- **3/5** — Bingley grammar: As a student doing GCSE’s i think that theres a wide range of teachers, some that are good, some that are bad. However i do sometimes question whether some are genuinely qualified to do their jobs. Don't get me wrong i have had/have some great teachers which i trust to get me the grades that i need and make my performing in lesson better, but some teachers cant teach properly or are blatantly rude, especially computer science teachers. I don't do computer science for gcse, but i remember all the… *(Apr 2024)*
- **1/5** — Bingley grammar school: This school is horrible for bieng bullied I’m a student at this school and teachers don’t support students verry well at all there are constant fights and little consequences consider B4 sending your children there as they might get bullied. In my school there are constantly people of “I’ll” and not able to come to school due to the severe bullying that we go through with little support from the school. The attitude from teachers not wanting to support students has an effect on us too. consider … *(Jan 2024)*
- **1/5** — up to you if you come: teacher don’t give one and someone give off bad vibes *(Dec 2023)*
- **3/5** — i dont have a title thanks: School is good though needs a new behaviour policy. last year i was in a horrid class surrounded by people who say horrible things to you for no reason at all, I was disrupted around the whole class screaming, throwing stuff and practically bullied for the entire year, which made me not learn what i needed to learn. Most teachers just sit there and stare at everything going on and then give out “choices” which mean absolutely nothing. Then if the disruptive students get “conversations” or “deten… *(Oct 2023)*
- **1/5** — Don't go here: I’m a student at bungled grammar, do not go here. People are horrible to eachother, always bullying and fights and girls being horrible to girls. Staff are appauling, I got a detention for going on my phone at the end of the day which you are allowed to do. Very strict teachers and the staff will act nicer in front of parents than they actually are. I wish I could’ve gone to beckfoot but I’m too far away. It’s getting to the point where the school is making my mental health bad. I warned you, do… *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Bingley Grammar School Review: Parent of a year 7 student, I think the school has been excellent and done whatever it can to support and nurture my child. I think it’s extremely difficult for schools to cater for so many diverse personalities on top of the attainment driven targets set by the government. There will be times when the school maybe falls short of expectations, however I do not have unrealistic expectations as a parent and I believe that the teachers and senior leaders try hard and do the best as they can in a ve… *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Fucking shit ‘ole: Never send ur kids here as they blatantly refuse to do anything about your child’s feelings and down right hate children. This school is an abomination *(May 2023)*
- **4/5** — Student perspective: I got bullied a lot and it took half a year to realise but staff are nice and overall just great education *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — rubbish school: rubbish school, doesnt like to close school even if it got really bad snow and ice conditions *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — disgusting and authoritarian school of unlikeable "people": Past student of this school and my thoughts on this school are all awful. Firstly the biggest issue is the staff, mostly the higher ups who enforce ludicrous rules that are so authoritarian that they make the soviet union look like a wonderland. Mr western should be downright ashamed of himself for running such a disgusting school full of thieves who ostracize anyone who shows some modicum of skill that doesnt relate to the academic work they are forced to listen to rather than learn. When I att… *(Feb 2023)*
