The Forest School

im yr 9 and its just horrible

Im in year 10 and i student at this school currently please do not bring your children here i suffer with bad anxiety and im autistic. The LSA support department help but until u get to Year 9-10 they don't help at all in fact they make my anxiety worser saying "GO TO LESSON OR RTL" they say that everytime i come to LSA without me even saying why im here. The food is shit as i have got food poisioning here before, the playground is small and horrible, most of the teachers are bad and don't help with mental health, the classrooms are dirty, the students misbehave evry lesson and the teachers can't even control them, they don't help with bullying because i have been bullied for a few years and i have spoke to the school but they don't do anything about it. This school has made me come home exhausted and depressed especially when i would get bullied all the time because of my anxiety and my health issues i hate this school and im so glad im leaving very soon. (My brother also goes to this school he has only just started and hates it, the teachers also give you detentions for no reason my mother also agrees with all of this) Please i beg you don't send your children here!

Pretty bad the some of kids can be quite a d at times and the staff are just annoying and give out dentists for no reasons like if they were giving out free food for everyone.I also asked alot of fellow students about if they think the school is good or not and most of them said it isn't very good.The only good thing about it is the sport activities and the some of the students everything else's is pretty bad

A decent school - not terrible but not outstanding. Average infrastructure. Alright teaching quality ( sciences can be questionable). Really good PE facilities. Racism has not been an issue, neither has been bullying. Can’t comment on homophobia but as a school, had the standard life moral lessons of PSHE. If you base the school on academic quality, you would be surrounded by poorly performing students who may have the potential but cannot be asked to perform. If you are wondering what environment your son could be surrounded by - 10 would be smart-smart, 15 smart but meh, 50 average to poor, and the rest are set 8. Management is questionable - headteacher was compared to Stalin if that gives you a view. Overall, not an exciting school due to the tight rules set by ***** ****** but but good banter made me attend everyday so 4/5

Great teachers,great facilities overall perfect for anyone, highly recommend
