Peebles High School

I think that the janitors must be scared to go into the toilets because I don’t think they have been cleaned in the year and almost 5 months I have been to this school except before the drama club showcase when they cleaned the senior girls toilets and put posters over the graffiti but that was only for the parents to use. One of the cubicle doors hasn’t locked for months and the hand dryers have never worked and they are also rusty. I think the last time the rest of the school was cleaned was for the parents evening. My English teacher didn’t do anything when rubbers where being thrown across the classroom at me and my friend. I few weeks ago two of the S1s got mugged at the park by some of the older students and very little was done about it. Twice I have no teacher for an entire lesson. One of the dinner ladies thinks my name is summer. My fashion and textiles teacher shouts all the time and keeps listening to peoples private conversations. They hired a substitute who had been sued and then they fired him because he had been sued again. There is another substitute who doesn’t notice anything and spends the entire time playing wordle and watching origami videos. My chemistry teacher keeps saying if this small girl in my chemistry class and this tall girl in my chemistry class where on a see saw the small girl would be very high up and I don’t think she relieses how much mental pain she is causing both of the girls and it doesn’t even help anyone understand what she is trying to understand. My school is terrible.

As a current student at the school, the head team care more about obtaining badges such as LGBTQ+ gold rather than providing a nurturing environment for all students. the school is awful tbh lol

this school is horrible i’m a pupil there and the amount of mysoginy all girls face from staff and male students alike is disgusting. then there’s also the problem of gang violence with people beating eachother up with metal poles, stabbing and a large portion of the school was burned down by members of one of the gangs. it’s at the point 25% of pupils don’t attend due to fear of gangs. bullying is also a major issue as teachers are aware and neglect the issues including homophobia, sexism and people being picked on because of neurodivergency. the mental health system is also disgusting as students who open up to councillors about self harm are told “everyone has that problem” or it’s “just hormones” going to school everyday and not knowing if you’re coming back with a stab wound isn’t something teenagers should have to worry about. a student (i won’t say their name for privacy) was begging for help saying that they want to kill themselves was sent home and later attempted to kill their selves a few days later. the school is neglectful to students and is not a safe environment. don’t come to peebles high

My little brother was bullied and the school never offered him a safe place to get away from bullies or even to tell the bullies to stop cause they believed calling the bulling in to tell them off would cause more bullying
