St Edmund's Girls' School

If i could give this place minus stars i would. St edmunds girls school was and still is as tragic as it always has been. There was maybe 2 members of staff that were genuine about taking care of the students well being and education. I lost one of my parents not long before joining the school, and i was bullied for it by some of the students. I had one main bully, who i reported multiple times for verbal and physical abuse and nothing every happened. She continued to abuse me and make up lies about me, i went to multiple diffrent teachers and they all said i should write down every insident in detail with dates and times to gather "proof" so i did. For about a month every day mulitple times a day had taken notes, when she tripped me, shoved me, pulled my hair, smacked the back of my head, threw things at me. And i brought it to the head teacher mrs bull, she became head teacher during my time there. And she was terrible, probably still is. I brought her my collected evidance and she effectivly told me to deal with it myself by telling my bully to leave me alone. That got me smacked about and pushed about a bit. Which was witnessed by teachers and when i asked for help they told me i shouldnt start fights. I was miserable at the school. I self harmed many times and had bandages around my arms and legs most days. No one ever asked. I tried to commit suicide multiple times, all unsuccessful. No one cared. I even gut put into a program for troubled youth because my dad was an alcaholic. And i didnt want to go, neither did anyone else in the program, so we never really spoke about out problems in the group. Which annoyed the teacher running the group and she put pressure on us to talk about our issues when we wernt comfortable. She even complained to the headteacher that we didnt want to talk about our home lives. But the thing was, the only reason we didnt want to talk about it is because the teachers gossip about the students. And anyone who got put in isolation at anytime can confirm that you hear the teachers discussing the students and the privet chats theyve had, i heard teachers make fun of students who begged for help with their mental health. I even heard myself being mocked about my "so called depression." For years this school ruined my life. And even now as an adult i cant belive how poorly every little thing was handled. Teachers drank on the job, they didnt care about stuggling students. If you didnt come from wealth or if you didnt imedietly understand the lesson you were cast aside and forgotten. I did my GCSEs at a diffrent school. Because i couldnt keep going to a place i was abused. And i passed all of them with flying colours. I did really well with teachers who acctually cared about my wellbeing. Who helped me get a therapist. One teacher from my new school drove all the way down the road to find me and tell me he'd call social services for me if i needed help at home. Real teachers care. St edmunds didnt. I would suggest that absolutely anyone, no matter who you are, do not go to this school. It almost killed me. Id hate it to hurt anyone else. Please find somewhere else to go, somewhere you can be Happy.

was at this school whilst it changes to WSE, was an incredible school and pushed us to do our best but had no care for our complaints. boys in my year were rude and misogynistic, the head of year had several complaints given to him from us on regards to the boys and never did anything. a lot of us felt like we weren’t listened to outside the classroom.

This school on one had was a great school with amazing teachers and where I met my best friends for life but on the other certain parts just weren’t right first off they would ask for your opinion and then do the opposite they don’t care about anything other than grades and money they don’t listen to the students like they say they do they make up a bunch of lies for you to go there then when you are in school you realise how bad it is but when you try and leave they convince you to say they also don’t care about bullying it’s a big thing in this school but some of the teachers would do anything for you and want the best they are so caring and kind I felt like when the world was against me they were there supporting me

All this school really cares about is appearance and money they don’t give a damn about students apart from some of the nice teachers the maths department has some of the loveliest teachers but everyone struggles so much in maths. With students appearance they are very strict apart from when it comes down to the lgbtq community where they can where whatever they like and have their hair multicoloured whereas others cannot it is discriminatory against straight students to be honest as well as the boys being told off because every little thing they say is “homophobic” but I think that is a problem in society as well as school so yes this school is good if you are gay lesbian trans etc.
