From bullies to straight-out people who vape. Don't recommend this school. Its crappy. (The food is pretty good tho) *(Oct 2025)* - **1/5** — Bullying hasn't stopped: My son has been getting bullied for the past 3 months and it still hasn't stopped. Tomorrow is the official start date for cranbourne and he will not be attending. I will make him move schools because the bullying hasn't stopped *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — bad school: My daughter is being sexually harassed by male students. My daughter is saying that these boys keep starting at her legs and keep trying to touch her private areas. I've told her to report it to the College Parent Partners or CPP. I tried contacting the teachers and they have taken no action against this. Since then I have not received a reply and I will be trying to take legal action. One more thing to note is that these boys are in year 11 and my daughter is in year 8. The age gap is unaccepta… *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — Awful school: My son who is currently in the school is being extremely bullied by these "gangsters" or "niggers" of what he says. His classmate farted on his face and started to sit on his face butt naked. The teachers laughed their socks off and I do not approve of that. I've contacted the staff and have received no reply. My son also had he's left testicle removed due to a student kicking him really hard in the private area. I am in the process of moving my son to a different school. This is totally unaccep… *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — Horrible School: My daughter was bullied into self harm, she is now recieving death threats from many students. She got dunked into a toilet on the Grease QMC trip, the staff simply laughed at her while she cried. No teacher supports her, she is wanting to move schools because of how poorly she has been treated. *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — Shit school: Fucking poo poo ass school. Teachers are shit. Mr head or should I say Andy head is shit. Mr Cuevas is a geek he sits in the front row in teacher assemblies. Ms Conlon looks like Barrack Obamas wife if she had autism and turned into Micheal Jackson white. This school just makes me want to kill my self and listen to Kanye West. Fuck homework id rather spam in Kai cenats chat. Parents do NOT let your child go here. And if any of the staff are looking at this. Go fuck yourself. This school is ass *(May 2025)* - **5/5** — BAST SCHOOL IN THE UNIVERSE: Ive only been there for a week but the student and teachers greeted me noicely and everyone was kind. There were no fights and the school is very disciplined. 100/100 *(Mar 2025)* - **1/5** — Shiza: they do the least they can or the absolute minimum *(Jun 2023)* - **1/5** — Hate the school, want to move.: Bullying isn’t stopped, it’s stupid. The only thing good there is the food. -100/10 *(May 2023)* - **5/5** — Fantastic First Year at Cranbourne: Our son has had an incredible first year at Cranbourne. The teachers are passionate, the lessons are engaging, and the pastoral care is top-notch. We've been particularly impressed with the school's focus on mental health and wellbeing, which has made a real difference to our child's confidence and happiness. *(Jul 2022)* ## Other schools in Basingstoke - [The Vyne Community School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/the-vyne-community-school-6638) — 1.7/5 (18 reviews) - [The Costello School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/the-costello-school-13662) — 1.8/5 (15 reviews) - [Bishop Challoner Catholic Secondary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/bishop-challoner-catholic-secondary-school-6651) — 1.9/5 (14 reviews) - [Everest Community Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/everest-community-academy-19225) — 3.4/5 (7 reviews) - [Brighton Hill Community School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/brighton-hill-community-school-22787) — 2.0/5 (6 reviews) - [St Mary's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/basingstoke/st-marys-church-of-england-voluntary-aided-junior-school-6573) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
