Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre

Our son went to Homewood school and really enjoyed it. He did absolutely fantastic in his GCSEs this year, exceeded his expected grades to get high scores. It is a lovely campus, teachers are absolutely brilliant, very specialist and very approachable if you need help. Our son benefited from being in the grammar stream in year 7 onward. Highly recommended

As a current student, this is by far the worst school i have ever been in. students are punished unreasonably and in a biased way. for example, i had joined a class 2 months ago, and was getting lower grades, as i had had 2 months to learn the material the rest of the class had a year to learn. so instead of helping me revise, they gave me a punishment (multiple detentions) that they called: 'a preventative measure, so we can help you.' keep in mind they did not give this punishment to other students with grades the same as, or worse than mine. they manage food access awfully, and you'd be lucky to eat in a day. i also heard a teacher of mine make a gross transphobic remark. by far the most unjust, miserable school I've been to, out of many.

Absolutely diabolical school, does not follow their own polices, procedures and codes of conduct. Teachers are inappropriate. Bullying is rife but sadly its not just children on children, its teachers on children too.
They refuse to have parents in for meetings. The principal will not meet with parents but will grab any opportunity to get his face in a paper.

Honestly I am year 7 and this school is so sad! I have friends but literally everything here is messed up. Bullying happens everyday and today I am so stressed that I can't do my work I don't rlly care now if I get a sanction but there is vaping and smoking too and a lot of other bad stuff. Fights are daily and we r not allowed phones!

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL IT IS THE WORST I'VE BEEN TO

the school is shit because my friend got hurt really bad the injuries were obviously not fake and the school decided not to do shit about it.They had a fight with my friend and her family over it because the school really said fuck all and left it there.bering in mind my friend is in year 8 and got assaulted by some year 11 boys which made her jaw swell.Fuck you Homewood your a fucking dip shit.

Lovely facilities, badly mismanaged though to a degree that is harmful to children's mental health, always take teachers' side, even if grossly wrong and making kids cry; sticking kids into isolation under the pretense it is for learning, but purely for punishment over stupid things such as wearing grey instead of black socks under trousers.

i still go here and i have been bullied relentlessly, they do nothing about it and i have talked to them multiple times and they still do nothing. i've come home in tears to my mum about it and she's beyond fed up at this point. this has been going on for about a year now (i'm year 11 so this started in year 10), the school still has done nothing about it and denied my mum to see the headteacher, mr single, so we are looking into moving school because i will not be travelling 30+ minutes to get bullied by people i called my friends who make fun of me being sexually assaulted every single day. i only hang out with one person now and they are a true friend but i go to the library at break and lunch because i have no one else to hang out with. this school has made me feel isolated and alone because they have done nothing about these bullies, 5 of them on my case every single day. i would name and shame but i doubt anyone would do anything (as usual). i'm fed up of being ridiculed for something that was out of my control at the time and i have been driven to think 'did i actually get sexually assaulted or am i just overthinking?'. the only thing i like about homewood is history, art and english because i can actually be myself and let my brain relax, although two of the 'bullies' are in my english. i have no other words than homewood needs to do something about bullying because it can ruin people's lives and the way people think, it's made me suicidal and wonder if anyone even cares, which is something a 15 nearly 16 year old shouldn't have to think. i've barely even started my life or year 11 and i already hate it. i feel alone and isolated as if no one cares as no one has done anything about this issue at all, the only person who's actually done something is my mum, she's pulled me out of school due to the fact that they have practically neglected me and my needs (they even did so when i felt like i was going to have a seizure as i'm epileptic), i won't be returning to school until the issue has been sorted (which it probably won't).

there are so many more rules and i really don’t like it. last year on the first day a girl in my class had to go in isolation all day because she wasn’t wearing the right trousers. there are lots of art options though. there’s also a lack of discipline on discrimination- this year i was called multiple homophobic slurs by one girl in one pe lesson, and i told my pe teacher and she said the girl would get an iec but she never did. actually, the girl denied everything.

this school has made my deppresion and ptsd worse they dont help you and they dont give 2 about bullying teachers cannot keep control of the class and teach. the site however is a absolute state im horrified to say this school is even worse than towers in all ways . this school should be shut down tbh do NOT send you children here .!!! by some 1 who goes to this school :)

My school is great. They are friendly,kind and thoughtful. The lessons are interesting and they disapline well. The environment is good however the amount of litter is unthinkable.

Lets just say I have removed my child with special needs and autism
Please don't send your children to a school that's stuck in the dark ages.

I had a teacher tell me daughters disorder wasn't a real disorder being a member of the sen department she had never heard of it.
Same teacher felt it was okay to talk negative about me and my family over a zoom meeting.
she had assumed I had left the chat.

Really bad behavior from the teachers.

this school is the worst I've ever attended, from the lack of emotional support as well as no fun activities. they never stop homophobia, racism or sexism and they only care about the teachers.
never send your child there. please dont be stupid and go here its horrible :) *

This school is, arguably, the worst school I’ve ever attended. From the lack of qualified staff to the amount of teachers who have been caught “noncing” over *underage* girls and had had no consequences. Going to the counsellor and being told “it’s a low mood, go back to class” when a student clearly is not okay is just the norm there. Kids are found taking drugs and smoking on site and instead of contacting the police, they just gave them a couple weeks of isolation. They don’t give two hoots about homophobia, transphobia, racism or bullying, despite what their advertisements say.
