A Heartbroken Parent's Experience With a School That Failed Our Son
I am deeply disappointed and disgusted by the way my son has been treated by this school. For a long time, he has experienced ongoing bullying from other students, and some teachers and I feel that the school failed to properly to protect and support him. To make matters worse, false accusations were made against my son, and instead of ensuring a fair process, he was prevented from attending the final weeks of school and has been excluded from attending his prom. All over an incident that happ...

don't even bother coming here!
when i had mental health days off, i would say it's because of mental health and be honest, however they would mark it as unauthorised landing my mum in trouble with the council and fines and being threatened with court. they care more about jewellery, uniform and appearance than your education or wellbeing. the moment your in that dump you're being controlled, no freedom what so ever. even though they'd like you to think that - it's pretty much the complete opposite. they have a separate unit w...

Horrible school lacks support in every aspect

Don't go here
I go to this school and it's terrible I don't recommend. When my sister was in year 8 the school made girls do cheerleading for p.e while the boys do parkour. If you ask me that was sexist. Don't get me started on the gum problem if you go here don't put your hands under the table. Also there are terrible staff (some are really nice and I like). Bad hygiene because it's always dirty

The school uniform rules are unreasonable
I find it inappropriate that the school focuses more on students appearance than education we are thinking of moving my child to another school beacuse of that. My daughter goes to school to get educated not to be pressured by interrpetations of my childs appearance. I find it pathetic that staff can't find sympathy for students growing up in this generation. The rules that they set in this school is like a giant boundaries being set on students. There are worse things to worry about like the c...

Bad safety school
The fact that they put all students lives at risk with asbestos and only did something about it far to late Same meal everyday in the canteen too, no variety They are awful as well with mental health, some people really struggle and they just ignore it like nothing will happen

this place should be shut down
this place is actually hell, i’m year in 9 and the staff do nothing about slurs, harassment or bullying. there is literal asbestos in the c block. do your child a favour and send them to ANY other school in the area.
