Penair School

Firstly when my sister was in year 8 she was in art lesson and got stabbed by a boy in the leg. The school rang his parents because he got sent home as his punishment but failed to ring my mum and my sister had to ring my mum to tell her she had been stabbed. Which is strange because the school ring your parents and suspend you if you wear the wrong socks. Also a former science teacher touched my sister on the bum. Also in year 9 my English teacher called me fat in front of the whole class and I never got an apology. I want to know who let a elf eared narcissistic massive egoed suit wearing iPad kid former pe teacher who got fired to be head of behaviour with his Rudolph red nosed minion who in his own words is “severely dyslexic”. I’ve been so much better and grown so much confidence after leaving this school. Don’t come here. (Food kinda slapped tho)

This school is absolutely awful they don’t do anything to stop bullying and though they always go on about how important mental health it’s absolute bollocks. The school doesn’t care about how students feel just getting them inside their lesson even if they are in tears. Disgusting and humiliating. If you are thinking about sending you kid here DONT the teachers are disrespectful to students and parents and I have witnessed teachers putting their hands on students when that is not allowed unless the student is going to harm themselves or others. It’s run by a bunch of idiotic control freaks and in all honesty needs to be shut down.

I hated this fucking school, absolutely vile, the teachers never helped with anything, the only time they ever did anything I asked was getting me a dyslexia test and that's only bc my mum told them too, and what did they do when it come out I was dyslexic, nothing, no help at all, your child will not be cared for here😡

Poor excuse of a school who's staff are uncapeable of teaching students! It is the equivalent to a modern day borstal, students are punished for the most petty things sent to removal room where they must spend 5hrs sat in total silence, must read aloud the printed rules and then forbidden to move/ turn their heads/ rest their hands on the table/ cough and are not even allowed to leave for their lunch, this I brought to them to eat in the removal room.
Students are accused of lying if they are feeling un-well, or need to go to the toilet, on many of occasions teachers have made degrading and obscene remarks against female students. Totally unprofessional establishment who do nothing against bullying in their school. Would not trust them with dolls let alone my children! Avoid at all costs

Ex student here- don't send your child here.

The school does absolutely nothing about bullying apart from blaming the victim. They don't care about the students mental health no matter how much they say they do, SA doesn't get looked into, the quality of the toilets is atrocious and girls have been told they aren't allowed to go to the toilet no matter what unless it's break or lunch. Some of the teachers treat SEND students badly for things out of their control, the school is rife with vape and drugs, and the stress they put on us when talking GCSEs was WAY more than necessary. We had enough going on due to the school not helping us with the bullying and mental health issues so we took matters into our own hands and spent years being each others therapists and telling eachother to keep going - even though we were only children ourselves.

I knew one person who went to the school about their mental health and was told essentially to "get over it" and "stop being selfish think how you're making others feel" it's disgusting.

I spent five years miserable there and getting away is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Please don't let your child go there, find somewhere else.

I’m writing on behalf of my daughter at Penair school.The worst decision of my life is sending my child to this disgrace of a school.I regret sending her as the staff at Penair pick on my child and accuse her of doing things herself and I wouldn’t have even imagined of doing. They make it hell for her, one thing they’ve accused her of doing is drugs, my daughter came home crying and told me that she didn’t have any possession of drugs, they asked to search her bag and found nothing. That is only one of the things that’s she’s been accused of, imagine the other innocent students they like to temper with.

One student got locked in the toilet by a deputy head and the student couldn’t get out. A teacher also asked a student if she wanted to go out for drinks when she turns 18. This school is not be recommended for student going to a secondary school. As a parent I would like to pull both my children out of this school as it is a disgrace.
