I wish I knew before...

Only some teacher actually care about you bcz when I was a Yr 7 they said they'd help you, no. No, they don't. I told the head teacher I was lost she said "what do you mean your lost? Its right there! Open your eyes!" Wow. That's harsh. Tbh I would say the learning Is good but they just care about the sports and learning. Only if you're ever lucky they'd ask you if your fine. Loads of the older students apparently "hate" year 7's. Which I think is a bad atmosphere since they'd purposefully gossip and they'd make animal noises. It's not great...

High school

Not what it was

Recent new Head, not too keen seems bit stand offish. Mainly keen on high achievers if middle of road just don't seem that helpful. Majority of pupils are or have been privately tutored to pass 11+ very few that haven't, hard on the girls who have achieved purely on their own hard work, money wins over all.
From what my daughter has said school have got quite lax on rules and behaviour with some pupils being quite disrespectful. Would I recommend,
few years ago yes, now? Probably not.

Bad atmosphere

Teachers do not care about bullying, they won’t expel a student to keep their reputation. There are students doing drugs, smoking, bullying etc. A bad atmosphere.

Can school see this?

so much bullying, teachers don't care about it in the slightest. The headteacher (leaving soon) is terrible, all she cares about is grades. They say they care about your mental health but in reality don't. I'm in year 9 rn and I honestly don't recommend unless you're good at netball because that's the only thing that makes the teachers like u.

Average

Good teachers but often felt like they prioritised their reputation than actually learning e.g not allowed to wear a certain type of socks as it comes across as too ‘immature’. All about getting the top grades and if you didn’t the school didn’t want to know about you.

However, there was no bullying and lessons were quite well structured. They have great canteen food too - only wish they could’ve focused more on the quieter, low achieving students.
