Mediocre school not bad but not amazing bad food good teachers
It is a decent school my brother used to go there my brother said he enjoyed I never attended the school so obviously I can’t give a great detailed review but what he told was the teachers were kind and passionate and truly loved teaching I met his teacher and she was so kind and sweet she is the most passionate teacher you will ever meet she was always smiling and she loved children not in a weird way the secret was great and it seemed impossible for people to escape or enter without permission it it very religious there is a church right next to it it isn’t very diverse my Brother was the only black person in the entire school not black teachers or students they force students to pray even the non religious ones but that doesn’t matter to my family as religious people they forced Christianity on to people but once again as a Christian it doesn’t matter to me but to the non religious people it probably isn’t great but I don’t know and the food is terrible my brother showed me the lunch which had hair and toothpaste on it. It is a very low budget school and doesn’t deal with bullying or racism well many of the students vape and kiss on school grounds they only did fire drills once a year and it was never serious they didn’t want scare students so didn’t warn children about dangerous things no intruder drills at all. They didn’t teach the children times tables or spellings my brother often struggled and didn’t get any help.
I hope this review helps.
First of all my brother was once hit by a teacher my friend ear was cut a bit because of a teacher dragging him by it. They teach completely false facts a random old man was able to get into the school so yeah great security. They used to force me and others to pray even though they say it's "optional". I was once bullied and ridiculed by a teacher for not being able to tie my shoelaces. The staff were awful when I was there and still are it should've been shut down years ago.
As a former student, I can say this school was great! I have so many fun memories and had amazing teachers and friends!
Some information about the school- it was a double intake school (meaning 2 class per year) but due to a lake of students it now has 1 class per year. Quite religious as it is C of E but in RE we learnt about other religious and how to respect them! (Which is very important and we even once went to a synagogue)
School facilities- Quite a big school with 14 class rooms (if I can remember right), a big library, lots of space for one on one or small group learning with a TA, big hall for assembly and lunch, 2 playgrounds (1 for infants & 1 for juniors) with LOADS of play equipment in both! (I believe they got more after I left) and I average sized school field for PE!
Education- I came out of the school with 99+/120 in all my data which was amazing and has lead to be being in higher classes in secondary school!
School trips- I had so many fun school trips throughout the years including day trips and 3 over night trips! (All thought due to covid things might have changed) Overnight trips were a bit expensive but my parents got give 6+ mouths to pay it before we went!
Food- In the summer we could have a hot meal or a brown bag (cold food such as sandwiches ect.) And in the winter we had warm meals and at Christmas we had an amazing roast dinner!! The food was good and there was a vegetarian option and a jacket potato option for students how didn't like the main option!
Teachers- Nothing bad to say! All my teachers were kind and amazing! 1 teacher and 1 TA per class ( at least) The old head teacher was not very good at fixing up the schools leaking problem but from what I've heard the new head teacher has solved that!!
Overall would highly recommend!! And I know I sound like a member of staff trying to hype up the school but I promise I am not !
