good school before the new headteacher came in who hasn’t a clue what she is doing
Can be ok
The extracurricular activities are good with a wide range of things people can enjoy things in the drama dept and sort dept e.g. Whilst learning things in school I have occasionally been distracted and a couple of the teachers could be a bit more lively. The thing that upsets me the most os that they lock bathrooms which cause us to go in ones where people vape and the teachers don’t even do anything about the situation, we can sometimes find some disabled person ones we can go in, another thing is sometimes they don’t send you home when your feeling sick or ill once my friend threw up when we were in year 7 and she still wasn’t allowed to go home (we were at lunch at the time).
THE LATIMER ARTS COLLEGE IS HORRIBLE.
The Latimer college is the worst school I have ever been to in my life and if you have dyslexia or another disability that requires you to have coloured paper they won’t print it out on that colour it will forever be on white the amount of times my mum has called up to tell them to print it on yellow for me they said they would but never did and now they have emailed my mum saying they will not continue to print on yellow it will be on white and I will have an overlay and if I loose it my parents will be charged to buy a new one I still go to that school and I want to get pulled out I have only done one year there and I hate it already my parents have had to pull my brother out due to the school not helping and being horrible so if your thinking of sending your children there DON’T
Noyb
This school fucking sucks
I've been going to latimer for a few years and it has drained the life out of me. I've never been so anxious to go to school before. I used to be so happy but latimer arts has just made life so much harder. You can get a detention for not tucking in your shirt or wearing a hair bobble around your wrist! This school is fucking pathetic. I would recommend your child going to a different school. A friend of mine threw up and the school didn't let her go home just because she was off so much. That's not an excuse to keep someone who THREW UP in school. It's so strict. The students are bastards too. It's the teachers making students act this way. They drain the life out of each and every student. When there's an inspector in the building, they act like everything is perfect when it's not. They set too much homework and barely give students praise. They just waffle and aren't that nice. You're lucky if you even get a nice teacher. Please listen to me and pick a different school, it will help your child not become depressed or extremely stresed.

My school is alr but some teachers need better training
My Opinion
This school is great in a way but it has caused many people to want to attempt, it has caused me to have severe anxiety, depression and make my mental health go down, they lock some of the toilets at lunch so we have to either hold it or go to where everyone vapes, this school is good but there are problems with it, hopefully the new head teacher will sort things out.
I really really hate it there.
Absolutely horrible place. It has caused more suicide attempts than heroine. The staff are horrible. If sexual assault is reported they do nothing about it, its either left to the police who never do anything or they "have a chat with them."
Students get sexually harassed infront of teachers and nothing is done. You also get told off for having a skirt above the knee however the Yr 7s and 8s are only able to wear skorts for PE however every year above doesn't have to. Students are treated unequally, for example a girl i know is being bullied and shouted at in school by another student because she is trans, and teachers have done nothing but shift the blame even though it has happened right infront of them. They also only just started teaching consent to Yr 11 and Yr 11 only. Trans students are also not allowed to use gendered toilets and have to use the disabled ones of which there are only 5 of. We are also called prostitutes and slut shamed by staff for wearing make-up.
I hate this school so so much and it has made me and many other people feel extremely mentally ill so much some of us have attempted to take our own lives. I would love to see it go up in flames but unfortunately that is illegal.
