    Horrible school

    Horrible education I only learn to tolerate disrespect for people who are older than me and you can't even express yourself everyone has to look the same and act the same too many fights and teachers couldn't care less about your education

    Be Aware

    I was here for 5 years, we had a head teacher who had his tablet always tuned into the boys and girls toilets. In addition he would always approach the year 7s with a creepy smile. We had a teacher who promoted their whole family as LGBT but then does not help if anyone is in trouble.

    Not good

    better than my previous secondary schools, the education was ok but far from good, I hated it there. Couple of creepy teachers and the heads of years never took sexual assault claims seriously or “forgot” to handle it. really small school with constant broken roof panels. They also always brought in pointless rules about trousers having to be a specific shade of grey or the girls have to wear trousers that cover their ankles (???) they also did assemblies about “tolerating” the LGBTQ+ community...

    Not the best

    There’s always leaks in the roof or there’s a panel of the roof taken down. The teachers don’t really care as much as they say when your child is getting bullied. The outside of school is never usually clean and when the kids go outside on the field for pe there’s usually people with dogs or there’s geese everywhere which is hard to play

    Awful

    Really bad school- Teachers swear and often many leaks throughout the whole school. Nasty teachers who couldn’t care less about our education too. The head teacher who introduced everyone to wear masks doesn’t even wear his own and when he does he takes it off to speak to another member of staff without a mask
