Not great…
This school appears to be outstanding but racism in both the staff and students is prevalent, especially amongst staff who can appear very biased and definitely let it show. Some, in particular seem to enjoy the power they have as educators too much and use it as an excuse to treat students in an appalling way. They put students down as a method to motivate them academically, just cruel.
“Outstanding” school
i was a new student the school seemed to be welcoming but it’s fake .Racism and inequality is quite serious students have no discipline and some teachers couldn’t even teach or manage students.For classrooms most of the chairs and table are super old and broken ,there are chewed gums everywhere inside of toilet stalls, under tables ,on chairs etc.
review
this school is pretty mediocre
I am a student
I’ve been a part of the school since I was 11 I was removed from the school because someone took a knife in to kill me so they removed me instead of the others 2 years went by no education for me I wasn’t allowed on the premises then I come back now in year 11 teachers keep calling me names like a fat liar and saying to my face they don’t like me the school is so bad for bullying so not clean and all they care about is money
Don't care about racism and bullying
trash school, they say they care about racism but they really don't. Some fellow students of colour have experienced racism. Don't let Ofsted's 'outstanding' rating for this school deceive you.
Discrimination
The education was good. But as a biracial pupil i experienced racism within the institution and the teachers took no consideration. On numerous occasions, I dealt with hearing racial slurs, experiencing insensitive jokes due to my race and I heard teachers use these slurs as they were ‘in context’ but that does not make this okay. Teachers also allowed pupils to use slurs in lesson despite my open discomfort.
