This is like hell
Well firstly the teachers are bad you can't even use a single word of humor otherwise you're in a lunchtime detention. Pastoral doesn't give a sh#T about how ur mental health is. The PE facility is all full of themselves thinking that they are the main part of the school. The only part of the school I like is a new teacher in pe Im never chosen to be with a partner but he is always there for me making me smile every pe lesson making the school life less misserable. Most teachers don't even explain the work we are doing and how to do it even if ur confused about a question all they can say is c1 c2 and all of that. Classrooms are rancid like in geography there's green plants poking out a wall from the outside. History teachers are the worst constantly pointing you out and when u get summin wrong they say it very mean sometimes making tears coming out me eyes cos I'm not friends with a lot of people and I'm a deeply depressed person. Bullying is to another level can't go in a single day without worrying of someone shoving me or pushing me. Everyday I walk in and get screamed at from my form teacher most of the time. The RS block is the most serious thing sweat down my teacher is out for me always screaming at people. A few people in maths are nice but not all of them Im very intelligent in maths and my teacher always makes me feel happy and praised. Overall don't put ur child in this school I regretted coming to the school the first 6 months through this school will js make ur child's mental health decline and turn out to be a depressed person living on the dole.
Ok school but don't expect miracles
It is your average comprehensive school with good bits and bad bits. Don't expect anything excellent or out the ordinary. The teachers are mostly good except a few discriminatory ones. The pastoral team is terrible they do not care about anything other than themselves there is genuinely no point them being there. The headteacher is the worst thing about this school he has the communication skills of a child. He is very full of himself! However the SEND team are wonderful 😊! The overall school is very small meaning there are limited opportunities and students have limited choices at GCSE also. The school buildings are very old, grotty and in my opinion unsuitable. There is probably the same chance you will get bullied as at any other school BUT it is not dealt with at all unless the parents are very determined.
Good school in my oppinion
It's a brilliant school. The teachers are nice but a lot of gum is under the tables which the staff should be cleaning but other than that it's sound
Gun!! Lockdown!! Outrage!!!
this school is absolutely terrible! a gun was outside 3 schools in the district went into lockdown apart from upholland! this outrageous and ill be going to ofsted in the morning.
Don't do it.
This is not a school it's correctional centre for students to get bullied the whole school is a joke, piss poor education backed up by piss poor Pastoral. If you have decided to send your kid here you have made a big mistake.
The head of this school would be better taking a job in a prison.
I can honestly say that the last five years of having a child at this school has been hell.

Boring
The teachers are disrespectful and only care about themselves don’t go upholland
Ok for education, TERRIBLE FOR MENTAL HEALTH!
The teachers believe that they have a lot of power and do not give children a say in anything. One time I was getting bullied and the teachers gave them a small detention but taht made it worse so my mum called the school and they said ‘I’m sorry we have done evrything we could’ like what!? I am suffering mild depression right now and I hate going to school not because I don’t like learning because I’m scared of what kind of ppl are going to bully me today whether it’s name calling or pushing and shoving
Algebra? Don't make me laugh
I saw a supposed maths teacher who could not recognise that 4a+a = 5a. I'm not joking!!!
Also, when it came to simplifying a - x/2 she came up with(a-x)/2.
When challenged she said 'I'm just trying to teach them to divide by 2. Absolutely unbelieveable!!!

hey lol
this school is a shit hole they don’t care about you at all. the food is shocking and if your vegetarian you get little to no food, the pastoral/slt don’t do f all except scream and shout all day long. they search people on a daily with no reason, they put you in iso for nothing and they don’t care about you at all.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
This school is horrible, The SLT team do not support you they just tell you too take your makeup/jewellery off, if you refuse you get iso. they say that they will help your mental health but just make it 10x worse, all the food is cold, No food for vegetarians and all the chicken is pink. You get regular homework everyday and are expected too do every single peice of it. Only go for lunch at 1:30 which is unfair too me.
idk lol
should be 0 stars teachers treat students like sh1t, shout left right an centre, don't care about students wellbeing, many creepy teachers, if a student does the slightest thing that barely goes against rules they get harassed by teachers who think they have power but are just pe teachers, accuse students of taking drugs in the back of classrooms, the student never has a say, teachers have favourites in bullying situations, this school made me have panic attacks daily and worsened my mental health, made me show proof i was on medication for depression an when i shown it i got told i was lying, won't even get started on my form teacher or we will be here all day
It’s a ok school
The school is alright,food is good, MOST teachers are supportive (even in the lgbtq+ as I am my self trans.) just they don’t get mental health, pastoral is sh’’t. Uniform is terrible but nice and they just play along with what you say
And theirs cams/cctv in the bathrooms. It’s disgusting. The teachers can check them from the classroom pc aswell
Am sorry if this stuff is wrong just personal opinions

Pastoral
The teachers are fine, but this school knows nothing about supporting young people mentally in all possible situations. You can get better help from a bottle of voddy than the pastoral team at this school.
