Awful school. Head is uncaring regards mental health caused to kids by this environment, and unfair regards children with extra needs. Many of the teachers treat the kids badly, shouting and barking at them for no good reason. Kids have committed suicide because the environment is rife with bullying with no consequence. Donot send your kids here if you want them to come out alive.
No communication between staff, no help for kids who need extra help. New building hasn’t changed anything because a school is made by the people in it and they are still the same……. unfortunately!! ANY school is better than this one!!! In fact, NO schooling at all is better than this one to protect your kids mental health. The kids aren't happy here and the school aren’t bothered what parents say or think either. Avoid avoid avoid!! It’s worse than the plague!!! Have to pick between a drink or a pudding with free school meals even!!! Absolute disgrace!! supply teachers are too frequent and they choose not to return once they have been once.
A teacher told my friend that she can’t wear leggings for PE because of her body type. I haven’t have a proper maths teacher since February and it’s the sam thing with my science teacher, bearing in mind I’m in set 1. There is only one toilet open in lessons. Year 7s and 8s have something called family lunch which is basically lunch with a seating plan and it’s horrible. The only good thing about the school is that next year we’re getting a new school but I doubt there will be much change. No air con, too hot in summer, too cold in winter because nothing works.
Kids are horrible, vile so much bullies for no reason!! Trying to make out the school is good but it's horrible every day I go here i have bad experiences, Loaded chewing game and unhygienic toilets, doors of the toilets have been drilled on. They need to sort out the teachers having too much days off and cover teachers just sit there, while kids are going mad!! Learn absolutely nothing, heating doesn't work and building is super old, stair ways are dangerous and crowded get pushed down onto the floor, needs SHUTTING DOWN!!
Very bad behaviour which isn’t sorted. Ridiculous uniform checks and uniform assemblies when those same rules are never applied. Buildings falling apart and 4 toilets open for the entire female population, queues are huge.
This school is awful. Lack of care for students and a couple of the students having been able to commit suicide without the school noticing any problems until after the fact, even though the students spend most of their week here. Something needs to be done to change that if you want any of these students to be alive let alone pass the gcse exams. An utter joke honestly with the state the school is in currently. Even just a simple check up and asking how someone’s day is would work, not ignoring them all day and forcing all this work on them when they haven’t learnt half of it due to covid.
During my time at hartshill it hasn’t been easy with issues such as COVID affecting how schools are run heavily, in my first two years I felt the school was awful, but as I’ve took time to review how much investment the school gets and how much it’s improved since I had my first day, it isn’t bad and at the end of the day, pupils have to be willing to learn from the teachers if they’re going to learn at a school and that is quite often not the case at hartshill.
