Teachers can be rude to students, punishments and rules are not consistent. Ignore struggling students until behaviour becomes unruly then do all they can to get that person removed.
There are too many students for the available space. Senior Management is weak.
Burgate school was a great experience for my children. However, the hygiene could use some work.My oldest daughter went to the toilet during lunch, and there was rubbish wrappers on the floor and the toilet sets where dirty, id hope to see toilet seat covers since they are more hygienic!
It’s an okay school if you don’t have any special needs
The school itself is average, the resources are okay, the campus is generally in good condition and most of the staff are really nice. However if you have any kind of special needs or mental health issues DON’T go, I needed counselling during my time there and the people were from Salvation Army so they weren’t properly trained and didn’t give me any of the support I desperately needed. I also found out I had dyslexia when I was in year 11 and they told me because I was smart they weren’t going to put any support in place and that I didn’t have “real dyslexia” because I got good grades. I also had a couple of friends who had learning difficulties and the school did nothing to help them or make them feel welcome.
Overall, I would say that if you just want an average school then Burgate is fine however if you think at any point you will need extra help then I would consider somewhere else
Very good school, including quality of teaching, communal areas, culture and more. Teachers feel supportive and the school environment makes you feel welcome.
