## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Rubbish State school: In state-run schools, bullying is still a big problem, and in my experience, it’s often girls causing trouble more than boys. Complaints usually get the standard “we’ll deal with it,” but year after year the same students keep disrupting classes and moving on to new victims. Pupils can’t concentrate, and the “one size fits all” approach clearly doesn’t work. When will schools finally take real action against those who are a lost cause and just waste everyone’s time? *(Oct 2025)*
- **1/5** — Bad report of towers school: School does not have good things and there is too much for pupils to handle *(Dec 2024)*
- **2/5** — Towers school: This school should not be aloud to make half the decisions they have made already.I have had enough with the pathetic school. Most children spend time in eternal exclusion for the most littlest thing's. A new rule that they have just made that girls cannot wear any type of earrings nor boys. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Avoid: At first we were impressed with the discipline policies. It soon became apparent that sanctions are not issued following the system they told us . There is alot of bias depending on who the child was. It appeared teachers and staff who had children at the school got preferential treatment . There were outside sports events and students were not picked on ability or given any opportunity to go. Bullying was rife at the school and on the bus but not dealt with. Detentions not issued fairly or equa… *(Jul 2023)*
- **2/5** — ok, but certainly not “excellence in everything”: I’d like to make an honest review as a towers student during 2023. (I would liked to have rated this slightly above a 2/5) I will start with the positives of towers before talking about its flaws. The attitudes from the staff are normally great, they enforce the rules well and are clearly passionate about the school. The rules are strict for the better. Towers takes a unique approach towards learning, they use acronyms which are called in the classrooms to remind students to be on their best beh… *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: Poor communication and lack of help in regards to child’s mental health. Nothing has been taken seriously. They never answer the phone or emails and if they do it’s weeks too late *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — Do NOT come here.: This school is outrageous. You arent allowed to use toilets during lessons which is ridiculous. What if someone got their period during a lesson?! What of someone had explosive dirreah?! They disallow rolled skirts and older MALE teachers look up their skirts because they tell them to roll them down which is ridiculous and there are so many creepy staff here. Overall, staff are horrible and the way they speak to students is unfair and disgusting. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — don’t go to towers school: Really bad school please reconsider going. Teachers are not understanding.students mentally struggling from it . Not allowed to go to toilet in lesson. Really strict . Overall terrible and bad for mental and physical health. Very judgemental school please don’t go *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Towers school: Teachers suck and so the the school rules tbf but not all teachers some r lovely but some of them have been brought started out if helk tbf x *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school experience so far: We've been at Towers for a year now and I'm so impressed with the values and ethos. Our child has thrived in the supportive environment and loves the Performing Arts programme. The staff are always approachable and the homework/prep expectations have helped our child stay on top of their work. *(Sep 2022)*
