Mount St Mary's Catholic High School

I attend this school its not bad I guess very cultural however this many racist teachers in this school I will not name names but there is a lot of racist teachers here. the school its self is good but can be better.

Very wonderful it's inspirational and very kind to their students I think this school should get a very high rated

The school is very bad and the students don't get treat how they want to be treated and how the teachers yell at them and people judged for what they look like and that and they won't really sort the issue out properly so I suggest you go to a different school

This school is so nasty to students now like when you have a problem with people no teacher listen at all it is very appalling . Like when some fat shame others being assaulted by other students and racist comments some teachers saying inappropriate to student when you report to a teacher they never do nothing . Stupid rules no coats instead when it is cold , to ask to take your jumper off when it a summer weather, what is the point , teachers don’t care about mental health or anything they say to come in when you don’t feel well but they don’t do that so I would never let my children to come to this school or it will be burned down anytime soon

This school is bad it’s so racist defends white people and say stuff like oh we can’t do anything or it’s not our problem when stuff involving other races happen teachers are so disrespectful shouting at everybody so rude to people the year office DONT deal with things properly they don’t let u go to the toilet when u can’t control ur bladder they give u a late even if u have a excuse stress us out

This actually is a really good school it offers many things that other schools don't and you don't need to be popular just to fit in I am a student and they are very welcoming when I was in year 7 everyone wanted to meet you the only downside is that the uniform can be really itchy and uncomfortable I saw some of the classes do a play of high school musical the singers were amazing and the school band were fantastic! I love this school this is my opinion and other people's have theirs. The only reason why its average is because of uniform but a tip for that is to go online and ask for something a bit bigger than ur size when I say a bit I mean a tiny bit.

Mount st Mary’s is a horrible school and the kids are horrible to each other. They say it is diverse but people don’t mix at all they just stay in their gangs and bully each other. Even the teachers bully each other I’ve seen teachers shouting at each other in front of the kids so all the good teachers have gone now. Kids have knifes it’s not safe place to be and all they care about it exams exams and not actually teaching anything useful

Teachers not letting go to the toliet even if you need it, not going to mention names but english teacher in english isnt good

My experience in Mount St Marys hasn't been the best, bullying was my number one thing because I was badly for about 3 years and some things got done but they never took me serious, they would always say "oh he likes you boys do that" but there was constant name calling and stuff being thrown at me to the point where I didn't even want to go there anymore and wanted to move. The second thing would be mental health, I know teachers are not therapists but we are just kids and were going through things but they never seem to help or care which makes it so much worse because they treat you like shit. The next thing would be favouritism and racism, the favouritism in this school is SO UNFAIR you make 1 mistake and your treated so differently, and some teachers either never speak to u or pick u for an answer you clearly know or will pick on u for an answer you don't know, not to mention teachers like Mr flynn and Mrs leigh, they constantly get away with so many things like Mr flynn's punishments are so unfair, once my friend got excluded for something that totally was not her fault but he decides to keep the same boy that always misbehaves and gets away with everything, and Mrs leigh has said the n-word about a thousand times and is still working in this school?? Next the bathrooms. I feel bad for the cleaners because people constantly trash the toilets and the boys toilets always smell like urine while the girls toilets always have pads hanging out the bins its unhygienic and disgusting, not to mention the fact that there's no wall in-between the girls and boys bathroom so we can all see each other. The teachers are also mega liars, they talk about how amazing this school is but we always have fights, and the uniform is so ugly, girls cant even wear skirts because of boys but its out fault? I wouldn't recommended coming here, so don't.

Overall the school isn't that bad the teachers care about your education and mocks/GCSE's. except from that there is a lot of bullying, students are not nice not so ever and they always getaway with it, even when your waiting for food for example nothing gets done, or like one time a boy was being bullied and they did nothing, not to mention the amount of RACISM. There was 2 boys in our year that several racist comments and they told us they were suspended but they do work in learning zone THEY NEVER LEFT....and one girl said the n word tome and others and I got made to apologies because i was lying. The uniform is so ugly and everyone sweats in it because there's no space for our bodies to breathe its stupid how much coverage there is, i asked why and they said they want everyone to look the same which is stupid because boys look up ur skirts so they should just tell the boys off. And the bathrooms are disgusting and im not blaming the cleaners but it hardly gets cleaned and there one side for girls one side for boys but no wall covering so we are in the same room which is strange. A lot of teachers pick favorites as well, for example, MrsBarns, MrsAtkins, MrsSmith (PE TEACHER) I wouldn't recommend coming to this school, bullying, fights, racism, forced religion, smelly and old callings, wouldn't recommended

It's a terrible, do not recommend. They claim to care about the children but they do not. They have favourites choose to be arrogant towards students. You used to be able to just go to toilet however they changed so you had to have a teacher go with you. I personally think that is disgusting and outrageous , as a girl that age can have period and may find it uncomfortable to have a male teacher there for them to finish. Adding to this teachers don't allow for girls to go to toilet when they need it aswell as boys. There is no privacy between the girls and boys toilets. The system just picks favourites and allows racists and bullies to have a second chance even after the most brutal comments and actions.There are kids going around saying the n word and receive no punishment the first time.

My child went to this high school and she got badly bullied. The teachers did nothing to help, and their headteacher is badly racist from what I heard from other parents and kids. Wouldn’t recommend going to this school.

I recommend, mental health is spoken of often, you don't get in trouble unless you've done something and that's on YOU, hygiene around the building is good, teachers are nice if you do what they ask and participate in lessons and issues can be sorted out easily.

The school it’s self is amazing, the teachers are so supportive, encouraging and constantly push you to thrive. The school is constantly improving to suit every students wishes, and help them gain courage around school. Academically, this school is great! Students and teachers are constantly eager to learn, improve and contribute in lessons and in other matters that will help improve their grades. In the past this school has had some bad occurrences however it has turned itself around! It’s a brilliant school - I had so much fun at this school, it pushed me beyond my comfort zone and encouraged me to gain my personality and confidence I now have today. I owe a lot to this school and the lovely teachers who made it like a second home to me; they constantly ensured the safety and welfare amongst the students. This school is not just a school but a family! Thank you to the amazing teachers and students that made this school a safe place for me, studying at this school was the best years of my life.

I went here for five years and it was a subpar experience. On the positive side, a handful of the teachers were super nice, kind and helped me improve a lot. However, the teaching in some subjects was insufficient and I had to teach practically the entire subject to myself. I got bullied during the earlier years and the “support” that I received for it literally just made it worse. A couple of the teachers in senior leadership had some sort of weird grudge against me and they’d glare at me in the hallways even though I was pretty much a model student? Among them there was also a lot of prejudice - once after an assembly about a fight the headteacher indirectly asked ALL of the black students to stay behind to talk to them, implying the that it was their fault. The school itself is really ugly in my opinion along with the uniforms. The school would also sort of peer pressure students into doing the sign of the cross everyday and to attend masses that they occasionally held even if they weren’t Catholic themselves. Overall, I didn’t really enjoy my high school years at MSM in terms of the school itself.

This school was horrible. Some of the teachers do not care about you or your mental health. Our science class was told off by the head for bullying our teacher when we were just making notes. Also, after a year 11 trip a teaching assistant made an innapropriate sexual gesture at a student at a trip and he was allowed to keeps his job bit only be around year 7s. However, when we raised a point about it we got told off. Do not allow your child to go there. The students encounter racism, sexism, bullying and just nasty behaviour towards them everyday. I regret going to this school and I'm not letting anyone close to me apply. They only care about their reputation.

Also, there was a lot of sexual assault on female students from male students and teachers did nothing to prevent that. It's awful when a teacher is looking at you while it's happening. It's vile.

You will not succeed in this school unless you are very popular or a bully.

I am a former student at Mount St Marys. I can vouch for what many of these students are saying. It has been years since I attended but when I was there I was subjected to/ had to witness racism, sexism and verbal abuse. Mental health was overlooked and sacrificed for Highschool representation, girls in my year were sexually violated by teachers and there was little to no repercussion (not until about 2-3 years after we had left). The school prioritises 'smarter' students and pays little attention to students in lower sets, resulting in many students just giving up on their studies and not doing well in their GCSE. Even though I have done relatively well for myself it took a lot of self-reflecting and therapy to help with the anxiety I gained from attending this school. Personally, I WOULD NOT put my child in this school. Go to Cardinal Heenan (or any other school to be honest) instead.

I remember one time I had blonde braids in with dark auburn highlights and I got threatened with exclusion by 1 of the teachers but there are other girls with Straight hair and they get to have their hair dyed bright red they arent threatened with suspension I

Its a bad school I remember in year 8 in 2019(not long ago) a substitute teacher miss richards said the n word in class in front of my class at the time because a black student said it and she sent him out and gave him a c4 detention and the school gives us detentions even if there is traffic I remember once I was late and it was bc the buses was on strike and the teacher told me "I dont care I still get to school every day when theres traffic " And im like thats because u have a damn car and I have to go to school by bus!!! Im disgusted by this school Im so glad am levaing also there is this stupid rule about no coats inside the school building even if youre 1 step away from outside Its absolutely stupid I dont know who set that rule but they werent in the right mind to set that dam rule
