Crappy
not for the average smart kid
overcrowded buses, got looked down upon if you were late by bus, god forbid you need to piss during a class because they will make you destroy your bladder health just so you can learn pythagoras, teacher focuses are set on the stupid, reckless, or mentally ill kids. you’d better off throwing a chair once a week and getting a grade 2 if you want to be appreciated. oh, also a pedophile for an IT teacher

The staff in this school are very disrespectful, liars & bullies.
Its kinda bad
Im a student at byrchall and i can say, most of it’s ok but there’s just some parts that are horrible. Students are out of control in lessons and are never sanctioned well. The only decently run things are science and maths department. The school’s an absolute mess and is never cleaned. Student mental health is horrible and things like bullying and harassment are never tackled. The place is old and is never renovated, though they are rebuilding the school in a couple years which from the looks of the place should at happened at least 20 years ago. Teachers are horrible and in most cases are horribly strict and ignorant. The food is well made but is very expensive 95 pence for a radnor fizz. Kids go through money in days. Probably one of the worst schools in the area. Another thing is, the roads outside the school are extremely dangerous and unsafe for 11-16 with barely any common sense. Fights happen weekly and are never handle well. So to sum it up, its sort of bad.
Worst school in Wigan
Right can i just say the teachers target certain students and instead of getting to the bottom of a problem, digging around trying to figure out why they were doing whatever they were doing, they just scream at you. You have failed multiple students, going into college and the working life with undiagnosed learning disabilities because you don’t care about them. I do not recommend any of you parents with SEN kids or kids with mental health problems send them to this school the support is poor. The caretakers and cleaners get treated like slaves and teachers look down on them like they are some sort of peasants. The only well ran department is the maths department and even then compared to other schools is just average, humanities is appalling and you shouldn’t force kids to do RE, you need to get better teachers in that department. Science is also appalling, staff come and go like it’s euston station and CASP and PDL should not be a thing it’s a waste of time except from sex education and finances. Form tutors also failed to see eye to eye to their students offering little support. Everything is outdated and the facilities are poor, everything’s falling apart. Bullying is handled terribly and the SSC staff are useless, just nosey and don’t actually care or help. There’s a decent range of extracurricular clubs but for gods sake get rid of the bleep test in PE lessons nobody actually likes it. Hope this helps :)
Could handle bullies better
It's good because I do have fun however the school could handle bullies better

The school also made a appointment at my Dr's surgery without my permission, I als just found out that when a pupil gets isolation the pupil does not get a break or lunch.
THE schools a disgrace.
