From a member of staff
Not that good tretonts to staf and they give star awards to over achievers give chalangis to students that arae in year 1 it makes uther children that tried so hard to win to fail they crush the sole of the yung minds and they make shor to give the over achecers swords and to make it unsuspishos they give it to children that did acheav there best. To me this is sikoning and very,very rong.
GCSE
DO NOT come if you value your mental stability.
I am currently a Year 11 student at this school. I have been bullied since I was in Year 7. The school did nothing to stop it, and I have just accepted it. The PE kit is outrageous as they won't let ys wear our own leggings even though the school ones are see through. The skort is also very short and the shorts in them don't hide your underwear. The SLT are specifically strict especially the female one(IYKYK). Some teachers are powerhungry and others are just not nice at all. I have been told to jump of North Pier by one and was also called a lunatic by one. Please, if you value your mental stability do not come here. I used to be very mentally strong and confident before coming here and now I question my identity and question why I even exist here because of everything the school has done. I have experienced sexual harassment as well in this school, and there was no point telling anyone. My parents were brainwashed as they thought this school is the best in Blackpool, and they still do. They don't know what it has done. People also vape in the toilets so if your sensitive to that then you are in bad luck. The food is horrible, and I haven't been able to get support for my mental health either. If you tell them that you've self harmed all they do is ring home. The school just makes all my problems worse and to be honest I feel as if they will only change if I kill myself.
Racism
The school doesn't deal with racism well, it's common to be racially attacked every other day. Also, the uniform rules are outragous and many familes can barely afford the PE kit. Girls can't do anything on own clothes day because 'they're trying to get male validation' or 'you just want boys to look at you'.
