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!!!..) Another thing is that you cant even express yourself… no hair clips, no bows, no decent looking school shoes like docs or even the slip ons some girls used to wear, no eyelashes, piercings, fake nails (id understand if they were long nails but they aren’t people get them reasonable lengths.), no handbags, no trainers (which would be a detention + referral- would be more comfortable but you do you I guess..) basically just stupid rules, which is absolutely ridiculous I mean I’m sure a nose stud won’t effect how I write. Don’t even get me started on the animals in that school, seriously I’ve never seen children get away with so much stuff in all my life, it’s a joke. It’s the fact the head teacher cares more about the schools appearance + status instead of the mental health of some students. I’m a very quiet person I keep to myself, I get anxious and upset easy and making it so you have to ask your teacher to get welfare to come down to “see if it’s reasonable for you to go to welfare” is a joke.. A JOKE!.. How is somebody who is socially anxious or upset meant to talk to someone about how they are feeling when the whole class is watching. ITS. A. JOKE. I’m not sure why we can’t just get a welfare slip (or pass if you have one) and go like they did before. Seriously if you think about putting your child in this school. Don’t. Just don’t. I’m begging you to take my word on this because as a pupil who goes here. ITS. NOT. A. GOOD. SCHOOL. Plus there is almost nothing to do and your basically stuck in a old car park for break time.
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.
Grace is liars cause they kicked me out of school because they didn’t like me even if it wasn’t my fault, they were just blaming me for everything the teachers are very mean they shout are you for no reason
I think this school is a joke no claw clips no dolly shows no gel nails thought the kids were going to a school not a jail absolute joke I feel sorry for the kids
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.
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).
every day mark hall takes me into his office and proceeds to pour toxic waste onto my trousers because they are black instead of the assigned grace college grey trousers
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.
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.
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 have enough food left for everyone.
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.
