## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — This school is bad.: Bullies, bad teachers and chaos. The whole school is bad and your kids should never go to this one. Everyone in this school sucks and it’s just gonna make you go insane. You should go to others school that are nearby because I’m telling you, this isn’t a good school for your kid. Teachers have secret relationships and kids are rude towards each other, saying bad stuff. I would’ve gave this school a 0/5 stars but sadly I can’t. Please save your kids from this monstrosity of a school. *(Nov 2024)*
- **1/5** — Student perspective: This school is horrible, i started my education in 2019 and was one of first years. Since then It has gone down hill. There are rules such as no brands anywhere not even nike socks, you must not wear religious necklaces/symbols if you do they must not be on show. You have to line up for lunch and break to get into the canteen because there is not enough room for everyone even if you are not eating. The school is way to small and even with this new extension there is not new canteen. Additionally… *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — Negligence and unaccountable for staff failings: Where do I start. Initially this school seem the perfect place to send my son however the lack of communication and the attitude of staff towards the children are appealing. There disregard concerns brought to there attention and never hold their staff accountable for the unprofessional approach when dealing with children who may have emotional challenges are are ill equips to handling appropriately. My son has been become very unhappy at this school due to the unfair treatment he has received f… *(Dec 2023)*
- **5/5** — Highly recommended: Fantastic school. Teachers go above and beyond. My sons have gone on so many trips and visits. Facilities are a bit cramped at the mo but will be fantastic next year (building work). School always responds to concerns and communication is the best I have ever known in a school. Teaching stretches the students and they know what they are doing. Behaviour had a reset after last Ofsted and is now really good. Laptops for all have been so helpful. Highly recommended *(Jul 2023)*
- **5/5** — Review please see above: The staff and students are a credit. Those students who need further support are well catered for. Its a kind and caring school who promote students to be their best selves................ *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE: This school is so bad. Students are bad. They asked the students to behave just before ofsted came in which they are not allowed to do. But still managed to get a bad ofsted report. Teachers are bad and can’t do there job. I changed school because of the level of stupidity and stress. Please do not send your child here. There’s plenty of better ones… *(Dec 2022)*
