Teachers threaten their students physically!!!
Just saw the story the parent said about how a teacher threatened a young girl with a pen to her throat… my kids had a similar situation a few weeks ago, and Apprnelty saw this child in question being threatened and crying in the halls. Apprnelty they’re friends or something amongst those lines… I told my kids to tell that girl to ask for the cctv footage just for them to come back and tell me that the school gotten rid of it?
I wonder how many times our kids have been put in danger feeling unsafe to go into school because of people that are meant to care and teach our babies the right thing?
Close the school down

Close the school down
Ableism and just straight out unsafe for our children
My kids come to me crying about the discrimination they get from teachers and students!
It’s not just bullying it’s threats and everything
Had to pick my daughter up from school because a boy made a death threat to stab her on the way home, teachers knew about this and just ignored it.. as i was driving to the school, I saw a bunch of youths with face coverings in a group around the corner from the enterance. Teachers do not care for students and I can’t stress this enough, someone needs to close this down.. how are the teachers getting away with this and the kids get sanctioned?
My kid has been removed from the school and not for good reasons? It’s disgusting kicking out my special need daughter because they just can’t be asked to deal with her?

Awful school racist sexist abusive and unfair justice system
A young girl here was threatened by a male staff and he even put a pen to a throat yelling in her face, when she came home and told me I called the school where they said that student isn’t of anyone’s concern even themselves!!
Next thing you know this girl is the one to be sanctioned, and sent away to some dangerous area school in the middle of GSCE’s !!!
If you care about your kids please don’t send them here those good reviews are fake so many bad things have happened behind those doors and it’s not spoken about enough!!

Disgusting teacher conduct
The history teacher said the n word multiple times bc he just “ had to as part of the spec” and sent out a child for sneezing , hateful speech was never dealt with although the school preaches anti bullying. *** **** claimed my daughter to be “ socially autistic “ as an insult ( considering she has no diagnostic authority)
5 years at Woodcote High School
Can't praise it enough for helping meld me into the person I am today. The students of the school come from a diverse array of social backgrounds across the boroughs of Croydon and Sutton. The teaching staff and the school in general was incredibly inclusive and was a great environment that definitely taught me, among other students, respect and tolerance for all other people in society. Yes there were issues with students not behaving, but for the most part the school handled these individuals fairly. The buildings are outdated by all means, however this is hardly something that the school can be punished for, as it has very little control over this funding. Teaching staff were friendly and I felt as though with many of them I could communicate very freely and would often talk to them outside of lessons. I wish I could sneak in there now and see how many teachers I know are still there! Having gone through some difficult times at the school as well, the supporting staff there were extremely responsive and were able to address issues of bullying and discrimination very quickly. All round a safe and great environment to spend 5 years in.

Something has happened post Covid that has turned it from a reasonably good offer to an absolutely toxic environment.
Do not send your children here. If your children have SEND don't event think about it.
The teachers and the policies are akin to a HMP. There is a racism, homophobic behaviour and zero joy. Presenteeism is rewarded and mental health totally ignored. Compliance is the number one goal rather than building independence.
Very sad state of affairs. It will take a miracle to turn this school around. I
