Beware
Please do not send your children here under any circumstances. It is a huge risk. This school is unbelievably deceptive in their techniques to attract students. 95% of the teachers are sub-par and give preferential treatment. The headmistress is almost completely delusional and chooses to ignore ongoing issues with the quality of teaching, as well as rampant bullying across the school. The quality of teaching is ridiculously poor. The students are bombarded with irrelevant homework, after lessons filled with complete silence when certain teachers openly state that they simply cannot be bothered to teach, then proceed to fly under the radar by teaching well, but ONLY upon inspection. Other teachers are passive-aggressive, shaming the students in class over minuscule, irrelevant questions if answered incorrectly. To be specific, the incapable teachers in the Science Department have consistently failed to educate students with incredible potential. Their incompetence is destroying futures day by day. Northwood College beware.
Poor on the whole
This school has a very clear and obvious double standard: where many pupils are often treated as "less than" in the eyes of SLT.
For the majority of the time I have spent here, I had to watch students endure SLT forgetting/mispronouncing their names (despite the students' vast contributions to the community and consistently correcting SLT). In addition, I saw the prominent preferential treatment of certain students (who were far more likely to avoid punishment for the same actions). Finally, the headmistress has an inescapable pro-royalist agenda; to the point where she expects students to sing the national anthem and gives assemblies endorsing the Queen (conveniently overlooking the Queen's links to colonisation).
However, there are still a few positives about the school. Most of the staff are extremely supportive of students and (more importantly) keep their political agendas private. There is also a great student-teacher link/ratio. The food is ok as well.
