Do not go here. Bad school
They do nothing for pastoral care. My daughter was so badly bullied she tried to khs. Not a good school
the whole thing
new rules.
No privacy with the cameras near maisonettes, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Other years get blamed for things they haven’t done, and take the consequences.
Teachers talk to students with little to no respect and expect much respect back.

Bad school in general
Toilets are always full of people vaping and there is no help if you get injured. They will just ask you to write a statement and do nothing after that. Lazy as hell school in my opinion
Help for students with mental health problems
I have a son that goes to the school unfortunately he has slight mental health problems and I am trying my hardest to get it sorted I have asked to get some help from the school,the staff do not want to do anything about it, and when we speak to them they keep giving us false promises. We spoke to them again face to face two weeks ago they promised they will help my son one week down the line that Help has stopped they don’t want to know.
Its alright
The school is alright, honestly the pastoral team dont do much for mental health or bullying. The teachers are alright, most of them are really good but there are a few that arent very nice.
Okay I suppose
Okay school I guess but teachers are either really good or absolutely horrible and the school really won't do much to help with mental health or bullying. (They removed the time put cards students with certain problems got to let them take a couple minutes to calm down this year wich is already backfiring)
wouldn’t recommend
experienced multiple counts of racism and the school’s teachers / headteachers did nothing to help if anything made the situation worse, schook food went down in quality and started tastinh like cardboard and the dinner ladys claimed it was because of “inflation” :/
Was promised a counsellor/ therapist during school hours yet never saw them my whole time at costello why? because they never even existed. If you love your kids dont send them here, sounds harsh but its the truth :(
