Shenley Brook End School

As someone who went to the school in secondary and finished sixth form there a few years ago, I’d say there are a couple very good individual teachers but overall the school lacks any kind of well-being support. Many of my friends struggled a lot and the system completely failed them. They did absolutely nothing when my friends were h@rming themselves despite knowing about it, and none of them realised that one of my friends was extremely autistic and refused to accommodate her and instead treated her poorly. One of the teachers was fired a number of years ago for holding child p0rn. They didn’t do anything about bullying, despite it being prevalent, and there were regular stampedes in the corridors from the lower years.
That being said I enjoyed sixth form more as I was taught by some very good teachers.

In my opinion, Shenley is a horrible school for many reasons. They try so hard to make it seem like were some big community but we aren't. Being happy here is so hard for a lot of students.Especially since there's racists, homophobes, sexist people, bullying, harassment, body shaming etc.

Even though these may get reported I think the school does an awful job at handling these issues. They had to do a whole surgery JUST for them to decide to put something in action. Says a lot.

They have a system for these things but they dont follow it. Trust me an N2 or N3 doesn't make an impact. If these things are happening, bring in the parents, give suspensions. Dont let it slide its not fair for anyone.

Another problem is how unfair teachers can be. Of course coming from a student it sounds like im just complaining but its true. Again in my opinion, teachers pick on the wrong things to focus on. I dont know why me wearing a bracelet or SCHOOL kickers somehow affects my learning? They're all about expressing ourselves but we can't do that. Jewellery can help students to identify themselves and some just because it looks nice and neither Is an issue. If you dont want to see it then at least set a limit to how much a person can wear not ban it completely.

Another problems

- overpriced food
-lack of understanding for students
-harsh uniform policy
- nothing being done about bullying
- creepy teachers not being fired
-not hearing out students



Anyways this is all, please for your children's sake dont send them to Shenley.

have a nice day.

Shenley had a few pros, they had teachers that were good educators, and they care about your grades but MANY cons, as a former student I experienced a lot of racism/micro aggression not just from students but partly from teachers that co-signed a lot of what happened. Not to mention I was sexually harassed by another student at that school and reported it, yet none of it was taken seriously. That school was a hell hole for many people of colour, and it is swept under the rug a lot. They have their priorities wrong, they focus so much on appearance (how students look, hair and uniform wise) rather than tackling the real problem at that school which was sexual assault/harassment and outward racism. Shenley is not the place to send a child of colour. I’m choosing to share this now as I have had time to process my time there, and when I reflect I think about all the negative experiences I had rather than good ones due to the severity of what happened to me.

Bieng in this school was an experience I would like to forget, funnily enough I now earn far more than Amy of the teachers in this school, each of whom told.me I would amount to nothing

Mr Clarke was the only good thing about this place.

Everything is good except from the following:
-Year group bubbles tend to touch and mix up during transit time(not on purpose).
-Hand gel is absolutely disgusting 🤮.
