Stokesley School

Ignoring the 'motto' this school holds, it would be more realistic to have an extract from 'Mein Kampf' instead, as the place is treated more like Colditz then an actual school, with personal agendas from the staff being taught instead of important things (e.g mortgages), the minority being treated like the majority (and being given extra rights, being above the rules of the school). If anything, Colditz would be more desirable then this poor excuse of school, as at least then we'd know that the N*zi's watching over us were actually being paid to do so, instead of being lazy fat pigs pretending to be teachers.

This school is appalling, save yourself and don’t go here. The teachers and students behaviour is awful. For example, a student beating up others until their bleeding because they have difficulties in learning to others. Major bullying problems from students and staff that will be ignored. The staffs need to care more about the look of the school rather than the education for the students. Long list of equipment that is needed and checked every tutor time, even headphones for chromebooks. My head of year once came into form and had to check everyone’s shoes after the new rule about shoes came in. New rules that come in every year that the students hate making them rebel against the rules. Negatives given out for the most ridiculous things, like if you don’t have 2 pens or pencil it’s a negative (even if u have one of both.)
Stay away from the safeguarding team, pastoral team and the lighthouse, they say they will happily support you but in reality they don’t. Multiple suicide attempts from students in the school and most sent to hospital. Nothing was done to support these students. I was in need of support during and after the 2nd lockdown and every time I got someone the school did everything the could to make sure I couldn’t have support. Even when I kept it private.
A teacher killed himself just after the 2nd lockdown and the school dealt with it horribly
Do not go here it’s a disgusting place **** * ********** *********** who only gives the attention to the better off students.

There were good staff but they all left probably due to realising how much of a shit hole it is.

Comrades, you have been working very hard. First, I express my profound condolences to the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army [PLA], commanders and fighters of the armed police force, and public security officers and men who died a heroic death; my cordial sympathy to the several thousand commanders and fighters of the PLA, commanders and fighters of the armed police force, and public security officers and men who were injured in this struggle; and cordial regards to all commanders and fighters of the PLA, commanders and fighters of the armed police force, and public security officers and men who took part in this struggle. I propose that we all rise and stand in silent tribute to the martyrs.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words.
This storm was bound to come sooner or later. This is determined by the major international climate and China's own minor climate. It was bound to happen and is independent of man's will. It was just a matter of time and scale. It is more to our advantage that this happened today. What is most advantageous to us is that we have a large group of veteran comrades who are still alive. They have experienced many storms and they know what is at stake. They support the use of resolute action to counter the rebellion. Although some comrades may not understand this for a while, they will eventually understand this and support the decision of the Central Committee.
The April 26 Renmin ribao editorial ascertained the nature of the problem as that of turmoil. The word turmoil is appropriate. This is the very word to which some people object and which they want to change. What has happened shows that this judgment was correct. It was also inevitable that the situation would further develop into a counterrevolutionary rebellion.
We still have a group of veteran comrades who are alive. We also have core cadres who took part in the revolution at various times, and in the army as well. Therefore, the fact that the incident broke out today has made it easier to handle.
The main difficulty in handling this incident has been that we have never experienced such a situation before, where a handful of bad people mixed with so many young students and onlookers. For a while we could not distinguish them, and as a result, it was difficult for us to be certain of the correct action that we should take. If we had not had the support of so many veteran party comrades, it would have been difficult even to ascertain the nature of the incident.
Some comrades do not understand the nature of the problem. They think it is simply a question of how to treat the masses. Actually, what we face is not simply ordinary people who are unable to distinguish between right and wrong. We also face a rebellious clique and a large number of the dregs of society, who want to topple our country and overthrow our party. This is the essence of the problem. Failing to understand this fundamental issue means failing to understand the nature of the incident. I believe that after serious work, we can win the support of the overwhelming majority of comrades within the party concerning the nature of the incident and its handling.
The incident became very clear as soon as it broke out. They have two main slogans: One is to topple the Communist Party, and the other is to overthrow the socialist system. Their goal is to establish a totally Western-dependent bourgeois republic. The people want to combat corruption. This, of course, we accept. We should also take the so-called anticorruption slogans raised by people with ulterior motives as good advice and accept them accordingly. Of course, these slogans are just a front: The heart of these slogans is to topple the Communist Party and overthrow the socialist system.
In the course of quelling this rebellion, many of our comrades were injured or even sacrificed their lives. Their weapons were also taken from them. Why was this? It also was because bad people mingled with the good, which made it difficult to take the drastic measures we should take.
Handling this matter amounted to a very severe political test for our army, and what happened shows that our PLA passed muster. If we had used tanks to roll across [bodies?], it would have created a confusion of fact and fiction across the country. That is why I have to thank the PLA commanders and fighters for using this attitude to deal with the rebellion. Even though the losses are regrettable, this has enabled us to win over the people and made it possible for those people who can't tell right from wrong to change their viewpoint. This has made it possible for everyone to see for themselves what kind of people the PLA are, whether there was bloodbath at Tiananmen, and who were the people who shed blood.
Once this question is cleared up, we can seize the initiative. Although it is very saddening to have sacrificed so many comrades, if the course of the incident is analyzed objectively, people cannot but recognize that the PLA are the sons and brothers of the people. This will also help the people to understand the measures we used in the course of the struggle. In the future, the PLA will have the people's support for whatever measures it takes to deal with whatever problem it faces. I would like to add here that in the future we must never again let people take away our weapons.
All in all, this was a test, and we passed. Even though there are not very many senior comrades in the army and the fighters are mostly children of 18 or 19 years of age -- or a little more than 20 years old -- they are still genuine soldiers of the people. In the face of danger to their lives, they did not forget the people, the teachings of the party, and the interests of the country. They were resolute in the face of death. It's not an exaggeration to say that they sacrificed themselves like heroes and died martyrs' deaths.
When I talked about passing muster, I was referring to the fact that the army is still the People's Army and that it is qualified to be so characterized. This army still maintains the traditions of our old Red Army. What they crossed this time was in the true sense of the expression a political barrier, a threshold of life and death. This was not easy. This shows that the People's Army is truly a great wall of iron and steel of the party and state. This shows that no matter how heavy our losses, the army, under the leadership of the party, will always remain the defender of the country, the defender of socialism, and the defender of the public interest. They are a most lovable people. At the same time, we should never forget how cruel our enemies are. We should have not one bit of forgiveness for them.
The fact that this incident broke out as it did is very worthy of our pondering. It prompts us cool-headedly to consider the past and the future. Perhaps this bad thing will enable us to go ahead with reform and the open policy at a steadier and better -- even a faster -- pace, more speedily correct our mistakes, and better develop our strong points. Today I cannot elaborate here. I only want to raise a point.
The first question is: Are the line, principles and policies adopted by the third plenary session of the Eleventh CPC Central Committee, including our three-step development strategy, correct? Is it the case that because of this rebellion the correctness of the line, principles, and policies we have laid down will be called into question? Are our goals leftist ones? Should we continue to use them as the goals for our struggle in the future? We must have clear and definite answers to these important questions.
We have already accomplished our first goal, doubling the GNP. We plan to take twelve years to attain our second goal of again doubling the GNP. In the next fifty years we hope to reach the level of a moderately developed nation. A 2 to 2.9 percent annual growth rate is sufficient. This is our strategic goal.
Concerning this, I think that what we have arrived at is not a "leftist" judgment. Nor have we laid down an overly ambitious goal. That is why, in answering the first question, we cannot say that, at least up to now, we have failed in the strategic goals we laid down. After sixty-one years, a country with 1.5 billion people will have reached the level of a moderately developed nation. This would be an unbeatable achievement. We should be able to realize this goal. It cannot be said that our strategic goal is wrong because this happened.
The second question is: Is the general conclusion of the Thirteenth Party Congress of one center, two basic points correct? Are the two basic points -- upholding the four cardinal principles and persisting in the open policy and reforms -- wrong?
In recent days, I have pondered these two points. No, we have not been wrong. There is nothing wrong with the four cardinal principles. If there is anything amiss, it is that these principles have not been thoroughly implemented: They have not been used as the basic concept to educate the people, educate the students, and educate all the cadres and Communist Party members.
The nature of the current incident is basically the confrontation between the four cardinal principles and bourgeois liberalization. It is not that we have not talked about such things as the four cardinal principles, work on political concepts, opposition to bourgeois liberalization, and opposition to spiritual pollution. What we have not had is continuity in these talks, and there has been no action -- or even that there has been hardly any talk.
What is wrong does not lie in the four cardinal principles themselves, but in wavering in upholding these principles, and in very poor work in persisting with political work and education.

The school was once good, but sadly fell down hill in more recent years. Sad really, as was once very good. Don't learn anything here anymore as the staff aren't good.

Overall, a bad experience. Although a majority, students are treated as a minority. Students at Stokesley School are constantly unhappy with the unfair treatment by staff, and are increasingly annoyed at the rules imposed on them. Students are more than often treat as three year olds instead of their actual age, and no real opportunity's of responsibility are given. There is a small student voice, however it is not widely known about and it does not make any significant, if any, changes to the school. Therefore the power, profit and image hungry CEO and his little goons, AKA the head teacher and her senior leadership team alongside the group of incompetent enforcers that patrol the corridors as if the place is a prison, impose unfair treatment and constant negative viewpoints on the children that attend this school. The teaching quality at the school is mixed. Some teachers are utterly incompetent and unfair and some teachers are incredible and an asset to education. But the constant annoying depressive behaviour at this school, leads to a uncomfortable environment for children.

There are many good subject teachers at this school. However, the shear incompetency and ridiculousness of leadership team members, AKA the school police, and those in charge of this education institution is ridiculous. The school is run as a business, profitable to the trust, instead of a place of education meant to inspire young generations. After many years in this school, and constant bad experiences, ridiculous rules and visible mistreatment from power hungry staff members, I am forced to give the school this review and recommend you do not send your child here.

A painful hell hole. Full of bad teachers, a bullying problem (including from staff), food that is sickening and a management focused only on control wanting to make the school into a factory, with students being nothing but tools for profit

The school is nothing but psychological pain, filled with incompetent teachers + management, terrible lesson planning and execution and an awful culture based purely on control (due to terrible policies, such as a forced signing of a pledge, in a desperate attempt to regain control over students)

Just don’t it’s abysmal

Turned not very good. Dinners consistently made me feel sick although completely sanitary, upper management are incompetent and often highly biased, but some teachers are OK.

Terrible staff cannot handle any issues or control lessons, students are all rude and dishonest and lessons are not well planned or well executed. I do not recommend sending any child here

Stokesley School is an awful place to send your child to school. Staff do not handle bullying problems very well and the students cannot behave themselves properly. Overall terrible school and the rules are beyond ridiculous.

Teachers can’t control the classes. Some teachers have issues with well behaved students. Heads of year don’t help students that need help until the last year possible

The majority of staff are very good and clearly work hard however the students are the issue, there is violence regularly in and out of schools making it not a safe place for me, this is through no fault of the school or staff, but is an issue.
