IMPORTANT!

its is absolutely terrible, i am currently a pupil there and it is absolute breeding ground for gossip. all of room 8, pastoral and the headship team all share confidential stories and bully you into making certain decisions.

the science teachers are genuinely the worst teachers you will ever see, they don NOT teach you anything but instaid sit you down and make you copy off the board and occasionally pick on the least confident person in the room for answers.

the english department is atrocious, again it is a breeding ground for gossip. the english department rely mostly on younger women to teach in the school. the english department teaches all attempt to flirt with the boys in the classroom and give them top priority. i asked if i could go to the bathroom and my english teacher said no but soon enough after me a boy asked and she let him leave. this is unprofessionalism at its finest.
certain teschers have reputations of being a nonce mainly because they act up around younger girls and treat boys inequally. A male teacher in the DT department has been making the girls squat during form so he can take pictures and his excuse was “ its so i can show the school we are doing activities during form”

this school is the least professional school i have ever been to. the head teacher, mr rees, tries his best to scare everyone and is actually a horrible person. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!

A Nightmare: Avoid!!!

I cannot emphasize enough how utterly dreadful Pontarddulais Comprehensive truly is. From the despicable behavior of certain staff members to the toxic environment within the English department, this school is a breeding ground for bullying, gossip, and unprofessional conduct.

Let me begin with Room 8, where some of the staff members seem to have adopted a new hobby: bullying and gossiping about the very students they are supposed to support. It is disgraceful that educators, who should serve as role models, engage in such demeaning behavior. Additionally, to make matters worse, one teacher in Room 8 shamelessly shares personal and confidential student information with their own child attending the school. This level of unprofessionalism is absolutely disgusting and a complete breach of trust.

As for the English department, prepare for a subpar academic experience. The teachers' flirtatious behavior towards students is not only inappropriate but also highly unethical. These educators seem more interested in advancing their own agendas than in fostering a nurturing and educational environment. Students are often subjected to uncomfortable situations where they are put on the spot, enduring comments and remarks about their personal lives. This intrusive behavior has left many students with trust issues and anxiety, further exacerbating their negative experience within the school.

Considering these appalling circumstances, I strongly advise parents and guardians against enrolling their children in Pontarddulais Comprehensive. The overall lack of professionalism, respect, and dedication to education is alarming and does not provide a safe and supportive learning environment for students. It is essential to prioritize your child's well-being and education, and this school falls tragically short in both regards.

Spare your child the torment and seek alternative educational institutions that prioritize their students' welfare and provide a healthy atmosphere conducive to learning. Pontarddulais Comprehensive is undoubtedly a place where education and personal growth go to die
