The Mosslands School

A very good school with a child friendly environment. All teaching staff were very helpful and paying their maximum attention to children. There were no bullying.
Students are also very friendly with each other. My son was very happy during his stay in Mosslands.
Thank you for all staff and students.

Searched my bag and took my drink off me on a hot day they didn't even give me a new drink

The staff many of whom have been there for years are so kind caring and passionate about the students. In this day and age when respect towards adults and discipline is scarce they do a brilliant job , really think we need to be eternally grateful to anyone working with young people these days .

Genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life was attempting mosslands, this school is a cesspool of all the worst things about the education system. The boys here are not given the attention they need to succeed in education and many students are simply given up on once they prove even slightly challenging. Of the top of my head I can name a few incidents such as fireworks being brought in and thrown at young pupils, myself at the time, countless incidents were students were suspected to having knives younger students being seriously injured or in some cases hospitalised. Ofsted deems this school as "needing improvement" it needs closing down plain and simple

I can’t have my brecky

Im a student there they let you have a speak and a say they have more freedom than lets say ST Marys its an old school but feels safe

It’s alright but I got bullied and nobody did shit 💩(Bru)

A terrible school, unfortunately a bad attitude from the top down with the exception of a few good teachers who are surprisingly & sadly no longer at Mosslands.
The numbers of issues we have encountered are too many to mention, however the most recent is 'no toilet paper ' in the pupils loo's.

They are expected to hold it in until they get home, I know of several children who refuse to eat breakfast and barely eat their just in case the need the toilet, this can be very distressful for children when they are forced to attend school due to their 'attendance record' procedures - even with a stomach upset knowing there is not toilet paper for them, the certainly don't think the teachers or the head of school would accept this as "acceptable" - so why should our children.

We have friends who have kids in other local schools as well as schools in other parts of the UK and not one of them have the same issues.

So I am requesting to address this matter very soon or I will be taking this much further.

In year 11 now and looking back, this school has served as my secondary school and throughout the whole experience I believe that the school as a school is fine and the teachers are OK with some great ones that really help me become more educated. What brings down the rating with this school is the students who have made the school disgusting and unsanitary almost everyday of me being there. Not to mention there is a terrible culture and mentality in some students which makes them act violently and in a bullying way to anyone who isn't directly friends with them. I personally do not know how the school can fix this other than getting a lucky roll on the yeargroups for that year, which seems unlikely as every year I have seen enter past me in my time there has been just the same as the last with the same attributes that are just horrible to be around.

Do not go to Mosslands. This school is awful. The teachers don’t care and turn a blind eye to bullying. The school is a dirty and a mess and kids smoke in the toilets. The teachers cannot control the classes and you never learn anything because of constant disruptions. I would never recommend it to anybody !

it was a nightmare learning here. had my art folder filled with homophobic slurs and nazi imagery which just got the response "boys will be boys" which was like... oh haha ok i didnt know boys were all meant to be anti-semetic 😊 but seriously the staff is just one of the first problems, don't get me started on the cafeteria where we were quite literally given food poisoning and were served burnt food which 7 times out of 10 had hair in it :D i was fortunate enough to have some sane teachers who genuinely cared here and there like my english and maths teachers, but **** ******* on the other hand... "never try to get help with your learning difficulties" is all i'll say on that matter. talking to her is like talking to a brick wall. its a shame that This is the best school in the area. people have no option but to settle for hell instead of Turbo Hell like oldershaw or st marys. hope they get their s##t together soon enough 😊

What a terrible school, everything is treated horribly and so everything is broken, the toilets are covered in shit, people smoke weed in the bathrooms and don’t get me started on the staff. The receptionists are all rude and try to ridicule people who come in, and quite a few of the teachers just hate children. My old English literature teacher bullied me specifically, I had adhd and couldn’t concentrate in her lessons because she didn’t make them interesting and I would occasionally chat to my mates who were next to me, she would refer to me by my last name and ridicule me specifically. If someone else said anything it would be “shut up” which is still no way to treat children, but if it was me, I would get “how very dare you speak in my lesson? You I’ll never get anywhere in life. You disgust me” she was also pretty short and everybody hated her.
Even the other students make the school worse, they all bully people for being anything but quiet and even if they are quiet they get bullied for that.
Not to mention the horrible excuse of a cafeteria they had, the flapjacks would be tough as stone and all the food was reheated or frozen
All in all don’t go here
