I DON’T RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY FOR NERODIVERGENT YOUNG PEOPLE.
Hi, I’m a student here and I have diagnosed autism and ADHD. I’m very high functioning so I’m closer to a neurotypical person than an actual neurodivergant person. I’m just really quiet if I don’t know you and have social anxiety is all, I’m not that retarded. However, starting high school, I expected the teachers to treat ne exactly like they would any other kid my age. WRONG! They treated me like a little toddler who doesn’t know what it’s doing. They infantalised me and underestimated me. For the first about 1.5 years I was in that shithole they didn’t even let me go to mainstreme classes because they thought I was ’too retarded’ to go JUST because I have diagnosed autism. No matter how many times the teachers visibly pissed me off for how condesending they were and how much they’d limit my personal growth just for my diagnosis because of how much they’d underestimate me, dismiss me if I’d try to be SLIGHTLY independant in working, overexplain the simplest things ever too me unnecesserily on a daily basis, they never stopped the way they treated me. And two specific teachers (won’t name so I don’t get my ass in trouble) were the worst. I’ll try not to get into the specifics but they technically harassed and abused me and no one batted an eye at the two teachers’ behaviour because they’re women instead of men and because they did the abuse and harassment and mistreatment subtly. But it still very much effected me and no one knows. They treated me like this all because of my diagnosis. Most of the teachers there treated me like I never know what I’m doing and like I’m the most retarded person in the world, extremely stereotyping me, and I won’t go into detail but even as a calm person who rarely ever gets angry, THOSE TEACHERS REALLY FUCKING PISSED ME OFF WITH HOW THEY TREATED ME. It’s not even funny. They should’ve just treated me normally. They treated me like some alien or animal or something. And there was genuinley only two teachers who ever treated me normally. TWO. TWO OUT OF ALL OF THEM. And don’t even get me fucking started on the toilets. You don’t wanna know. Seriously. There’s piss all over the seats and floor, toilet roll and mud (or shit) everywhere, the soap doesn’t get refilled for months or even years. On the other hand, I don’t even wanna think about lesson times. In some classes, no one behaves and you get no work done. And some teachers don’t let you go to the toilet when you need it, they just tell you to suck it up and that you should’ve got at lunch, as if people can control their bladders and people who get periods and control them. This school repulses me and the system failed me. I don’t like the classes. I don’t like the students. But most of all, I fucking hate the teachers. Thanks for a shit time, Lostock High School. Thanks a fucking lot.
IF YOU HAVE NO OPITONS FOR SCHOOL, DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL
As a former student there, it has been the worst experience of my life, the teachers don't even teach, they just hand out punishments because another student distracted another, no real help besides google, the exams are horrible the students are extremely extremely disrespectful. Oh did i mention that students carry around knives? I have seen more kids in isolation then in the actual class, this school will never help you pass your exams, your stressed about the teachers giving you detentions and worried for your life because you may be robbed, horrible school, horrible management, and i hope this school dissolves because it is just a building filled with crimes.
This school is not worth going to. Staff doesn't help you and teachers don't tell kids off forr being naughty. The headteacher doesn't know what she doing
Being a student there is honestly hell, the place is poorly maintained, janitors maybe clean one room or two rooms a term, there are some decent staff members but they’re all leaving because of mistreatment, the head teacher is rather blind or will fully ignorant to the problems the school has. You can barely learn in lesson as the teachers (if they’re not a supply teacher like they usually are) have absolutely no control over the students, they have no sense of order in place and when students are given a punishment for their behaviour it’s up to them to even go. Overall I wouldn’t want to send the child of my worst enemy here.
If you want entertainment, youve found the right place - Pencil trays being dashed acrossed the rooms, phones being flung out of multi storey buildings, tables getting flipped, the place was a warzone. Ahh, good times. Oh and dont get me started on the rage and roaring sessions. If you want hollywood level entertainment. Oh boy have you found the right place.

Tables flipped everyday,, made students cry funny stuff loved every minute, roaring sessions I remember to this day needed ear muffs. People got chucked out for drugs an dat.
Fatty bacon.
I wouldn't recommend your child coming to this school.
The other review called 'Miles better', I wouldn't be surprised if they got paid by one of the teachers or staff to say that.
The new headteacher isn't 'leaps and bounds compared to the last', if anything the new headteacher will have to go through leaps and bounds to keep the school afloat.
The toilets 'are being maintained', which ones? The ones that they put right next to the food department.
Have they heard of hygiene?
'Teachers in each department are all very good', that's probably why a lot have left and some want to leave now.
Some classes have had supply teachers for the whole academic year and some don't even bother to come into school.
Overall, not a better school and I would not recommend.
The new headteacher (dont know about the exec one never met em) is leaps and bounds compared to the last and the staff they’ve brought in are incredible. And with covid the toilets are being maintained which compared to before is a huge plus. And the teachers in each department are all very good, all with different methods, but all get the information across.
Overall a better school than it was and hopefully keeps improving
