The Gregg School

i love greg school it makes me happy and sad when feobe is teacher pet

A great school, beautiful listed grade 2 building and grounds. Friendly teachers, small classes (smallest is 5-6 students), great 1-1 support. I didn’t have to do languages or PE which was a bonus (had free periods or 1-1 during these lessons) the entrance exam was easy and overall I enjoyed my time there. Learned way more than you would in a state school. No bullying as far as I know (it’s taken very seriously) only 1 occasion I heard from a teacher that a “bully” got suspended and apart from that no other students were unkind or a problem. Lessons are also short ranging from 40 mins to hr 10 mins for double lessons. Also y oh get a longer summer break (extra 5 days to 1 week extra) this was all back in early 2000s so it might’ve changed since then and also wasn’t taught woke stuff like other schools such as LGBTQ or BBH (British black history) etc which is good as we don’t need our kids learning that crap!

My child has been threatened to get stab by a girl and teachers did nothing they have only just got her out of the school, but she has been doing this for months. Horrid people. God forbid her.

The education is mostly enjoyable, classes such science have practicals often although if your child is slow learner this school might not be the best choice as expectations are quite high. This school also has a slight problem dealing with bullying, the most punishment a bully will get is a slap on the wrist and a call to parents.

Teachers where all great with some minor exceptions, always gave there all to motivate (pep talks where legendary)
Homework’s towards year 11 where excessive, however they thankfully stopped towards the exam seasons to focus on exams, school resources where great, food was ok, school has a confusing layout, especially with the main building, in terms of extra curricular activities, they are vast in some places and limited in others

Amazing facilities lovely teachers full of nature... well done 👏 ✔

This school, despite its claims, is nowhere near as special and caring as it claims to be. Bullying isn't handled well at all and at the moment, teachers break COVID rules that they expect students to follow which sets a bad example. The teachers are also very average, no different from state school teachers.

The headteacher is condescending and rude towards staff members and as a result of this, it is not uncommon for staff to leave because of this.

The grades that pupils get here aren't better than local state schools. In fact, many state schools actually have better results than The Gregg School which is disappointing to see.

The school gets good exam results and has many good teachers however it has many issues
- many of the PE staff are sexist and body shame
- bullying isn’t always taken seriously
- some teachers are over strict or have favourites
- students don’t get to choose if they want to do triple science or not
-some teachers cross COVID bubbles without wearing PPE
