"Jobsworth"
Assistant teacher going out of her way to disrupt families and make life worse by raising concerns. Some people need to get a real job instead of being a busy body and trying to change the world. We are disadvantaged and are struggling due to life events. I don’t need fake teachers raising concerns that are not there. Take a look at ure own lifestyle before trying to fix mine. U know who u are.

"Disgraceful. Investigation needed "
Teachers are in it together very corrupt teaching assistants are busy bodies that think they are professionals hoping to shag their way to the top. Be careful if u are a vulnerable family. They won’t accept a bully is a bully and the victim will end up in as much trouble as the perpetrators. I highly recommend that you keep your children as far away as possible from this pathetic excuse of a school. The worst mistake I ever made for my children. The sooner this school is shut down the happier our community will be

"A former student "
They employed some one who has said to my mother is he was a few years younger he'd try to date some of the girls there. They even called social services on my mother cause they didn't know how to handle someone with sever mental health problems and they didn't provide any help at all they just screamed and shouted. Blaming me for failed tests when I was dealing with the constant bullying and they don't handle self harm is a proper manner they causes me to become extremely depressed and try to commit suicide cause of some of there behaviours and policy's

"Not satisfactory "
They handled bullying and discrimination awfully. No real punishment for perpetrators. And no help for those suffering. Teaching is okay but they are underfunded and trying to make things work. No support for pupils and often praised naughty kids instead of hard working ones.

"Not bad but could be better"
They’re doing what they can to make their education good yet their budget and funding are way too low.
