"Alright"
This is a good school but there are certain things that really annoy me about gwyr, some of the teachers think that they are so much more above than us and call us lazy and silly, it's just not fair because if we called them those names we would be told off or gotten detention.

"Can improve wiht LGBT+ rights"
This school is not good at dealing with Transgender students. While some teachers understand and use the correct name some forse the girls and biys to be seprate. There is only one bathroom not labled girls or boys that is placed in an area without access to years 7,8 and 9. However there is 2 disabled bathrooms but one needs a key (which they dont give you) and the other one is for a diffrent year due to covid you cannot go there . They need to educate the teachers on this matter as a lot flat out ignore your request (with the name).
