Absolutely Horrible.
i’ve moved here last year ( 27th november 2023 ) with an EHCP n ever since then, i’ve been bullied nonstop n still do to this day n when my dad asked for them to move to a different class they said that they can’t because it’s only that class that would a “necessary” one but my anxiety has been going worse day after day going there to see them in a group all together whilst me worrying on my way to school that they’ll say something to me in a bad way just like they did before n have been having nightmares ab it thru out the weekdays + weekends. my dad passed this onto school n all they say is just to tell them to leave me alone n not to speak to me again but they’ll carry on n then stop for a while on repeat then continue to not leave me alone or get their friend to take the mick out of me like they did a few weeks ago that i got accused of technically lying n that “ it doesn’t look like she was looking at me” on the cctv cameras saying something to me while her friends were there n i had to just look down coz my heart rate was getting quicker n not only just their friends doing this to me n theirselves but also people around the school that i don’t even know. once before in music, i had gotten made to sit next to one of the girls who have been bullying me ( the main one ) and i panicked so i kept asking if i could move and when my music teacher wasn’t listening to me, i cried all lesson then when i got asked by an teaching assistant what’s wrong i couldn’t risk to tell her because her friend was in the room with us and then all they said to my dad was that it was an “ human error “ which was an poor excuse to even make. i’ve been refusing to go 24/7, days whenever they changed my timetable to another period even tho last time i did it i was bawling my eyes out when i got out of there n they’ve been telling me stupid stuff to scare me that my dad will get a fine n ill get into trouble with my dad just because im struggling with my mh n they won’t do anything about it or let me speak up to anyone ab how i feel n how i can control my emotions from crying every single day that i come home telling my dad to not take me back cause of it since all theyll just do whoever i tell is say they’ll do something about it then weeks later nothing happens n i just wasted my time letting it all out of the jar for no reason. they only care about the education more than their students mental healths n it ain’t fair at all. i’m trying to move schools at the moment as this is the worst school that i could ever go to through out my life but i wouldn’t recommend sending ur child here unless u want them to suffer mentally n physically without any help or support as i had to go thru.
Bad school
Terrible school. The teachers do not care about your mental health at all. Please do not send your children here. My child comes home and tells me he has been harassed, and the teachers do not do anything about it.
Waping and drugs is allowed here
Waping is allowed in the school, even in the classroom! Selling drugs in the toilets!!! Teachers dont get students 's learning and achivment seriously because only things that matter for them is, strikes and their aims!
They dont think after Covid-19, which had a massive impact on students's educational achievement, they are joining lots of strikes!!!
Therefore, as long as school needs to achieve the ofsted requirement level, teachers are only focused on students who are already at a higher level, and the rest are left out!

Sexy education
Pee pee un caca in peepeecacaland
Did 47 backflips and 492 people punched my no no square also did over 7 poos a day In the toilets , I was bullied my my own dad for going here and I was jumped by a gang of y7 girls in zavetti Canada coats
Shocking school
Not a good school, I have a child with special needs and done nothing. He has an EHCP which they should follow and they don’t. I have managed to get a new school for my child and there answer is to put his days down to 2 days a week (as it’s better for the child) until he goes to his new school. He’s had no education for the past 2 months whatsoever. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO WINTERHILL!!!!
Also the bullying is rife here and they do not do anything about it!

School is so bad teachers dont care or help students problems but make them worse all they do is scream just because their teachers, the toilets are disgusting and theres hair sometimes in food. teachers are racist aswell and treat students differently depending who they are.

This school is Sexist and Homophobic!!
I’ve been bullied for 5 years at this school!!! i’m almost finished with school but no matter how many times i’ve told the teachers about it nothing has ever been done about it! the kids that bully other kids just get a slap on the wrist and told to ‘never do it again’ but are never severely punished for it so they just continue to do it because they know that they won’t get into serious trouble with it.
As well as this, some of the teachers are also just blatantly sexist. Saying that one of my friends can’t wear a suit to prom because she’s female and then continuing to mock her because she was talking about wearing a suit to prom.
Overall this school is sexist and doesn’t do anything about the problems some of the students face even though it claims to be an anti-bullying school and supports LGBTQIA+ when it so obviously doesn’t. You may see a couple of posters everywhere stating ‘Some people are gay. Get over it.’ but that’s basically all the school is capable of doing rather then helping the students being bullied for being a part of the community by other students.

10/10 can’t wait to leave
Had enough negative experiences with teaching to begin. By the time of reaching year 11 I should’ve had more than 4years of physics. I have had roughly 2 years where the teachers weren’t absent for the entirety. Over 30 form tutors from year 7 despite being promised to have no more that 5 throughout our entire time. The teachers have displayed to do nothing at any bullying or anything of the sort that has gone on. Students being denied assistance in the past for mental health, thankfully steadily improving. Fellow students being racist, homophobic, antisemitic, sexual assault towards one another is disgraceful. And not to mention how many times have I found hair in my cake years back? How many times did I need food poisoning? Other than that in recent years it’s better. The younger years as loud and rude as ever, but at least some have a level of maturity needed for this place. Least there’s some nice people. And the cake is nice. And better events are held so we don’t feel like we are trapped in as much of a prison. And I very much enjoy being treated like a child rather than a teen in a grown up world.

Community
I’ve experienced in school for nearly 5 years at school, as i’m student. There’s a lot of teachers that are treated differently, and the headteacher doesn’t deal with them at all. When I share my experience on what it can be changed, they completely ignore it.
Would not recommend!
Awful school.
I was bullied throughout my time here with numerous teachers aware of it. They did nothing to support me or to stop it. The teaching is horrendous. I don’t think I ever had a stable science teacher or health & social care teacher throughout my time there. I’m so glad I left just before Lockdown due to Corona Virus. It was the best decision I’ve made and I know many other students still at the school struggling also.

Former student
Such a terrible school!!! Towards the end of year 11 i started to struggle with my mental health really badly and they did nothing to support me. I was also badly bullied throughout my time here. My sister is always getting forced to go into school when Ill and care more about attendance and GCSE grades!!
Teacher's good, Leadership team not so much
The teachers are great, and are doing their jobs the best that they can, with the terrible leadership team that they have in place. The head teacher has no backbone, and has forced the school to become run down, the leadership team don't care about the children and safeguarding is only useful if you're struggling with grades, nothing else.
They recently fired my media teacher, halfway through our GCSE course, forcing us to have to be taught the course by a teacher who doesn't know the information.
The school used to be good, now it's ruining mine and future pupils' chance at a good start in life.

Its worse than hell itself
Absolutely terrible. I was never provided a decent standard of work. I never studied GCSE content. And i was bullied for 3 years, as well as a friend of mine and nothing was ever done. Dont send your child here unless you want them to suffer tremendously. I moved at the end of year 9 and it was the best choice ive ever made. I never felt safe there
