Kendrick School

Don't send you child here. Most teachers are nice, but there are a few terrible teachers who seem to hate teaching and are frankly bad at it. Especially because wary of the head of wellbeing(SH). Though she may seem nice, she's been known to side with bullies, discreetly racist and from personal experience when I went to her for help with my problems I was struggling with, she effectively told me to deal with it myself and forgot about it. The canteen food tastes like absolute dog water and is heavily overpriced. £1.50 for 5 pieces of grapes. Yeah. There was also a dead rat outside the canteen. The school is very very small too. On a more positive note, the students are great! There's barely any bullying and pretty judgement free, it's a community of largely immigrant students. They also bond over how trash the school is. Oh and the school nurse is also useless. She told me to breathe when I told her I have breathing problems. How great is that? Anyways, in conclusion, don't send your child here 👍

I have been hearing Kendrick does not provide a happy environment, the girls love being bitchy about others, schools do not take corrective measures, and Social Media bullying is prevalent. The school puts so much pressure on and pushy to get good marks in GCSE and A levels. No Importance is given to sports which are mandatory in A levels for personal statement. Overall no happiness in school including academic pressure. My DD left the school in middle of the year 8 which she can't handle.

head of year offered next to no support
the best parts of the school relied on people going beyond their job title instead of having actually good systems in place
every student will have imposter syndrome by the time they leave here

you can be yourself without having to worry and make really great friends! ofc the standards can be high sometimes and not everything is perfect but everyone is in the same boat here :)

Good academic achievement, and community spirit but teacher quality isn’t always the best. tends to rely on self motivated students to achieve highly.
