Horrendous Hendon Schoom Experience

I suffered bullying from teachers and pupils from 1974 to 1980. I had a stool thrown at me from a science teacher, a piece of chalk thrown at me by an English teacher a child development teacher telling me do shut up bad enough when you do talk it's double dutch a teacher in my secretarial course said some of you will get top jobs and some of you won't pointing at me. I remember being relentlessly bullied by boys and girls at 61 years of age I still am disgusted how I was treated and how I just took it. I have found out I was autistic at 46 years of age hence being picked on be because I was so odd. My family life was hell I would go to school and that was hell how I survived was a miracle. I am much happier in my sixties have good friends and have cut all ties with my abusive family. Give Hendon school a wide birth and do not send a child with autism to a full time mainstream school. Teachers and pupils who bullied me I remember their faces to this day and should be ashamed of themselves.

hendon school is a total garbage!

school is a piece of garbage, bullies. School receptionists is rude. School governor who I as a parent complained about the poor treatment and harassment that was done to us during my visit in the school was ignored. This school breed bullies and hypocrisy. I took my child out so this vile institution as soon as I could from this idiots.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

Please for the sake of your child , DONT SEND THEM HERE !! I’ve been to 10 schools and this is the worst one ever . Death threats , bullying , racism , this is supposed to be an educational place to make kids feel safe . Complete opposite . This place used to be a decent school but now it’s turned completely upside down . If you’re planning to send your child to a school ANYWHERE BUT HERE is better . Staff horrible . And i even nearly got food poisoning from their discousting food . Watery macaroni , uncooked curry , and the worst of all is I found a HAIR in my jelly and it wasn’t my hair because it was a red strand . And they didn’t even give me a new one . And the food is just the least of my worries but I’m not going to say anything else than just KEEP YOUR CHILD AWAY FROM HERE

WORST SCHOOL EVER!!!

I would literally give a 0 but there was no choice . This school should seriously be shut down with the amount of physical fights and some even ending up in hospital , if you don’t want your children to end up like that , please for your safety and children’s DONT send them to this hell of a school . I went to this school for 6 months and it was so bad that I even left . Teachers horribly disrespectful, students bullying people for skin colour , I can’t even name a single teacher that even taught me anything other than give me amounts of disrespect. I understand and respect that they are our teachers but they have got to give us the same respect that they get from us . And I know for a fact that when people come to visit the school they either send the bad behaviourd kids home or put them in a room . Out of everything , this school either needs to be permanently shut down , or deeply investigated . Because when a serious and huge issue happen in the school they try and cover it up asap . Which is not alright and in my opinion this is the worst school in Barnet DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!

Horrible school

I don’t even know how I can start this paragraph . I’m still in utter disgust in the fact that I can’t even give a zero star . But the school will literally ruin your child entire life . Bullies , threats , and even more horrible stuff I can’t even say . This school is really the worst school in Barnet and I’m still surprised how it’s still open to this day . Because even the teachers watch kids getting bullied and they just stand there doing nothing . So please don’t be surprised if your child comes back home from their first day in Hendon in tears.

Honestly I don’t know even where to start . This school is any child’s worst nightmare . Bullying , threats and more . I’m not surprised that this is the worst school in LBB . I’m still very shocked on how this school is still open out there . literally the first day ur child comes to this school it’s going to be a living hell . So if they say they hate it and want to move schools , do what they say and save them from that hell of a “school” this place needs to be shut down for good .

Worst school of Barnet

I don’t know where to start. I would give Zero star but there was no zero. School teachers know how much bullying happening in the the school and children’s behaviors is terrible. Even this year a year 10 students half her hair ripped by another school mates because of racism. The school teachers do know all bullying but they hide everything just to not to have any trouble with Ofsted. They hide everything but too much children leaving or planning to leave if they any other school place. This school is the worst school of Barnet Borough. They should close at least investigate deeply this school.

The WORST school in LBB

As if the current generation don't have it hard enough, Hendon School make it even harder. Knife crime, a sexual assault incident, theft, racism, fighting and bullying.. All things that are simply unimaginable, are the reality in this school. Their responsibilities in respect of a duty of care for pupils is non existent and quite frankly it's scary. An URGENT investigation is required in to the shocking state of the school. The children in the lower years of Hendon School simply have NO hope. Everything within this review are not my opinion, they are facts. If you're contemplating sending your loved ones here, please for their best interests, find an alternative school.

Why 2:25pm on Fridays? Make it normal!

I cannot believe my son uses this 2:25 time on Fridays to treat me absolutely horribly! Not only does me mock me about how he is going to torture me by making me wake up in the early morning for Saturday and Sunday, but his grades aren’t good enough! I’m so jealous of my friends with children that have great grades! This should not be 2:25 please I need his grades to improve its absolutely disappointing. It’s not even a holiday it’s still school!

Unsafe school Ofsted MUST inspect it without notice.

This school is not safe, two knife cases involving the kids in this school which one of the pupils ended up in hospital with serious injuries. The school only protects its own interest and I believe Ofsted is not aware of that because the school is great at covering up what ruins the school’s “reputation”?!? Funny is that when the police went to investigate it with Hendon school back when the incident happened the school refused to speak up about the incident ??hmm.
When Ofsted is about to inspect the school. We know that when Ofsted is about to go to inspect the school they ask students to behave and send bullies back home that day so the school don’t really see how the kids behave like in that school and it’s also a form of suppressing the truth. Bullying and strategical cover ups is the cancer of this school please be aware of that and always report it directly to the education system or Ofsted if you have a child being bullied there it will save you time believe me, make sure Ofsted knows about what’s going on in writing not only complaining with the headteacher or the ones subordinated to her. Ofsted must inspect this school without advising when they come, it will be very important so they can know how messy the school is ! The scary fact about this school we have heard is that the last headteacher killed himself because the staff used to bully him so you can imagine what you can expect from this place NOTHING. I guess Ofsted doesn’t know about that as well?? This school haven’t had a proper inspection since 2005 to 2011 and until last year 2021! The bullies are protected in this school because they are never removed even when there is more than enough evidences against them, the kids suffering with bullying is suppressed and blamed by an incompetent management unable to handle and deal with serious incidents. Please report it to the education system and Ofsted so the school stops to use suppressing tactics and excuses to not remove horrible bullies when they attack and harass kids, instead they twists the truth against the facts and tries to dismiss the evidences with a pathetic and repetitive excuses not realising they won’t pass this tactics this time.
The bottom line is that the school will do nothing for your child if you don’t address your complain by writing and making sure Ofsted access it. If you only complain by speaking to the principal or it’s subordinated they will do nothing, what they will do is blame the parents and come up with some excuses to not do what they supposed to, make up lies about the parents and the kids that has being bullied, also accuse them and use impolite rude passive-aggressive talking to twist facts instead of dealing with the problems, remember that one horrible bully expelled is a negative impact against the school and less money for them, they don’t want problem when don’t suit them and they will doubt you, twist what you say, play the little game “we don’t have a enough evidence to do our jobs”, lie on your face and do nothing about it. Don’t silence the risks you child may encounter in this school don’t be afraid to speak out for what is fair for your children and the most important thing their safety in the school! Report in writing don’t let your kids suffer.

this school will ruin your child’s life and behaviour.

this is the worst school I’ve been in in 10 years. I’ve went to multiple schools and this is by far the worst. It includes bullying, false accusations and people ganging up on you.
Do not come to this school unless you want your child’s life ruined.
