Hillview School for Girls

I joined a lot later than everyone else which made it a little difficult with my learning but besides that it's amazing the teachers are very nice as long as you don't get on their nerves. I didn't have a problem with bullying however I knew a few students that did but overall the bullying wasn't really an issue

Its a good school but they struggle with authority and theres a big vaping issue.lessons can be very basic and repetitive not much creative work they need more places for students to sit in shade and indooors.

Very bad for mental health and the staff don’t care about no one in the school . Was struggling with mental problems at the start of the year and they didn’t help at all , students are really rude and staff are bad , I go here

currently a student in year 9, and tbh its not that great. my current student support manager, i see her a lot due to mental health issues and she always forgets the simplest of things. i see her one day and she says about how she'll refer me to the school counsellor, which shouldve happened monthd ago and she never does it. then i go back again and shes all like, "oh i dont remember doing a referral i'll do another one" AND FORGETS AGAIN. and quite recently she called my mum and asked about if i was getting any medical attention, and my mum said about an ASD assessment i was getting, WHICH SHE EVEN HELPED FILL OUT AND SHE FORGOT AND LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS GETTING ONE. but wait, it gets worse. she then said she would send an email to CS about it and maybe get me some help and get a key worker, BUT GUESS WHAT SHE DID??? she forgot to send it.

well anyways moving on
the teachers hardly ever care about your mental health aswell,, one english lesson a week ago or something i was having a really tough day. and my english teacher, the one in 511 told me that everyone is a bit tired on a monday morning and can't get their brain to work and literally made me feel stupid even though i was having a shutdown and could not work AT ALL. not all english teachers are like this though, most of them are very nice ‼😍 my mentor, who's in 510 btw is actually so nice he's amazing and he probably knows more about how i'm struggling mentally than my own parents.

homework is also set way to often and the fact that teachers are just so willing to give out detentions despite your circumstances is really quite appalling.

despite all of this, the school is great if youre pretty good at most subjects and are an extrovert and aren't prone to mental health problems. and it's also good if you like the arts subjects (although i have heard it's a lot of work for gcse and can leave you burnt out and incredibly stressed)

does this have a character limit? we'll never know

Student support do not do anything all they do is send you back to lessons if your having a panic attack. They are not aware of children's needs and the teachers give children looks and don't do anything to help them. My daughter was bullied all throughout year 7 to 11 and the teachers did nothing. Really wouldn't recommend.

Do not go hereee !!! Was absolutely horrible and hated every hour of it, average teachers but terrible support and Lots and lots of issues got left until they get extreme before they’re handled properly. Moved schools as soon as I could, they couldn’t understand why I wanted to leave ! A joke of a school honestly

the teachers didnt help me with my problems correctly and especially with bullying

hi im currently in year 11 i used to attend hillview and they had no support for my mental health issues at all they would send me into lessons while i was having panic attacks and all, also have heard from a friend who came out as non binary and asked for a name change got told that they were too young to know their gender and that theres only 2 genders , anyways please dont send your kids to this school its awful

this school is really bad and has had a negative effect on my mental health have not helped me and are really rude their academic scores are high but they dont help the students that struggle

I loved it , could of handled bullying a bit better than telling me I’m amazing 😻

I'm not sure actually why I see it as semi-bad, its just, ever since going there I can tell I'm not okay. For example, I really find it hard actually getting myself out of bed. I have that for most things now, but it definitely makes it worse and walking through the hallways really gets me on edge. Not very considerate to stress, not gonna lie, I really dread walking to school .

One of the school councilors may have told me I'm emotionless (thanks btw), not sure if they're still there. Been not okay on the mental scale since Year 9? Now sixth form. Like, on a small note, I used to enjoy P.E., and after going here I can hardly do it in my own room without feeling paranoid. Sounds stupid, but having only one friend then saying "get into groups" then splitting that odd pair up. Not very confidence inspiring.

Anyhow, the teachers are generally nice people, glad to have met them. I don't think we're allowed to mention teachers, but I gotta say the English teacher in 509, definitely fits that statement. Wonderful lady.

Got the good ol' one and only Hillview experience. I've got good GCSE grades as the teaching does hit the spot. Oh! May be good if the breaks were slightly longer I guess. It's fun to watch my friends inhale their food, but I doubt scoffing it down is healthy.

I would have more to say but I dont know if theres a character limit, plus it's that weird phenomenon, where you can't recall the moment you're asked. Like when someone asks your favourite song, for example. So I'll just go now, since its 1AM.

kinda bad, like we get too much homework, it’s basically the root of my anxiety/ all my mental issues and i don’t think that’s right!
