Tredegar Comprehensive School

Rubish shouts at your kids and you

I feel as if the school doesn't truly understand mental health, I have a pass to the mental health and well being room in school and sometimes need to go to see my head of year to stay there for a lesson. Said head of year told another pupil that we (me and them) were picking and choosing when to use said pass. I've been criticised and put down for my mental health even though I'm diagnosed and in medication. The school is also no help at all with bullying/harassment. Once I reported an incident and they said that they would talk to the pupil who was involved, they never did. Because of this, most days I cry when I wake up knowing that I have to go to school as I get picked on quite frequently, I see now that there's no point in wasting my time to report it to the school as no action/justice will take place.

Atrocious school for keeping children safe while in their care. Comprehensive bullying policy that is purely words and is not followed by even the author that put it together. If issues are raised pupils become targets for bullying from teachers themselves in the form of passive aggressiveness. Would not recommend to any parent looking to place their child. Bullying is rife and perpetrators are allowed to carry on at will with no consequence other than a day or two at home. Fearful that the only way this situation will ever be addressed is when something serious occurs to some poor soul. Last estyn inspection was in 2016 and this needs to be addressed and a new inspection would be very useful. Poor trust with many senior teachers as found to lie profusely to cover up situations.

Teachers friendly
Work challenging
Fun place to be

not a good experience
