Shelley College

They are good at teaching us and help with any need we have

Teachers can be very unequal and very mean 😡 personal story btw but I got a full lunch isolation for something that was miniscule. They also can't handle bullying properly in my case and although there may be good pe resources and it can be fun at times along with the homework it's okay ,may I add teachers give alot of homeworks that could be due tomorrow

Bullying needs to be reviewed at this school as its still not being resolved, there is a over rate of pupils due to lack of schools or schools close which doesn't leave for pupils to have space in the social area or moving on corridors which is a safety issue if fire or other related issues occur. Autism, deafness, disability, medical condition are a up most concern too, they are not taken notice of, lack of care.

One of the worse schools ever! On multiple occasions now we have had to get into contact with Shelley College in regards to bullying. Each time nothing has been done about the situation, meaning the bullying has continued. I have 2 children that attend this school and due to the bullying that has continued to happen one of the children was that scared of going to school he was physically sick from worrying about what would happen. Overtime the bullying progressed in which one of the children was threatened by another student that they would face physical harm (being stabbed). Was anything done about this? NO! Copies of the messages were taken to school we were told that we would receive a phone call from a member of staff the same day but never received this apart from a phone call from the attendance staff asking why the kids were not in school, we were left with no other option but to take the matter to the police. School however knowing this still seemed unbothered. The other student was let back into school with no consequences still threatening the life of one of my children. having told a member of staff that they have been told by the other student that they would be killed they were told to write it down. Maybe if one of the children were to end up dead from this they may then take action. Absolutely appalled to say the least.

lower school is poor. a member of staff got me to write a report for an assault in school along with others who experienced the same thing and i never heard any kind of follow up from it. bullying went unnoticed a lot, year nines act like they’re still in first school, some new teachers (eg. patel) left soon after joining (i wonder why?), sexist/racist ‘jokes’ fly under the radar, corridors are tiny and it seems hilarious to shove eachother especially at the end of the day at the main doors, one way system doesn’t work and punishes you for being late when you have to do a lap around to get from rooms before year nine social area to rooms on the cut through corridor while you also can’t get through the mass of screaming year nines. please improve.

Would not recommend this school at all. Bullying is ignored and many pupils and parents let down including my children.
Many teachers very immature and treat pupils more like friends and classmates and no authority. Laughing/joking about when pupils are trying to learn. Teachers telling inappropriate jokes. Police always at the school. School only care about attendance and appearance. This is the only thing they make a big fuss about. If they did the same about bullying maybe they would get somewhere and pupils and parents wouldn't be let down time and time again and maybe them bullies would get proper punishments but this is too much effort for them so gets brushed under the carpet. School is not handled well at all, it's all over the place. Dinner time they run out of food and some pupils left without or have to choose dry unappetising food that is left over. Teachers push into dinner queues to get food but if pupils did this they would get told off! School buses are over run with naughty kids and absolutely packed. Many pupils let down...genuine children that need the help are not getting it because of disruptive pupils that play up get all the help and attention. Be naughty = get more help and attention. The school seriously needs a good inspection and investigating.

I am an ex student from Shelley college,the reason I am not there anymore isn’t because of my age,its about the bullying problem that the school have chosen to ignore while telling my parent that there is no more to be done and that’s it’s out of the there hands,now I have to go to another school out of my area and far for me to travel,it is the schools job to find this school for me,they have been unable to do so just like the bullying situation that is still going on to this day,I have spoken to other parents about my problem and they all agree that the situation is a disgrace and needs to be handled,I will be going to the local newspaper about it if the situation isn’t handled soon,the school said they did what they could about the situation by putting me in there “ssc” this was just a way to remove me from the situation till 3 o clock where it is “out of there hands” a head teacher saw me being robbed and little punishment to the student happened,do not send your children to this school because the teachers here care very little for the students welfare and more about there ratings,I have chosen to write this as I have had enough of the repetitive situations that keep happening while the school isn’t taking responsibility.

The pastoral team are awful Cover up dr*gs, s*xual assault and bullying incredibly easy. If the teachers try to help a student they are stopped by senior leadership. The Food is awful which is a Shame bc the dinner staff are great. This school is a great example of why outstanding schools can’t be trusted

Tbh the best part about this place is the kids here not anything else and my friend made me write this review

Teachers are good but the other members of staff like heads of years and whatnot are dreadful. They clearly favorite certain children and treat many good kids terribly. Some teachers fail to teach your child the needed material for exams and some don't tell you about work you have to do but then complain you haven't done it. Would not recommend.
