The Mountbatten School

Pretty dreadful school. Majority of teachers are unhelpful and do not do well to help underachieving or SEN students, and two were fired in the last three months for being pedophiles. They seem to care more about uniform - this affects the girls very negatively as the pedantic teachers punish them for minor things such as light makeup and skirts being 1mm too short - and the overall image of the school than the actual education (and don't buy into the whole royal family/Lord Mountbatten BS, it's no different from any other comprehensive!) Security is evidently very poor as a few weeks ago two students from another school were able to sneak on site. In terms of the students, they all either smoke weed or vape in the toilets and in general are poorly behaved - the school is also on the Everyone's Invited SA list. In terms of positives, the school's outdoor areas are actually quite nice and well-maintained, however students only have access to them for probably only 1 month of the school year anyway. Parents, please don't send your child here. The time I spent at this school was probably the worst 5 years of my life

terrible. teachers are bullies who clearly weren’t very popular at school take out their anger on children. i was banned from the canteen and the lunch ladies got told they weren’t to serve me because i was wearing a pair or earrings that i said i would give to him once i got food. on my leavers day an slt teacher assaulted me by shoving me out of the tennis courts and dragging me, then denying it to my mum by saying i shoved him ( he is bigger than 6’0 and a gym addict and im 5’0 so i don’t think that’s possible for me to shove him ). they’ve also shouted at my mum the day after she left hospital for a major operation. don’t get me wrong some teachers here are actually here to teach and help the students but unfortunately it is a minority. There has also been a past of multiple teachers being p*dos in my 5 years here which is very telling.

Do not send your children here! This school cares more about how they look to the outside rather than caring about the students education and wellbeing. They tell you off for the smallest things wrong with uniform and have teachers standing outside the 2 toilets that are open mostly all day. Even when the toilets aren’t shut there is still only about 1 that’s open because of how tight they are on letting you go to the toilet(once a term) i think it’s ridiculous.

Teachers are mean unless your parents work there, they make it seem great but once you are there it’s crap! They care more weather you wearing mascara than actually educating you, I never behave badly, I am polite, I do my homework yet I am treated badly by teachers, I always ask my parents to move school but unfortunately they do not let me. I hate this school more than anything and learn nothing DO BOT GO HERE

Some teachers especially in the history department should not be allowed to teach ( if that's what they call it ) . These poor kids are demotivated and thoroughly miserable where is the support and encouragement they deserve!!

absolutely not as a student i’m in major beef with my mum for sending me here. half of my teachers are nice but some of them are terrible and not to mention Mr elvidge (absolute fitty though) mate taught my tutor absolute shit and is too busy underlining the title on the board then teaching us anything. they care more about my skirt being too short and having bracelets on then my education. please don’t send your child here unless you want them to experience a modern day concentration camp 😜 xx

Terrible school. More focused on uniform than actually giving children the education they deserve. Teachers are patronising and talk down to parents and also lie.
They refuse to admit there are any problems with the school - no hot food at lunchtimes, fights and bullying to name a few. I regret sending my child to this school, no wonder there’s such a high turnover of pupils.

Writing as a parent - Do NOT believe the image that they present. It is just that - an image. Bullying is swept under the carpet and ignored. Children are not properly supervised leading to regular fights. They eat where they want so kids will have food thrown at them - teachers don't care. My child is only in Year 8 and has witnessed fights - one so bad that children were taken in an ambulance. But you won't read that anywhere. Another of my children had a fire extinguisher sprayed in their face but the school didn't even let me know or follow up to see if she was O.K. Their motto 'We care, We respect, we achieve' is only true if you look on social media or if they are currently filming. A few brilliant teachers are mixed in with some who don't like children at all. Oh, and you must do your homework but no teacher will look at it!! DIRE.
