Bullying.
This school is an absolute joke when it comes to students been bullied. The teachers and staff will lie through their teeth and come up with all kinds of excuses to get away with not dealing with the situation properly, so the bullying continues with no consequences, but if your child has had enough and retaliates then they are punished immediately.

Appalling
Terrible school, horrible experience, don't send your child to this school. Vandalism is high, lots of fights, don't come here
Failing School
Since COVID the students in all years have been out of control. On their way to and from School they throw stones at people's windows, knock bins down, vandalise property, their language is absolutely disgusting. They have no respect for the local community. This School has lost control of discipline, it's about time Ofsted carried out an unannounced inspection and put measures in place. The teaching staff and headteacher aren't fit for purpose and are failing these youngsters.
Horrible
SENCO don’t do a lot to support people unless you physically show symptoms. The school barely do anything to deal with bullying or mental health issues. Some teachers are alright. Some others don’t seem to care. If you are higher than Y10, they care, if they’re below, they don’t!
Parents view
Evidence given to. The school of drugs dealing, kids not being in lessons and serious behaviour issues, school clubs activities on with no point of contact ie no reception... Main gate open no lock down...

They are not aware which pupils are in, send emails to parents to show ''concern '' while the child is in school. In case of fire, they wouldn't even check if the child in question is safe as he or she would be considered as absent. It is absolutely unprofessional, shocking, and appalling approach to safeguarding in schools!
