Scott Medical and Healthcare College

Absolute dung hole… my darling daughter was sent here to what I thought was a class school… but no instead she was treated worse than a lower class peasant in the 1600s. I am devastated to write such a review on a place I thought was up to par.. do NOT send your darlings to this CRAPPY school I WARN and URGE you!!

It was my last day recently and can finally say that there is one senior staff member who picks on and bullies not only some students but also a younger teacher even though this teacher is the kindest and most helpful person in the school and I have learnt more from her than I have from older and more ‘experienced’ teachers in the year she has worked at smhc. This older staff member has shouted at this teacher infront of us in the scott suite and obviously treats her differently than staff in her own subject, and this is why I am not going to sixthform as I do not want to be around negativity like that due to her being mainly in sixth form and hope my fave teacher is okay<3

When I first started at college back in year 9 it was brilliant. The teachers were nice and the school was small so everyone knew everyone. When I carried onto sixth form, our head of year said that most of us is going to fail and should look for apprenticeships or start the year over with a BTEC course. Some teachers were so inconsiderate of the troubles of travel. I used to travel from quite far away via train, at the start it was okay but when sixth form started the college stopped supporting student with the minibus. Bear in mind that the train station from the college is just over 40 minutes. So, I made the effort to wake up extra earlier, pay more for my train ticket so I had enough time to walk to college. I used to wake up at 5am to get into college on time, and as you know the college finished quite late. Meaning that I missed my train and I usually have to wait about an hour for the next train in the cold, normally I would not even get home earlier than 7pm. When it got to practice mocks I asked my teachers for extra help because I was soo exhausted from the travel, but they said I should find a college closer by. They give me such a bad review that my new college did not allow me to restart my A Levels so I had to settle with a type of BTEC which I cannot study the course I wanted to apply for. I knew what I wanted in the first year of attending this college but they broke all my hopes. When greenshaw took over the college they completely destroyed the college, half our teacher left so some of our classes didn’t even had teacher, so it’s understandable that many students fell behind. I just hoped that students would get more support but it just got worse over time, then in less than a month half of the year group left.

Terrible school spreads false information about how you get lots of medical experiences but it is exactly like a standard school but with far stricter rules because they care more about your uniform than your grades. I am in year 10 and the only ‘medical’ experience I have had is watching someone do cpr. Most teachers have favourites and can be rude to people they don’t like. An example of a school rule is if you are told to roll your skirt down twice you get sent straight to IR where you sit in there for 5 lessons and an hour after school but it doesn’t go both ways so if a boy is told to tuck his shirt in twice he does not get sent but obviously the girls would get one which is silly overall just a bad school

I left after 2 weeks it’s awful making you line up to check your uniform every morning what and if you don’t have a pen your in iso that’s just wrong

i found it a dreadful experience

I absolutely love this school! So enthusiastic and caring. However, since being in greenshaw learning trust many small petty rules have been made. In Scott college you used to be able to express your true self but now the rules do not allow this. The ethos ** *** ******* is no longer in place however it is still a much butter school than most.

Brilliant school feel safe going there everyday. Push me to the best of my ability and help me achieve. Never been to a school where every teacher knows all students and respects one another. Has brilliant teachers and small classes really help could not recommend this school enough.
