St Richard's Catholic College

Wow you got some rules and this makes my blood boil a student in your school didn't have his shirt tucked in because he was a bit hot the caretaker pulled him up and said to him tuck your shirt in the boy was a little bit rude when he answered the caretaker the caretaker then said I'm gonna two sort you out which in my book that sounds a bit threatening the headmaster said he's got to write a apology letter the boy wrote a two sentence letter and apologized the headmaster said it wasn't good enough now the boy has got to write another apology letter and now has got a detention absolutely diabolical absolutely a control freak. And another stupid rule that you've got at your school you've got to ask to take your jumper off if you're hot. Brainwashing freaks and hear this rule you can't meet your parents after school at the beach with your school uniform on who the hell do people think they are. This isn't even my kid is my son's friend who is a very intelligent boy there's not one bad bone in his body if it was my son I would make a very big deal about this straight to the paper and other contacts that I know and as for the caretaker isn't your job is to sweep up the leaves and keep the school tidy and the bit of DIY that needs to be doing you absolutely Jobs worth I don't know how the parents can put up with pathetic rules yes you need rules in school and discipline but not controlled freak rules bully boy tactics saint richards I think you to change some rules personally if i was the student I wouldn't write another letter I would just take the detention on the chin surely that's enough punishment and I'll say again you control freaks!!

This school gets you good grades. There’s lots of things to get involved in and theyre always pushing you to do new things. It’s just very old-fashioned. They have lots of very stupid rules that have no reasoning behind them. Stuff like boy’s hair has to be above their collar, but can’t be too short. Someone I know got a fade, and was in community service until it grew out. The school puts teachers and prefects on the train to stop you from going on your phone on the train home. But how does that affect the school in any way? Also, they punish you very harshly for little things, and refuse to listen to your argument. I have been wrongly accused of things many times. Also, lots of the staff are racist or homophobic but lots also aren’t. I just think they need to look at all of their rules, and think ‘is this really necessary?’. Also i recommend looking at other reviews on here as they cover lots of other problems about the school as well.

I think this school is very good and most people come out with it with good grades, but they do make you work extremely hard especially in the first year, which can be quite stressful. The school also doesn’t handle bullying very well and appears to turn a blind eye to it. I also think rules on hair should be changed. But in the end the school does come out with good results.

Thus school gets you working hard. Very hard. From the minute you begin in year 7 until you finish you GCSEs you will be worked harder than ever. For some people this works and they do get very good GCSE results. However, people who can't take lots of pressure due to mental illness or even just because they struggle, it is hell. The school's punishment methods are outdated. If you are being bullied or have an undiagnosed mental illness or are struggling you will receive no help. Homophobic and racist teachers (not all of them are but too many are).

Overall, you will get good grades at the cost of your mental wellbeing.

You can guarantee to come out the school with good grades however also mental illness. The teachers give you intense amount of pressure and are strict on uniform and presentation however when it comes to mental health and bullying they take the wrong approach. Some teachers were very supportive however others were awful. There is many outdated rules like gender specific uniform, which isn't suitable for trans or non binary members of community. If you need to be pushed then the school is good but if you struggle with mental health then this school won't help you at all.
