"Hell on Earth"

This place is so bad that words can't even describe it. The teachers care more about nails, perfume/deodorant, jewelry, etc then the fucking lesson they are teaching. Most of the other students treat kids like me like crap and the teachers don't do shit about it. The place is a mess and a lot of us have seen rats running around the place. The food is vile. Prisoners get served better then us atp. There are little to no good teachers left. Honestly we would do better of with no education.

"Possibly the worst school"

Just an absolute horrible place. Teachers are horrible and only a few are nice ones. Got screamed into my face for not lining up properly in 0°c weather OUTSIDE. And once they forced someone to stand up in an assembly when they were sick and through up all over the place. There hygiene levels are disgusting. I would rather eat a rat then some of the food I have ate there.

"Sacey"

I love this skl but the only things that bother me is the staff and the yard. the staff can be a little bit rude sometimes and the yard is a bit tiny. 9/10

"sacy is a shit hole"

all of the teachers are leaving theres only about 4 nice ones who can teach.they hired a woman who couldn't speak english properly to teach maths and i had no maths teacher last year and no science teacher this year. the food is vile and the classrooms r horrible. kanexions is a joke class charts make so much more sense. another thing is the rules are strange because your not allowed jewellery and get told to take it off but its not affecting my learning in the slightest they would rather focus on my bracelet then teaching a lesson. the toilets are disgusting and are always locked the toilets in lower are nice but in upper are horrible.and slant make 0 sense nobody listens to it same with he C's bring back 2x verbal warning, name on board, out side+negative and then on call

"Poor school "

School is falling apart heaters don't work students are forced to go to the school in winter with no heaters toilets are always locked even then in the girls toilets out of six cubicles only one or two will work cameras in the toilets need a pass which only some students can get to go the toilets. School doesn't help those who are being bullied I know a student who was being threatened and they got in trouble. An re teacher shouted at a student for not being able to provide a pen for another student. They let homophobes and rascicts get away with bullying people. Focus more on students who would rather skip school and disturb lessons then those who need help and want to learn this isn't all teachers but it is a lot of them especially the ones who hold power in the school. Had around three different headteachers in one year.
