to the toilet then they tried to say they weren't leaving because it was a stupid reason and the school had them taken home in a police car and handcuffs. Schools says they will let you go to the toilet most times you can go but lessons like after lunch when it's been busy morning when you've walked down and before home time they lock the toilets refusing to let people in and you can get turned away even with a pass. They have also been said to pay to get out of health inspections as they pass every year but there's always sightings of rats in school and at the underpass.

    Don't send ur kid to this school -a student who's been here 4 years

    They do absolutely nothing about bullying, so many of my mates got bullied n the teachers done nowt. If ur thinking about putting your kid in this school, don't do it. They have stupid rules. One of my mates got excluded cause they refused to be searched by an older male teacher.

    zero rating

    If your face fits you will be ok. Both my kids (1went and 1 still) go to this school (4years apart) bullying is still a major issue and despite reporting it to several different members of staff - NOTHING is done!! Death threats, vile texts/messages, spitting, punching, kicking etc still happening on a daily/weekly basis on premises and on scholar bus too/from. Teachers/management just respond - its being dealt with - but will not keep you updated as to how! Some teachers are great and make lessons fun which helps with learning but some just turn up for the pay! They treat kids like their future doesnt matter yet it is us and potentially our kids that are/will pay their wages! Dont leave messages anymore as they arent passed on!! Shocking school. Only plus points are the food available for lunch etc is good with a varied selection and the out of school activites/trips are great (if you can secure a place).

    My school experience so far

    As a student I think it's important that students get along well, however bullying is said to not be tolerated but there is alot that is witnessed by teachers and staff that has not been addressed. Food is sometimes raw and the school has failed to support people in the LGBTQ+ community by removing gender neutral toilets due to complaints by other students despite their being MANY other toilets accessable.

    Horrible school

    This school is absolutely appalling. They do nothing to stop bullying of any kind. I have received death threats so I told a teacher and they said they would "look into it" and saw them laughing as I walked away. This school is too forceful with religion for example someone was given a detention because they did not believe in god. A girl got punched and three teachers saw and were laughing. Some of the male teachers are creeps and are always yelling. I asked one politely to please step back because he was in my personal space and he smiled and said "not a chance". If you have been sexually harrassed they will just say to stay away from the abuser even though the police were involved. Please do not send your children here for the best.

    Shit school

    shittiest school ever. totally failed 2020 year 11s. promised me I would get my predicted grades but only passed me for H&S care and that’s it because my attendance wasn’t the best due to anxiety which they knew about. they let bullying happen and sometimes even laugh when they’re witnessing it. tell you that if you’ve been sexually assaulted to stay away from the person even though the police were involved and the boys were still at our school groping us. they sexualise their students and never...

    Terrible school

    Horrible place do absolutely nothing to help bullying of any kind. Let homophobic bullying take place for months and did absolutely nothing apart from a few actions that did absolutely nothing to help students who were getting bullied. When sexual assault is reported to the school they just tell the student to stay away from the victim of assault. Absolutely terrible school do not go here for the best.
