"DONT.GO.PATCHWAY"

I go to this school it is s**t (I’m bleeping cuss words bc I don’t want to get removed) but ppl have to see this. THIS SCHOOL PROMISED US THINGS THAT STILL HAVENT HAPPENED. I hate it here and the teachers are horrible (beside a few who are the only nice ones) I was being bullied online and Irl by a kid in my school and they said they’d make her take the post down (it was a TikTok) BUT GUESS WHAT! They didn’t. SHE WASNT EVEN F*****G TOLD OFF FOR IT!?! not only that but some of the supply’s don’t even care what happened and it ends up in carnage. The walls are peeling the indoors of some of the classrooms (mainly room 59) smells like BO and in the corridors your being pushed 24/7. Some teachers don’t even let kids go to the toilet when they ARE DESPERATE. I’m really disappointed with this school and even when it gets rebuilt I doubt it will change.

"Superb school"

Fantastic school in every way! Great staff who go the extra mile every day! I have three children and two are still at the school in year 10 and 8. My eldest is at Durham university studying Law and did brilliantly thanks to Patchway. My youngest is doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and both still at Patchway are making amazing progress. Enrichment is very strong! One going to Paris and the other to Venice this year! Don’t believe all the rubbish you hear about this school as there are some people who just want to put this excellent school down!

"Brilliant school "

Fantastic school with brilliant and dedicated staff who are always happy to help. The previous comment is right - why write complaints anonymously and not contact the school?

"Look elsewhere for your childs education "

Terrible school. No punishment for bullies, they also promote mental health awareness but don't act well on it, very hippocritcal. The teachers speak to students like something on their shoes. Lunch times are a mess and most students go hungry, The head passes problems on to other people, has an awful attitude. Teachers seem scared to speak up against her. My child has had an awful time there and I regret ever choosing this school. I can probably think of 2-3 teachers that are actually good and helpful.

"school"

head teacher seems to care more about the colour of socks than a child's mental health or academic achievements, your negative experiences get pointed out more than the positive ones. rest of the teachers are great.

"So so so far below standard!!!!"

My partners daughter is in year 11, the way she and others get treated in class is beyond belief, teachers won’t listen, won’t take questions whilst in class, they’re not there for the kids, they cannot hold a class where the kids actually feel like they learn anything, very very quick to complain about children not attending school but not willing to listen to the reason why!
Lunchtime is a nightmare, 3 out of 5 days there is no food left by the time the year 11’s get to the queue! If Patchway school bothers to read this they will take no notice, they’re an a academy which is just interested in money and not educating or helping children.
