Worst school ever
Worst Secondary School In Thamesmead
Worst school ever I can't even write a review on the main school Google Maps thing because they remove all reviews recently made so you can only see reviews made from 2 years ago. They don't want people to know how bad that school is they are embarrassing and I can't believe I attend here. I had no choice but to attend this school as the council put me here I hate this school. This school makes me want to kill myself. But someone had to go to refocus)/isolation because they didn't have a pen and teachers are dating and it's so disgusting I hate it here don't come here unless you want to torture yourself and your child.
this school is depressing and rubbish
its bad the teachers dont care for your feelings and if you come to them with a concern they just forget about it or push you away the only good thing about it is my friends and food like this school is honestly so bad the teachers lit dont care for you and they will just give you a reset for anything, especially miss holmes and miss islam. FIRE THEM. she took away my childs phone when dropped it and miss holmes is so jobless she will lit come in your classroom and stand there for like 20 seconds and watch you then leave and if you look at her she will give you a dirty look also there was this one time my child was just going to miss yap and miss islam and miss holmes shouted and she cried for the whole day
School
How it really is
Their horrible to people what they said to me school should not be perfect not everybody is nice these people are nasty and you know what if you do love your children dont send them there and if you do make sure they can defend themselves. Most teachers are as nasty as students and there only 13 year olds.everyone you'll meet us fake nothing they say they actually mean there very rood people all of them.
teachers expecting students to know the answer
teachers always pick on you and expects you to know the answer like its so annoying they always discourage you when you say 'i dont know' saying stuff like "thats not acceptable pay attention more next time" like no, do you think we give shit about education... NO like school shouldnt even be a thing because stuff like this will just discourage people (school is also the reason why we are all emo)
yes i rather be sent to a farm to learn from a cow at least its better than being abused by teachers

There are better secondary schools/sixth forms in Greenwich
Just finished my university course. Was here from 2009-2016. The secondary school is average at best, and the sixth form is pretty bad. I hope that it is much better now! Looking back, the headteacher at the time did not do enough, which led to problems with students and staff that I have not experienced since I have left. They were very good at lording up the place and making out like other schools and universities were worse which was a lie. Statistically at least, there are better sixth forms and secondary schools in the area, which I wish I knew earlier. Everything the other review said is also true.
A poor school at best .
A bad school .Bullying is everywhere .*** **** ******** *** ***** *** *********.The PE teachers are body shaming .There is no sense of discipline either .They religiously follow the one way system and are far more concerned about the colour of your socks than what they teach you .The humanities block is ok but is in a very bad condition from the outside .They only repair and maintain the facade of the school as to make it look nice to visitors.The canteen is horribly packed and in year 7&8 you are made to be packed like sardines in a tin can waiting for your food.You are also given an hour detention when you’re late by a few minutes when I was there and that’s so ableist and horrible if you actually think about it. All in all a poor school at best.
Send your child to a farm and they would learn more from the cows .

When my son got sick, I reported it through the studybug app, which recommended he stay at home for 48 hours due to vomiting. Unfortunately, the school marked his absence as unauthorized arbitrarily, which felt frustrating since they didn't seem to follow NHS guidelines. It really makes you wonder about their approach—it's as if every sick child should just push through and come to school, which seems unreasonable.
I've also noticed some unfortunate incidents at the school, like children getting hurt at the gate due to staff shortages and some issues with physical bullying. It seems like a lot of the kids are quite disrespectful, and the support staff don’t seem to be addressing these challenges effectively.
So many different apps they need to use and no help when needed. School doesn't answer email or just rarely.
My son had been home educated for 3.5 years, and after just two months of being back in school, I'm starting to doubt that decision. It's been a disappointing experience so far.
