not good
moving areas because of this school, horrid place don't attend here
wouldn't recommend
school doesn't care about students. they do what works best for them and disregards any effects on the children.
so bad
terrible school teachers are horrible toilets stink food is gross everyone is bitchy the support is horrible nobody cares about your mental health teachers will chat about you to eachother and don’t care about you
One of many problems
The kitchen team needs firing , my daughter went to get lunch and we forgot to top her food money card up(first time) they took her food off her and gave her a slice of bread ????
This is just one of many issues with this school thankfully we have now got her out of this school and into a much better one things really need to be changed at this school ,if you are thinking of sending your child here really really don’t

Gave me lifelong trauma
Awful at dealing with bullying, teachers refuse to notice it, they do the absolute minimum trying to stop it, when someone defends themselves they’re the ones in trouble since the other persons behaviour is apparently expected? Forced into situations i didn’t want to be in due to student support trying to get me back into lesson rather than helping, also put into a room of the people i was trying to escape by going there, awful treatment of special needs students, teachers laughing along with students, also got called names by teachers, not wheelchair accessible at all, i know it looks good on the outside but please don't send your kids here
Poor, avoid where possible
Extremely poor with behaviour management, safeguarding is non-existent and bullying is common practice! Senior leadership team is weak and they fail to keep parents in the loop, so often you find out your child is failing when they’re very far along on the wrong track .
It’s a school which hasn’t caught up with the times, it no longer serves the same middle class population it once did and therefore they have a lot of work to do if they want to become a school which nurtures children, as it rightfully should.
A real shame, I think an ofsted inspection is long overdue.

Music drama
BAD very BAD
Very bad the main students are bad it is bad and the student support doesn't do anything good they are all bad
they cant do there job
the school was ok when i started full of really good teachers until i arrived in y10 to be accused of weed and be searched for no reason and to which i was told i was a liar by the safeguarding system
It’s called the Hell Hole for a reason.
The school offers the general subjects that most schools will offer however you will be able to see the effects that reduced funding over the years has done to the school as the teachers are buying stationary out of their own money.
The school itself is dusty, in dire need of paint and full of aged staff. The teachers themselves are very miserable constantly and will often take their emotions out on the students. I remember one teacher who would often talk about his terrible life with the students. It was horrible.
Students with special needs are not helped to the capacity that they need to be and the student support department is very unprofessional/ignorant of larger issues. The behavioural system runs on a point system and allows for little/no expression of the person.
Behaviour is not punished as it should be and fights will very often break out and some teachers even watch. I remember a child spying on me in the bathroom and he wasn’t even punished. The PE department is working with broken equipment and is very understaffed. I don’t know what else I can say apart from DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE unless you want them to come home miserable every day until they escape it.

Good school but needs improvement on some areas
This school is good education and teaching wise. On the other hand this school isn’t the best at tackling bullying mental health etc. The school supports students who are going through mental health but they don’t really help in the long run they also don’t tackle bullying very well they just talk to the person bullying someone and make them apologise and then forget about it. Teaching and education wise it’s a very good school with excellent equipment
