DO NOT GO THERE
Horrible teachers, they care more about the school uniform then actual students. Makes you want to kill yourself.
Awful school.
Awful school to say the least. The kids were ruthless and the teachers would rather ignore all the problems than to even think about doing anything. The schools education is also very poor and they’re often understaffed. No clue how some of the teachers are even qualified and how this place is rated “outstanding” by ofsted.

Good and bad of Ricards lodge high school
Alright let's start on the good side. Ricards is a good school if you are aiming for a good education, but on the bad side the behaviour is discusting. Children are skipping class all the class, children vape in the bathrooms, and there is not any respect towards the teacher. Another reason if the teachers dealing with frienship problems. I currently go to this school and i have have a pretty serious friendship problem. My head of year (not saying any names) got me in detention (which was the right thing to do) but on the other side the girls did say horrible stuff to me or about me. I gave this school an average, because the reason to go to school is to study. Thanks to everyone listening to this review.

Awful school
Terrible school. Staff treated shockingly by the higher ups, they are rude, condescending, and cruel. No one seems to know what anyone is doing, the students do what they want, no discipline whatsoever. Do not work at this school they don’t care about their staff and will work you into the ground.
from a students perspective
when i was in this school it was probably the worst and lowest point of my life. after dealing with so many things i had gotten sick from an infection they then gaslighted me and blamed me for not being able to walk back to class while i had a fever and was dizzy was then admitted to hospital 💪🏻 also the lack of mental health help and also blatant homophobia in this school obviously my experience is gonna be different from a lot of students. OH yea not to mention that there was alot of comparing students in this school!
sucks
teachers won’t listen to you and will blame you and gaslight you

The teachers discriminate you for your ethnicity, especially the head of year Mr. Uddin. I was called ungrateful by one of the teachers when that wasn’t the case at all. Bare in mind my english wasn’t exactly great at the time and I wasn’t able to stand up for myself. A lot of the students would wear colourful socks and trainers but not get put on repost or told off because they were born here. The teachers have favourite students, even thought they promote equality. I was the black sheep in my year, it felt like it. I was put on report for wearing black trainers and accused of wondering around the school when I was really going to my locker because I came in late one morning. Some of the teachers treated me badly and were rude. There is a lot of bullies in the school but no one seems to care enough to do anything about it. Out of all of my teachers only two seemed to support me. I was moved to a lower class because apparently the teacher was from the same country as me. However I later found out that it wasn’t the case at all. I was moved down because of my english. When I questioned him about it he blatantly lied to my face and said he must’ve made a mistake and walked away. I can go on and on and on for day. I had an awful experience at the school. I’m only grateful for improving my english and for the friends I made.I tried so hard to make my teachers happy. A lot of the other students were going thought the exact same thing as me.
From a students point of view
The school doesn't have much resources and the students often have to wait until they are fully wet from the rain to go to the gazebos. They are not allowed inside the buildings during break or lunch unless they need to go to the toilet. In cases of bullying there are many bullies in this school and it seems that certain teachers like the bullies because they are 'bold'. Teachers are often very strict handling very small things such as if we are wearing our blazer or not but sometimes they don't do much about the big things. Other years got to do water fights during the hot weather at break but for some reason the other day a teacher stopped it even though the girls weren't getting very wet. Some teachers are nice and understanding but others are too strict. Many students get the impression that the teachers are nice only to the year 7s but then when they get to year 8 they start acting like their normal self. Some teachers aren't like that and act like they always do so I can't say all teachers.
teachers
it’s ok but the teachers need to put their feet in the shoes of the students (for eg not warming us up properly for pe is going to cause us tight muscles or focusing on one subject for a couple of lessons and falling behind on our teaching plan is going to get us lower results in our tests)
