everyone is so mean
i hate it here. people are so mean to others. the teachers don't care about bullying or people picking on other people. its horrible here. wouldn't recommend; especially if your an introvert, because the loud people love to take the mick out of you and act like your nothing to them.
The Hinckley school not supported my disabilities needs
I have been diagnosed with autism and the school has failed terribly to meet my needs.
My needs are simple, don't ask my questions in front of class as it's overwhelming and stressful, my stress levels decrease significantly if I'm next to a close friend.
If I need a place to calm down I was told to go to a room called student support where I can feel supported. Student support is mainly for people with disabilities like autism however recently I have been kicked out because the school want the room to be for year 7s and according to them I have too many friends. I only have 2. This was also distressing as sudden changes can stress me out. The teacher who told me to go away didn't know my disabilities and my struggles.They sent me to the library and it was giving me sensory overload with the noise and the amount of people however if I go near student support I get told off for being in the corridor.
I took a look inside student support and there wasn't any year 7s and they were all year 10s and 11s which are also autistic. They are the same age as me as well but I'm still not allowed to go in there.
I saw someone sleeping on a couch and I wasn't allowed to even sit in there. This is only one time the school have failed to meet my needs as they always seem to ignore me and focus on others who are less severe than me.
This school was terrible and didn't respect me.

Fornite :D
I am also a "friend" of sweetie. As i can here this school needs a lot of reforming. PS please talk to sweetie about how she has bullied me since 2021.
It would be very kind if you put her on some sort of safe guarding list as she needs the support, especially in maths.
Her coordinates is 53.0818° S, 73.5042° E
I decided to leave the school as she is too mean and makes my learning unsafe

Get Help
Im Sweetie's friend and this from what I can tell everyone here needs help
Not the greatest
Constant student abuse and no teachers care about mental health, I'd suggest finding a school that's better for your child if they struggle with things like that, because most teenagers do whether you see it or not.
Terrible
Teachers dont care. Terrible hygene and poor facilities
Ok and good
I think it’s a better school that heath lane because you can stay in you a levels and you can’t in heath lane so what if people think heath lane is better that is there opinion so if you do want to go , go
needs some improvements
My school feels like they are trying to make it better but its just getting worse.The vandalism that people do to the school is bad, everywhere you go now there is slt everywhere, standing out side the toilets always in every corridor, cctv everywhere you go, and this is because of the vandalism and people setting of fire alarms. IT FEELS LIKE A PRISON. The amount of bullies in the school is unbelievable and they dont do anything about it when they say they do.The amount of homework we get 2 peices a week from each lesson! its honestly draining for students, we never have much free time because we are stressed about homework that due in.How do they expect us to do this. i think and i know this school wants to be the best but while thinking this i dont think they think about the students wellbeing getting this much homework and somtimes not feeling safe in school because school you should be excited to go and learn thing but i dont think anyone is because it feels like a prison and we always get told to do pride which makes some people want to cause trouble.I do think they should think about the students well being s bit better.Also the food is so expensive my freind is on pupil priemium they can only buy break time food but can never nuy lunch time food so they are skipping a meal which is not healthy for growing children. I think they could improve a bit.
Bad school DONT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE
SHIT they don’t care about bullying or the students
I hate u
This school is so bad and so sh!t
Amber
So so bad the teachers don’t care about the students the DONT care about bullying
Shockingly bad
To be honest the worst school I've been to in the area and I've been to a couple. I wasn't at this school for long, only about a term probably. I initially started at the school in Yr7 like everyone else but swiftly left not long after. I was bullied severely and the staff refused to do anything about it and thought I was lying. They only started to talk to me once I had provided evidence (messages containing d***h th***ts) to the headteacher. Even then, their management of the situation was appaling and still didn't do anything about it so it got to the point where I ended up leaving. The only good thing I have to say about the place is one teacher, who I can't name, that made chemistry lessons fun and was genuinely nice and kind to me whilst I was there. The food was also incredibly unhealthy usually the only option was pizza or a sausage roll. No catering for needs like gluten or dairy free or allergies.
Good pastoral care but a lot of bullying.
The teaching is decent. The pastoral care at this school is brilliant and they are happy to accommodate any students needs. The only problem is the teachers are unable to control their students behaviour. Lessons are constantly interrupted by other students and bullying is an extremely common theme.

Utter hell hole, I regret coming here.

Bussin BUSSIN AM I RIGHT MY G
best school in the world
send your child here this school is amazing the teachers inspire you. this school drives me to do better it has made me a better person. the food is bussin
I don't like it
They take you phone of you for no reason. I don't like the school as there is many problems with it such as no swimming pool and lack of facilities as they are always broken. Some teachers have just gone to prison.
Probably the worst in the area
Now don’t get me wrong I had some great moments at this school and some of the teachers were top class but that’s about where the positive points end, from teachers who are now in prison for things I don’t think I can say on here and teachers just standing by bullying and letting it happen students setting off the fire alarm at least once a month (it went or 3 times in one day once) which I admit at the time I didn’t mind because most of the lessons were boring especially maths where talking was a crime punishable by an after school detention this school has it all if you like the facilities you are again out of luck the swimming pool is as far as I’m aware closed and everything else deteriorating save yourself the trouble go somewhere else
Avoid like the plague
Useless staff could never control a classroom. It's a Shame as I definitely had good passionate teachers during my time there but they ended up leaving as the school got worse
Do not work here!
I was a teacher here for about two years; I have never quite witnessed such poor management of facilities, resources, student behaviour, staff training, middle and senior management to name but a few. The school is falling down, don’t let the fancy new website fool you. Staff do not care, and managers lack empathy and don’t seem to care about students or staff. Take a look at the ********* ******* *** ********- the only thing she could teach a child/teenager about nutrition is how to get a fast pass to type two diabetes. This woman can barely write an email without having to recall it for mistakes, how she is a senior manager is beyond me. She is just one of a few permanent fixtures, like a lazy boy chair or other bulky, awkward and heavy piece of furniture you should have gotten rid of 15 years ago.** ********* is the same- these people brought the school into requires improvement but are still there.
Toxic work place/bullying is normal by staff and students no support-lazy teachers and LOADS of staff absence which is unsurprising considering how awful it is to work there.
SERIOUS OBESITY EPIDEMIC HERE.

It's not the best
Honestly I'm currently here and it's not amazing the food is bad and unhealthy and there isnt much choice the teachers cant controll that class at all there is some good moments especially with the good teachers head teacher isnt good either
tragic
school is practically falling apart in most areas, most staff are useless and don’t know how to control a classroom, food is overpriced and isn’t even nice
The average school
Not gonna lie I had good moments at this school but also bad moments. Some teachers aren’t strict some are and overall I think it’s not to bad for a school.
covid is ruining it
sixth form part is way better than the secondary school part, teachers are chill, food sucks, covid is ripping the school to shreds though lmao
Not very good
Food is way to expensive and not even good quality. Some teachers don't have a clue what they are doing, not doing social bubbles correctly, so literally anyone couldve come into contact with someone with covid
Terrible
Worst school ever left at 14 because it made me depressed. All the teachers are horrible and the food is shockingly bad
Don’t go to this school
Bad school traumatised for life left at 14 because it was so bad
