- **3/5** — Timings!!!: This school clearly does not value mocks, yr10s had to revise for their mocks in lessons. However! Instead they were forced to take part in sports day. In my opinion this is silly! If your stressed out to have a mock and *need* revision for it, you are forced to do sports day instead, which I believe was right before mocks. Worst part is most students are actually forced to take part , houses (such as dragon) do not have enough people, teachers and other students peer pressure you to have to tak… *(Jul 2025)*
- **2/5** — School priorities are scores > students: School doesn’t care really about mental health in students and the whole moving everyone’s lessons and splitting friend groups up for ‘team building’ ends up with unhappy students *(Sep 2022)*
- **2/5** — if we’re being honest: Pastoral support in lower school was underwhelming, left to teachers who should not have had to deal with a student population on the brink of crisis, however this picked up in sixth form.

Policy encouraged stu… *(Jan 2022)*
- **1/5** — Pretty bad lol: It sucks. Full of chavs and horrible people. Pretty nice teachers scattered about, however theres a computer science teacher who is very anti LGBTQ, a pe teacher who's Facebook got leaked of pictures of him naked in the shower and a supply teacher who is just very overly strict and nit-picky when shes in a bad mood. Others are bearable, but dont understand students' mental health (*** *****). In an exclusion meeting, she kept demanding eye contact even though shes informed of me having anxiety. … *(Jan 2021)*
- **3/5** — Written by a brick in the wall: Bruh,,,where do I even begin.The toxic masculinity and bullying labelled as "banter" is really high here.Um the headteachers nicer than everyone makes him out to be(top lad),the English department are lovely and half the pe teachers should defo be on a list.The CS teacher organises anti lgbt conferences up and down the country and sends his students out if they type their python in rainbow.Theres no individuality allowed here whatsoever despite the inspirational stickers on all the walls...unifo… *(Aug 2020)*
- **2/5** — Written by a brick in the wall: Um,generally nice teachers but refuse to get rid of the ICT teacher who set up anti lgbt conferences around the uk,mrs Calvin makes me want to cry and generally just insults students when shes in a bad mood.Bullying is a massive issue and half the teachers deny it even happens.English department are a lovely bunch,the head teacher is nicer then people think and generally cares about everyone,umm and half the pe teachers need to be put on a list...Teachers complain they cant afford glue sticks an… *(Aug 2020)*
