## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Horrible: Im a student here, and I've only been going here for a year and I hate it, Year 7 was a horrible year for me and it was because of the Bullying, Homophobic people, Racism, Sexual Assault, Assault, Violence and many more horrible things and Ive had thoughts to hurt myself or even more and I probably would have ended myself if it wasn't for my friends, Parents, If you want your child to go through literal hell (Unless they're basic) Send them here! *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — No understanding towards children with difficulties: If your child suffers with any form of struggles via mental health (autism, adhd ect) then avoid at all cost! The "well-being" department is far from what it claims to be. I find no reason why a child at 12 years old having a melt down is told to "grow up" by the very department that's supposed to help them. Since starting this school my son's mental health has spiraled downwards!. Why write a review you may ask? Because any and every time the teachers are the staff of the wellbeing department a… *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — weird as ever: this school is basicaly bipolar , teachers dont care about the wellbeing of kids and they care more about how their uniform looks lmaoo , the uniform is expensive asf , the food is expensive for school food like wdym i have to pay 60p more for cheese on my pasta , get a grip , the wellbeing teachers stopped giving one and are understaffed so they dont let a kid having a panic attack out of lesson , i have a lad in my classes and our geo teacher bullies him along with people in our class over all… *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — Rubbish school: rubbish school, all they care about is the uniform and money, they dont let you get away with not giving money on non uniform day and force you to pay, they concentrate on hair, makeup and uniform instead of learning, half of the teachers cant even teach anyway. *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — Bullying: Bullying is rife at this school, and the teachers don't care!! *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — Amazing: Amazing school, no more words needed to describe *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Lost touch with reality: Absolutely appalling… school hopes to continue with its past outstanding rating but fails to live up to it… staff who were respected are now leaving. Communication and administration is appalling… don’t believe me? Please go online and check how out of date their policies are. Staff failed to recognise my child’s ADHD and told me it was an attitude issue! *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — horrible teachers: teachers here at chrisis are absolutely awful it’s one of my last years and they have always been negative towards certain kids that are “naughty” even though they get on there nerves and these students retaiate the teachers cause arguments for example a teacher went up to my mates and called me socially unacceptable for nothing after hearing this i politely asked the teacher why and they basically said it’s lies and they never said it even though they fully did my next reason is some people are… *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — pathetic school: at school i was proper ill and i was forced to come to school everyday and wasn’t aloud to leave even with permission for the 4 weeks i was i’ll in winter overloading myself with stress and passing whatever i had on to other people making them ill aswell and when i finally had a day off i was better and ready for the next day i believe if i had the day off straight away it would’ve been manageable and today i asked to go home my mum gave me permission and i wasn’t aloud the head teacher made me … *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Not a flagship school: used to highly rate this school. teachers think they are something else. talk about insensitive … Current head of year 11 asked my daughter to ring her mum or dad. Her dad is not even listed in carets details you need to fill in since she joined in year 7 as he died. Then mains she had 240 students to look after … she is paid to be a head of year. Absolutely disgusting. *(Dec 2022)*
