The most honest review you will get of The TPCA
DO NOT send a kid to this school because this is not a school you want your child to be in. Firstly teachers are disrespectful and racist especially the head and deputy head of the school the school staff have no manners or boundaries to what you can say to a child and nobody would care if a teacher called you the N word . Secondly the school doesn't deal with harassment claims especially if you are not a white person. even if you are white the school doesn't care about its students whatsoever. thirdly fights break out pretty much everyday and there are police cars outside that school like 85% of the time and the school is really unsafe as gang members also attend that school as well. The school is so bad a student attempted to end his own life due to depression and I do not want anyone's child to try take their own life at a young age please don't send your kids their because the school doesn't even deserve a half star review their are only 2 nice people in the whole school and they are black every other teacher can not teach and I wonder how students pass GCSE

Honest Review, as a Upper Grade Student
I've been in this school from Year 11 to Year 13 (Studying; Economics, Business, Law). As of my experience, it's a great school to go to, teachers are attentive and even provide extra support by working extra hours for us. Great effort from their side, it has allowed me to improve, and especially, meeting the right people. It's all about company, the friends you keep an all.
The only downside are the Forced R.E lessons for sixth formers, which isn't that bad, just slightly inconvenient. I'd like to pass on my appreciations on a few great teachers who take the extra effort and make specialised topic revision booklets, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Waterhouse, and Mr. Moss. It's been a great journey, and I'm thankful for everyone who's been a part of it.

Meh it's mid needs help but bareable and not that bad
Needs improvement hygiene wise bc toilets are barely cleaned and there's a least one price of gum under every desk.
Teachers are alr but some need to realise its a 2023 rn and things are different and not enforce religious practices w no Catholics bc they were told its still a universal school and even as a Christian myself not Catholic I still see this. The work material is acc quite good and we learn a lot of acc useful things in geography and pshe and the rest of subjects tge work is good and tge right work but not always things well acc need in the future. The playground is rlly small compared to my primary and doesn't have a field which is kinda disappointing ngl. The cafeteria is cool and well laid out and the food is not that bad but still needs improvements. Bullying normally gets sorted out but there are acc a lot of teachers that don't display themselves comfortable to acc talk to abt certain things.

Don’t send you’re child here
If you care about your child in anyway, you would not send them here. Hands down the worst school, very disrespectful to students, and are irresponsible when it comes to bullying and harassment claims.I did not feel safe in that school for the 5 years I attended there.
Hygiene wise, the school is disgusting. I have seen myself, cleaners don’t clean tables or bathrooms with care. I have also seen another review that they force religious practices on children that are not catholic, and I can confirm this is true.
