Great school!!!!
Great school!!!!!!
I love this school.
I've been here for years. I'm in year 11 now. I've been very happy and safe in this school. (Great kind gift team and chapel)
Very spiritual, religious..
Nice,friendly,helpful members of staff..
When I was in year 8 I had problems with my health and my friendships and they've been very helpful to me and I felt safe and happy. They helped me a lot..
I'll be crying when I leave here..
They protected me with autism and health conditions..
Teachers push and explain and teach you very well ..
(These maths teachers are good:( Mr Fitter,Mr Hodgson )
(English: Miss Hayes, Miss Eakin)
(TA: Mrs Gleeson )
(Lucky if yous get these staff..)
New Resource Provision is great!!
Staff are Kind and Nice..
Students are great up there..
It's a great place the RP is..
Very helpful to me..
Protects us from emergencies.. bells go.. they make us go to lockdown.. then felt all safe and sound..
I feel happy and safe here..
Love it!!!

Worst school ever
The worst school is I have ever seen and experienced. Nearly lost my only daughter because of the careless teachers and staff.
My daughter has been bullied since long time ago and didn’t see any changes for last couple of years.
We have made our decision to move her to better school.
Couldn’t believe it a 13 years old child thinks of taking her own life and nothing has been done.

Haven’t excluded a boy after 2 years of harassment and threats of rape
Disgraceful school will not expel a boy who has talked about raping my sister and stalked her for 2 years rubbing up against her legs at assembly and think my sister is being over dramatic even though he is already on the sex offender register. Exactly the same school as when i was there, they don’t punish the bad kids but expel them right before gcse’s so that they don’t bring down the overall aberage grades of the school
Not bad but requires changes
Good school but prioritises minor rules like:
hair tied up, skirt length, tights, shoes, blazer wear, bag, pencil case and shirt tuck requirements

Absolutely shit school, doesnt give a fuck about mental health whatsoever. Lied to ofsted. Dont know why thus school is still a thing, if i was the head teacher i would burn it and blame it on the kitchen. Would never send my future children there (if its still around) even if i had bad brain damage xxx
DONT GO
It is the worst school I have ever been to, half of the teachers don’t even help with personal issues, issues to do with learning the lot of it don’t go unless you want to be in a literal bad environment.

Spiritual religious school..

It is a very safe quiet place for autistic students..
Very useful Interventions..
and I feel safe in this school.. I'll be so sad when I leave.. I've also got great friends here..
Protects us really well from fires and emergencies..
Any serious emergencies they'd put us into lockdown and we'd all be safe after it.. They will push yous to do better.. (encouraging).
Good teachers who explain things very well..
