DONT SEND UR CHILD HERE
DO NOT SEND UR CHILDREN HERE
this school is like a prison if u do not have correct uniform on u will be placed in isolation all day with just a homework booklet, attendance team are rude they expect u to come into school even if u have been sick the day before, the toilets are horrible always food in them , such as sandwiches and cakes and empty water bottles, tissues everywhere all over the floor, none off the teachers listen to u if u need to talk to a teacher about ur anxiety or ur mental health they will just send u back to ur lesson, rules are strict such as not being able to wear a coat inside the building when it is freezing in winter u will be issued a detention if u are seen with one on, and and the most ridiculous rule is not being able to use the toilet when ever u need to go, i cant help it if im on my period and need to go toilet, education here is poor staff members dont know how to control a lesson properly or teach it, the food is also bad and never enough food to feed everyone at break time, have to que up outside at break and lunchtime to get in, when its raining, always food on tables and rubbish everywhere. Do not send ur child here

Awful place to go.
Constantly hiring creepy staff, didn’t take matters seriously and would punish children for the most stupid things.
Avoid this school
Oh my days I don’t even know where to start off with. I am so grateful I left this school at the end of year 9 please don’t send your child here to this school. This school should be investigated and looked at how they educate student especially with how they have a really bad behaviour system also with staffs not doing anything like I mean it nothing with bullying and many other stuffs like racism,depression,anxiety,suicidal thoughts and many more. They literally don’t do nothing about it. The staffs need to be retrained on these things. I have wasted 3 years of my life not learning anything because of how the teachers couldn’t control the students and the teachers did not have a clue what they were doing. They have a strict policy on uniform like for example wearing your coat inside is restricted and you will get a detention or get is confiscated.the classes kept on having supply teachers due to teacher shortages which was not great at all. The toilets was revolting. it was sickening me. They are basically unusable due to students always making a huge mess and this is why I am saying the behaviour team are not doing anything about it. I can guarantee a lot of people are going to fail their gsce next year. So I’m telling you please don’t apply to this school. there are a lot of homophobic also with Islamophobia comment made from students and guess what the behaviour teachers didn’t do anything in fact they just gave them a warning which is basically not even a detention.
I have more but unfortunately I cannot fit it all in this review. I wish I could give this a 0 star rating

A lot of bullying that isn't handles correctly, mostly to the point it still isn't dealt with after parents phone up or go in to speak with the school. Homophobia not dealt with correctly.
AVOID THE SCHOOL
Oh my days Cant believe what i witnessed as a student in this place. The most horrible place to study

school is absolutely appalling. From the poor teaching to the disgusting attitude they have, there’s no possible way to express my hatred enough. The school rules are absolutely ridiculous. Why is a child unable to use toilets during and in between lessons without a medical pass? This issue is particularly impacting males and of course females, the staff however are able to take breaks during lesson which is unacceptable. As for the teaching some teachers are very unprofessional, during inspections they behave differently whereas usually they don’t properly carry out their jobs. This ranges from false information, inappropriate comments and simply reading from slides and using text books without passion that is required to intrigue a child into further learning
Now as for ATTENDANCE! The attendance staff are ruthless, heartless and merciless. A child can’t help but to be ill sometimes due to severe medical issues and weak immune systems etc. This means they are physically unable to attend the school, therefore they should be allowed to take days off to ensure the contagious illnesses they have don’t spread amongst other students. For this school it isn’t the case, if a child has vomited or had stomach aches etc.Here they are still obligated to attend the same day. Now as many of you are aware bus times can vary; this means that students can tend to be late sometimes and in other instances there can be roadworks or an accident. This means that even if a child leaves half an hour earlier than usual they can still be late and therefore should be cut some slack. If someone has a valid reason then a “correction” (new term for detention) isn’t necessary to be put into place. Here’s another issue amongst hundreds more where I could carry on, when a child is wearing improper uniform or is missing a planner the sanctions in place are too harsh, if a student is missing a tie for example or a planner they are isolated for the day. This means they are secluded on their own looking only at a wall all day where they aren’t taught and only given worksheets. Other problems with being late is that despite the weather, whether it’s pouring rain, heaving snow or even a blizzard all children who are late must stand outside during the whole of form time. To conclude I would like to say that this school is much worse than I thought and regret attending it wasting and ruining 3 years of my life. In a place where you are being taught by a technician for a year instead of actual teachers. I would give 0 stars if I could because this is DISGRACEFUL.
Know I have gone to another school and guess what I actually been taught well ugh I should of left earlier.

the school was under budgeted by over half of the stated amount, the top row of rooms were always way too cold to be in to the point teachers told us to wear coats. we had a supply almost every other lesson and never really had a secure form tutor since year 7. the discipline system is guilty to proven innocent and has been criticised by many official people who work with children and by teachers who work there. as a whole there was a decent amount of bullying and drugs going around the school form year 8 onwards and the staff never handled those situations properly. it was a pretty terrible experience and has left me with some mental problems when it comes to small rooms, they have two outside bungalows with no heating and exposed wires which students can be placed in there for up to 8 hours with no mental stimulation and you have to copy from an old text book which denys students the option to study for their exams/tests. overall i’d say avoid this school with all costs and send your child to west park secondary school
