    PRISON

    DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE ITS HELL!! School is honestly shocking! my kids have told me they have seen rats roaming around?, school building is falling apart because they are too poor to make it better, doesnt give a shit about their student's mental heath. Girls toilets are grim, broken doors, writing all over the walls and apparently boys smoke weed in the toilets?. This is honestly the most vile school and i might get my kids to tranfer to a better one that doesn't just care what you wear or ho...

    HORRIBLE PLACE

    Horrible school, building is falling down. had behaviour specialists in and they where horrible to students. one of them would get into peoples faces and suspend them for not giving up there phones. Teachers do not respect you but think they deserve respect and when you defend yourself you get behaviour points. Dont come to this school. there used to be rats roaming around and in the drama studio if u slightly punch the wall it will crumble.

    Toilets are ripped to pieces, vapes are left in the toilets and there are many holes in the ceiling. I nearly always have supply teachers, limiting my education. These supply teachers are just a chance for my classmates to mess around and have fun, so I can barely listen or hear what we are supposed to do. Some of the teachers are friendly, when we do have them.

    William allitt pupil

    All of the toilets are broken, the soap dispensers are ripped apart and I've seen many vapes just left in the urinals and on the floor. Many of the older pupils are unfriendly, often swearing and cursing. There are also many holes in the ceiling that need to be repaired. However, many of the teachers are friendly and kind when it comes to their subject, making it much more enjoyable.

    Awful cruel place

    Awful school. Awful teachers when they have any. Mostly supply teachers as no one wants to stay. Head teacher is useless as she’s been there years and only just managed to drag the school out of unsatisfactory and requires improvement category this year. It use to be outstanding rating from ofsted before she got her hands on it. The teaching staff are disrespectful to students. They don’t give them any leniency in anything. They don’t listen to children reasons for anything. They just give them C1 or C2 for everything. They are so uptight as a school and are too focussed on rules they can’t enforce and that are totally unnecessary. They do t even allow children to go to toilet in lesson. This l think is barbaric and it’s just another form of control. Girls should be able to go to the toilet at anytime for obvious reasons but they aren’t allowed. Also half of the toilets don’t work so when they go on break they are queuing for the one toilet which makes them late back. When they try to explain this to the teacher they get another C2,3,4 without listening to their explanation. Isolation is like something from the Victorian era and is barbaric. They are not even allowed to speak at lunchtime. It’s so bad I’m thinking of relocating my child to another school.

    THIS SCHOOL IS USELESS

    Most of the teachers are creepy and dont even know how to teach the subject they are teaching, some of the teachers got fired for touching girls up, only because ofstead came and they all swear at the students.
