Newfield Secondary School

This school is shit it cares more about giving Kids detention then giving kids education they would rather have kids in all day isolation + a half a hour detention or even a hour not letting them leave at normal times then have kids in their lesson over a minor issue in my 5 years of attending they have never shown any care to anybody’s mental health or how there kids are doing the rules are pathetic. Its a rat race they only care about how the school looks an how the kids are presented then the actual kids themselves the food is decent but quite shit it’s like 1.25 for one tiny slice of pizza which is normally rock hard or covered in tomato sauce they give hour detentions for 2 kids being ina cubical even if one of the kids is crying eg anything like that they do not Care for the kids every half term they bring in a lot more silly rules like walking around with your pencil case to make lesson time longer asif it doesn’t take 2 seconds to get it out ur bag they never listen to kids wen kids are wrongly given detentions the communication is horrid a lot of times the school is wrong but never accepts it it’s like all the teachers are big baby brats

this school is a nightmare for me, everything was fine apart from the fact that bullying between students is allowed however this was clearly visible to all teachers but none barley did any action in regards to.Also when i went to this school my english was tough,But my teachers would love to put me down by asking me questions about the lesson in front of everyone,knowing for sure that i don't know how to answer!

this school should establish a subject called manners to teach their children! because raising a generation that don't know what manners is should be very imbaressing.

This school isn’t what it seems. Its learning system is Average and could work effectively. I say ‘could’ because the teachers are absolutely dreadful. My mental health went down the drain as I went to the school. I spent half of the year crying in the toilet because I dealt with bullying, shouting, scolding, pressure and racism. And the school knew about it! I was in a depressed state and having fear of going to that school. My insomnia got worse and the teachers don’t care about the children at all! It seems that the only thing they care about it the money. It’s 100% horrid! Horrifying! NEVER send your kids there unless you want to be moving to a new one next year!

As a former student here at this school I can confirm that the methods used by the school are inadequate to what you would want for your child. If your child has SEND related support this is 100% not the place to take them. This school does not host a supportive, accurate nor funded SEND team. The staff here are under equipped to meet the needs of your child. Please do not be fooled by their approach, they may deceive you on paper but from personal experience the support they decide to provide will eventually be revoked by a higher power.

Needless to say the support here is not person centred but in fact tailored to meet the schools/staff needs and not your child. The school neither succeeds in the provision of care as the utilities are non-existent. Having identified this flaw students most often are kept to the school's regime, if your child cannot handle busy environments and needs care 1-to-1 then this will most often be a lacking factor in this school.

Overall the lack of support for your child will undoubtedly lead your child down a terrible spiral of decline. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) have no regard for the students that fall under the SEND umbrella despite being advertised as a 'diverse' school. Instead of upholding a duty of care, I and others have witnessed children simply crawl under the fence and leave the school grounds due to a sensory overload and lack of support. This is something the schools fail in the most, the safeguarding of children is not the top of their priorities. Prepare to have your child excluded with countless meetings with staff and nothing but a dim horizon for your child's future. Having left this school I am in the firm opinion that I have not only exceeded the school's expectations but that of my own. With the right support and education your child can experience the best of what's to be provided in the education system especially with the right support.

Brilliant teachers except a few years ago when I left I repeatedly got in trouble for someone else causing everything and every time I got the blame even though clearly they were in the wrong.
