"Treatment of the school children."

The Treatment of the pupils at this school, especially the Send pupils is atrocious, speciously by the teachers, the TAs and the heads of years.
The school needs to be inspected by Ofsted
The things that needs to be put in place, according to CHT plan have never been put in place. The school seems to be a law unto themselves.

"Great school, bad management"

Its a decent school, but they definitely have to rework their anti-bullying policy. A few times, unlike other schools I’ve been to, they actually handled the bullying but other times they turned a blind eye. I was catfished by another student for entertainment, verbally and semi-physically bullied and ridiculed by a few other students for my mental health.

However, the teaching staff were always great giving me extra tutoring as well as additional help and I learnt many useful things throughout my years. Id recommend the school, but be prepared for bullying.

"AWFUL "

It was awful not the worst I've experienced but, still awful. I would not recommend; most of the teachers were really miserable and did not want to be there; a couple ta's were nice. The popular kids there are all rich stuck up people that think the world revolves around them. The lessons were always boring and repetitive. I rarely remembered what we learnt. The teachers are useless as well. Unless you're popular please don't come unless you don't have any other option then you are screwed.
