Not that great.
Not a very good school, don't help when needed smelll of vapes throughout the school, cameras on some busses don't work, teachers aren't overly nice and sometimes shout for no reason,sometimes we get things put on us that is unfair. If the bell has rung then straight away you go to student support because for exame you were going there at break but was getting food if you go there after the bell they are like "get a note from the teacher" and the teachers sometimes say 'no' or see how you feel after the lesson but I need to go? Toilets are disgusting. Food everywhere, unflushed toilets etc. Overall not that great but there are some good things about it for eg. Food is quite nice although very overpriced, very fun house activities to enjoy and take part in, lovely school trips and a few more things.
Disappointing
Very disappointed with lack of care for students. Extra help, when requested has not been given. No one to ones with teachers regarding students progress.
I don't know what people are thinking
I think it is a lovely place
Awful teacher
The head food tech teacher called me names for the duration I was there such as fatty,incompetent,lazy,ugly and repeatly mocked and verbally degraded me
school has no idea how to deal with students with extra needs.
the entire time i was in this school they refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong with me. i was never able to learn anything because i never got the help i actually needed. i got diagnosed with autism when i was in year 10 and not a single person acknowledged the diagnosis. none of my teachers even knew until i told them. the only time the school actually offered to do anything to help was when i was already about to leave the school, not to mention all the things they offended to put in place for me made basically no difference; banning me from the only place i actually felt safe (student support) and offering to remove one lesson from my time table (the one i had already dropped months ago).
one time my appendix burst and i wasn't allowed to go to the office until i ended up throwing up, even then i had to lie just to get them to send me home.
the entire time i was in that school almost my entire year group hated me. i was bullied constantly and what did the school do about it? absolutely nothing. even teachers made me feel horrible about myself, i got yelled at for nothing and spent alot of my time crying. one time i tried telling someone that a teacher was yelling at me for no reason and upsetting me i was just told "thats just whats shes like" glad this school takes me seriously.
tl;dr
take your children to this school if you want to destroy their mental health.

Disappointed with school
Very poor school. Very disappointed on all levels. I would love to send our student to a more nurturing school. Smell of vapes through out the school apparently. Certain teachers are not respectful to students . Shouting at students (young adults) for example shows poor self control in a teacher. Results at end of year not good. One particular, teacher gave a very bad mark. From what I can gather she has taken out her dislike on student via report. Student has mentioned her numerous times over the year (in a poor way). If a student is failing this should be bought to parents notice earlier and not at the end of the year.
so shit
such a shit school teachers don’t care about your education only about how you look, if you have piercings or jewellery it’s taken off you and you can’t even wear a coat? assistant head is so bad👎👎👎
Do NOT recommend
This school is horrid they go on and on about mental health but pick on us when they give us to much work or put loads of pressure on us if we don’t get something. They say they are preparing us for the real world but in what world will we have a detention, sanction or be fired in a work place because we have a necklace on. They have a go at us and check our uniform when it’s OURS not theirs, it’s OUR education not theirs so why does it matter if I have a short skirt, it’s not an invitation we’re children so why are we told to fix our skirts because the length is inappropriate when really people thinking and making it inappropriate are the problems. They say that they do everything to help try and stop bullying but they don’t they will do an assembly and hope that changes everything when it doesn’t.
very bad
school treats people unfairly to many racist people ho never get in troble
children
children too old very sad
My review
Bullied infront of various teachers (albeit not too harshly, just verbal), mostly in lessons, for about a year without them even saying anything.
Its okay I guess
I went here for 5 years and my mum was trying to get me an autism diagnosis, after 3 years of the staff gaslighting myself and my mum they finally assessed and referred me and I got a diagnosis. It was delayed by the actions of the school and I didn't get diagnosed till I was 16, This was only a few years ago.
As a direct result of the schools negligence I failed all but 1 of my GCSEs because I didn't have the support I needed.
If you are Smart the will put too much pressure on you and will say its "for the good of the school" and if your not smart most teachers will blame you for them not being able to teach you.
If you have mental health issues while at this school, good luck because all they will say is "What do you have to be depressed about?" and if you have anxiety its "You have nothing to be anxious about?" and some of the staff claim that teenagers cant have mental health issues.
Got bullied for all 5 years and nothing was ever done, I retaliated once and my teacher told me to "Control my emotions".
I did make some good friends who also got screwed over by the school and we are still friends to this day so that's one good thing I guess.

Terrible education
This school is honestly terrible. As a year 11 student with disabilities I have been subject to years of bullying and abuse, to which nothing was done about. I was the one punished when I lashed out. This school is plagued of hypocritical teachers, petty and ridiculous rules and terrible student support. Not once in my life had I felt like I belonged, was happy or safe in this school
Review on Robert Mays
The teachers preach about mental health then set loads of homework and if you have a problem it will most likely be ignored some teachers are really nice but the language teachers chase you if you have a coat on a rainy day
Excellent
Great teachers, support throughout.
Don’t go unless your clever
Awful school unless you are a grade 9 student.
More concerned about coat when it’s raining then bulling and behaviour. Assistant head is awful

Not great ig
breaks are so short like together they’re not even a full hour and they expect us to queue up with the entire year eat the food socialize go to the toilet fill your water bottle up all in 20 mins. teachers can also be pretty horrible especially the language teachers, they used to chase after us if we had our coats on.
Teachers are awful at RMS
Some teachers in this school are awful. They don’t let students wear coats. They treat students really badly
