Williamwood High School

the worst years of my life took place at williamwood. i left halfway through my third year here because i could not take it anymore.
when i first joined i was bullied a lot by homophobic students who had nothing better to do with their lives. i was never able to focus on my schoolwork because A: i was either too scared to come into school, B: i couldn’t focus from the constant disruption in my classes, or C: i was too busy worrying about my social status.
genuinely at this school they have such weird unspoken rules especially when it comes to friend groups, such as, you can’t be in our group unless you wear tan and nails etc. if you’re anything other than the basic british girl, you are seen as an outsider and nothing more.
education wise, i got taught nothing. i couldn’t focus in class because none of the teachers actually knew you as a person. they didn’t acknowledge the way you learn, or if you were struggling. during parents nights and report cards id see myself get high scores, when, in reality, i was struggling with everything. say im delusional about this school all you want, but it was hell, and every day i’m so glad i left.

It is very good 👍 😎

My entire life I have lived in Glasgow & have 4 children that have gone to separate schools throughout Glasgow because we have moved a few times. Williamwood is an awful school some teachers/students are racist, the school does not care when your child is being bullied, they will say that they are but just talk to the students & try to shove all under the carpet. My youngest child has been bullied in this school for the past 2 years now & my wife & I have gone to this school had many many meetings and been assured that they will make things better but it never does. The teachers especially the head tell lies, they listen to you and will make all sorts of promises but do nothing. The worst environment the worst teachers the worst pupils & the worst school. Drugs, vaping & other unacceptable things take place in this school. The teachers know that the pupils have a vaping area outside school but they do nothing about it. ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL SCHOOL.

school is run by the most vile people. a was being bullied and harassed for weeks was going to teachers about it every day with them telling me they were doing stuff about it, they were not. wont go to deep into the situation but found out the school was actually praising these people to their parents rather than telling them what they had been doing to me. they lied straight to my face and swept everything under the rug. they do not care about your mental health, they will say they do and put on a big act but they really dont. they will tell you that education is important, however: they are more concerned with uniform. they care more that your shoes are black and u aren’t wearing a jumper with a hood. if you do not have your blazer they will take you out of class to literally put your name down on a piece of paper. one time i showed up to school in 27° weather without my blazer and they made everyone without a blazer (which was a lot of people) stand in this tiny corner until the bell had rang for first period (which was also the same day we were finding out our new timetable so weren’t in normal classes) they then made us sit down and took our names but even after they had taken our names they did not let us leave until they had gave us a big speech. they also would let us out of class ten mins early at lunch if we had our blazers. how does this make education the most important thing? how is it not uniform? had a bit of white on my shoes one day as my fully black ones had broken and something in the back of it had stabbed my foot so my foot was also quite sore that day, soon as i walked in got taken to another room to get given different shoes which were way to small and my shoes taken off of me. the school is run by absolute idiots to say the least. one teacher was screaming at everyone to take there jumpers off and to go to class whilst he was standing outside the only open toilets with his big north face jacket on. they are so hypocritical and selfish. honestly do not send your child to this school i actually beg u not to put your child through what i have been through with this school. i would have been staying longer in school till s6 but the school has actually ruined all chances of any more education for me and i am now leaving at the end of s4 because i physically cannot stay any longer. most days i end up wanting to scream at most people because of how backwards and stupid the school is. there is a lot more i could tell very more about what this school does but that would genuinely take hours. if anyone was thinking about sending their kid here just don’t.

a teacher gave me racial abuse calling me a "a disabled paki immagrant" because i am in a wheelchair and furthermore i took this to the head teacher and she took a blind eye to this incident, there has also been a surge in the number of kids coming to school under the influence of illegal substances and almost half of the school is failing academically.
