Hornchurch High School

Bulling and unnecessary sanctions and hour detentions for even speaking in the corridor
Harsh discipline from head teachers rules

Loads of bad experiences with this school I don’t even know where to start. This review is just really to spread awareness. The amount of control the school uses. But yea I can definitely agree with all the other reviews, it did used to be a good school up until February 2023. Since then there has been nothing but problems. Teachers literally put fear into you saying do this or you get a 1 hour detention. Don’t even get me started with the lies and manipulation they tell at parents evening, most parents have even confronted them for the lies. This school gives you detention for being late. They even say that the school starts at 8:30 when it really starts at 8:27. The year 7s and 8s haven’t even been on one school trip yet since the new leadership has come. The school even excludes your child if they fail their isolation, despite the fact you only get 3 warnings for the whole day. Miss your detention? It’s a straight isolation. If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to just look at the other reviews.The school has even been on the havering daily. Don’t even get me started on how many students and teachers have left the school that’s why year 11 and 10 are small groups. Oh yea Hornchurch high apparently you keep your children safe. But tell me why if your keeping them safe why is there mould on the school food. I will try and show a picture of the mould but my child isn’t the only one who has seen this mould on the food many other children have, and it is true most of the teachers don’t even teach. Thank you for listening let’s try and make the world a better place.

I went there and in y7 it wasn’t so bad in fact I liked that school cuz you wouldn’t get hour detentions from not having a rubber pencil etc but now I have gotten very low marks on my exams cuz there barley teach anymore and just say “You have a hour detention!” all the time if you want your kid to succeed in life take them to a better school that lets you go toilet and have a good experience as a child

New head teacher needs to focus on teaching rather than continuous petty sanctions, she seems too interested in school image rather than quality education!
Sudden influx of young inexperienced teachers - wonder why all the good experienced teachers left??!
disappointed with level of teaching attitude, would expect more positive interaction rather than mundane text book!
positive about this school - there is no RAAC!
