The Thomas Adams School, Wem

Teachers are bullies and not inspiring or helpful to children.

Classes are too big making it difficult for children to concentrate or engage.

Also lots of bad behaviour and out of control

THIS SCHOOL IS WONDERFUL I LOVE IT HERE ITS AMAZING ITS THE MOST BESTEST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD

very bad school, teachers/ pastoral support do not care about kids mental health and only care about there education some nice teachers but very few most are very rude and disrespectful. no one is allowed to go fill up water bottles even in hot weather as they do not care.do not let any child go to the toilet unless they beg or threaten to leave the room. they also do not treat children fairly, e.g. well behaved students do not get noticed whereas badly behaved students get treated like they have special needs because teachers are scared of how they will react towards them. someone i know got called annorexic by a assistant head teacher because her shorts were rolled up and she is “way too skinny” and another got called a slag by the HOY because here PE shorts were rolled up, which is extremely disrespectful towards children. Another thing is when it is freezing cold weather /snowing/ rainy etc…coats r jot permitting on school sites and if not taken off they are confiscated. in conclusion this school is not a good school unless u want to be harassed/ bullied and told off for wearing a coat or having shorts rolled up.

My experience at this school is just unbelievably appalling. The majority of staff are absolutely vile and some shouldn't deserve to be teachers; e.g. Make students feel horrible about themselves for getting a question wrong, I and other students have been told that our opinions and needs don't matter and that we should shut up also get detentions/linc for stating opinions, Really crappy help when it comes to bullying/mental health/home problems, medical staff is hardly ever in and when they are they refuse to help students. They have ridiculous rules such as; you're allowed coats but you cant wear them, cannot be in the building before school/break/lunch, "you need a toilet pass", If you miss one detention (could be anything as little as missing stationary) you have to go to a half an hour after school, incorrect tights, not allowed to leave school in pe kit (when you have pe at period 5), bus codes etc... The school is also extremely in-exclusive when it comes to religion, every assembly is about the Christianity faith and nothing else. The state of the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, un-fixed tiles out side of school (have been like that since 2021), The stench in some classrooms make you gag and the scenery on the yard and courts are disgusting and filled with litter (also I don't see the point of having a yard if your only going to use it for 2-4 days of the year). A lot of students in the school are struggling with depression and take drugs, drink alcohol, smoke weed and vapes (reminding you these are 11 - 16 year old's we are talking about and the fact that they have such dark thoughts and think that these things are a way to get rid of their problems is REALLY saying something about the schools team not reaching out to help these students, and although some of the reasons of the students feeling these ways isn't entirely about the school, the staff isn't doing anything in their efforts to help). An addition on the staffs attitude is that they yell at you thinking that they are getting a point across when in reality its just down right rude and not helping towards the child's attitude back and creates a down fall in their behavior, also when teachers ask students a question and the students answer back its apparently "rude" and "juvenile". (The only source of help the students get are 2 people who are in a couple times a month but that's it. When students are literally having a mental breakdown pastoral will pretty much stare at you and tell you to suck it up and go back to lesson and when you refuse BECAUSE YOU'RE LITERALLY CRYING they will have a go at you and write an e-mail home about you refusing to go to lesson and being childish). There is tons more I could say but this was just the main things on my mind, I want to see some changes in the attitude of this school. Schools are supposed to be a safe and comfortable environment for children NOT a dreaded place to go and be unsupported. We as students need to see a change in the school because you as staff may think your improving when you really not. I really hope you read this and for once take mine and other students opinions and feelings into consideration instead of us having to write a review just to fix it. Thank you in advance.

Had a big bullying and clique problem. My children struggled with misunderstandings with various teachers with not being taken seriously. Students problems relied on being liked by the teacher to be taken seriously.
