There is good feedback and you get 6 reports a year plus a parents evening so you know how your child is getting on. *(Mar 2023)* - **4/5** — Excellent Start to Secondary School: We were delighted with the school's warm welcome and the efforts made to make our child feel included. The head of school's bulletins have been informative and helpful. Our child is enjoying their studies and is settling well into the school community. *(Oct 2022)* - **4/5** — It’s decent: As good as an experience your going to get. They like to say that rao is there for support but really no one goes there bc it’s terrifying or you feel judged. People go to rao to skip lessons that’s it. Some teachers are amazing but some are awful. Depending on what teacher you get really defines how well you will do in the subject. Pe teachers are strict and scary. English teachers all suck. Great dance department though, we go on dance trips very often. Lots of clubs to choose from and good ca… *(Oct 2022)* - **1/5** — bad bad bad: sh*t school. started struggling in yr 7, then lockdown, did nothing in lockdown, got no help, lockdown ended, i still didnt do any work, got no help even after asking, my head of year emailed my parents full details of a conversation she said was completely private, 2nd lockdown, still didnt do anything, got back, still nothing, lost my friends, finished year 8 after doing nothing for 2 years, year 9 started noticing people in my year giving me looks, still did nothing, except in art, spring ter… *(Sep 2022)* - **5/5** — Amazing School and Community!: We have been amazed by the school's focus on building resilience and encouraging reciprocity. Our child has thrived in this supportive environment and has made lifelong friends. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are dedicated to their students' success. *(Sep 2022)* - **3/5** — This is blunt and to the point :): Teachers are either brilliant or tyrants. Have yet to experience bullying. Older students can pick on youngers, but not repeatedly target them. Not quite was i was expecting, but all in all ok. Can be told "You are all f***ing failures". But not often. *(Jan 2022)* - **3/5** — READ THIS: As a student at the "grammar school of today" I would say all in all it's ok. I have yet to experience bullying, abuse etc. Having said that, the older students can sometimes pick on youngers, however never repeatedly targeted. The teachers are generally supportive and kind.. But some cannot control a class at all. I'd say not quite what I was expecting when I first arrived, but still ok. *(Jan 2022)* - **3/5** — Teachers aren’t always the best.: It’s fine. Teachers are very 50/50. Some are wonderful, others are incapable of teaching or controlling a class. In some cases, they can actually be rather rude. For a grammar school, you’d expect teachers to support students, not tell them that they’re a failure. That being said, the nicer and more supportive teachers can make any subject feel do-able, and they commit to helping. It’s just a shame that some bad teachers can make the school experience unpleasant if you don’t meet the (already hi… *(Sep 2021)* - **5/5** — Great Education, but Some Room for Improvement: We were impressed by the school's commitment to growing resourcefulness and nurturing reflection. Our child excelled in their studies and developed valuable skills. However, we felt that the pastoral care could have been better addressed at times. *(Jun 2021)* ## Other schools in Aylesbury - [The Mandeville School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/the-mandeville-school-22122) — 2.0/5 (35 reviews) - [Aylesbury High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/aylesbury-high-school-12492) — 3.6/5 (13 reviews) - [St Joseph's Catholic Infant School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/st-josephs-catholic-infant-school-21973) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Great Kimble Church of England School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/great-kimble-church-of-england-school-19376) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [The Kingsbrook School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/the-kingsbrook-school-22320) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [St Mary's Church of England School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/aylesbury/st-marys-church-of-england-school-21343) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
