The Spires College

Appalling school, the only students who will do well here are the ones who are already academically clever to fit inside there box. If your not then your worth nothing and made to feel that way, senior staff bullied my son which caused severe mental health problems, which they already new he was suffering with severe anxiety and adhd, made false accusations against him and once we proven they were false by winning an independent panel review they still would not take any accountability. The outcome was that the principal’s decision “was not one a reasonable person would make” which couldn’t be more fitting, the principal is a narcissistic liar who enjoys belittling and bullying children, which was obvious to the panel at the review.
Same goes for the rest of the senior leadership team especially the deputy head, who had already previously had to apologise for defamation by dramatising a false story to make fit and intimidating bullying behaviour towards a 12 year old boy, this was 2 years prior and I believe this is one of the reasons why the continued to make my son’s life hell. My son’s support worker was fantastic but unfortunately she privately called me and admitted being silenced by them as they treat staff the same way, also told me not to follow on because she will never fairly reinstate, she has it in for him and that’s that. You only have to look at the staff turn around each year. Vile people who should not be allowed to work with children, Although we proved all
Of the above and the victimisation, the director of the education team at Torbay council had a meeting with me and my son and agreed he was treated appallingly and that many changes were to come for the school, who have been formally warned to follow guidelines.

I mean it's okay. I'm able to get support for my issues (not all, but it's always something) and pursue my passions which I really appreciate. Teachers are a lot better than they used to be, judging by older reviews. Obviously some are worst, but most are okay.
School food is pretty good. Especially the chips. Love the chips.
I wish we didn't have to wear uniforms because I feel like a lot of the students would feel more comfortable in their own clothes (within a reasonable dress code) but other than that it's a pretty alright school I guess.

Do not attend this school if you're child suffers from anxiety or is anxious in any way. They do not support like they say they will, instead they treat the individual as a naughty child.

I hate every single thing about this school. My life has gotten considerably worse every single day just by going to this school. It has made me despise my existence.

Miss Tyler is the best

It’s a very good school, some work could be done with support of mental health and safety of others and how they handle bullying but apart from that it’s excellent

Struggled to come in when i moved but now in inclusion and things are better.
