## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — shit schl: shit school teachers are rude and think there all the dogs bollocks. dont go too this school ever *(Sep 2024)*
- **4/5** — I RECCOMEND!: GOOD SCHOOL. STRICT RULES=PREPARED AND WELL BEHAVED AS YOU GROW UP. PLEASE DONT LISTEN! STAFF ARE NOT RACIST OR SEXIST AS ANOTHER STUDENT SAID. I LOVE IT. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — terrible community: can't even look after special need students let alone anything in "their" so much for help students with their problem than be a caring and good secondary school this school does not deserve the reputation that it deserves for a good secondary school so bad that the teachers or safe guarding team can't even help with situations such as student harassment or helping with their students all they do is actively say " we're a great secondary school send your children here" you don't deserve to look … *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: My son has settled in well at JHCS. The facilities are excellent, particularly the sports facilities. He's really engaged with the Inspire, Care, Succeed values. We're seeing great progress in his GCSE subjects. We're thoroughly impressed with the school. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Worst school: They don’t really care about the students *(Jul 2023)*
- **2/5** — Horrific Headteacher.: Many wonderful teachers, but staff in place to help children with mental health are extremely poor. Headteacher is arrogant and self absorbed, makes pupils with mental health difficulties feel ashamed about their problems and at fault themselves for things they cannot control. Mr Stevens is the cause for students loosing their lives due to his selfishness and lack of any empathy. *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support for SEND: I've been really impressed with the support my child has received with their SEND needs. The SENCO, Mr T Myatt, has been fantastic. The school's inclusive culture and facilities make a huge difference to her confidence and learning. We feel very lucky to be part of the JHCS community. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Run and keep running.: Worst secondary school I ever came across with 5 boys all going to different schools. One in this dump even fought to keep him out .but was told there was no room in the other 2 schools. But plenty in this dump. That alone tells a story. If you want your child safe stay away from this dump. Bulling is non stop with nothing been done. Even when they say they have done something. As soo as your child trys to fight back . His then punished by the school.. *(Nov 2022)*
- **1/5** — don't recommend unless you want you child to be ruined!: The education is good but the majority of the teachers suck. I remember one teacher mocked a girl for being shy, that same teacher made me cry. They don't care about your mental health no matter how much they say they do they don't help. They ruined my mental health and I lost all my friends due to that. It's a shit school and I don't recommend. xoxo *(Oct 2022)*

They don't care about your mental health no matter how much they say they do they don't help. One teacher made my mother cry. They ruined my mental health and I lost all my friends due to that. It's a shit school and I don't recommend. xoxo *(Oct 2022)*
