## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Attacks and Bullys: Teachers couldn’t care less about your mental health as long as the school looked good. There was only one teacher who was any good at helping every student he could by giving all of them the same treatment. This teacher is called Mr Callaghan. The rest couldn’t care less. I had a friend in my classes who was attacked by two students in the school and the police asked the school to keep them separate however, they didn’t do that. They instead let them sit on the same lunch table and torment her … *(Dec 2022)*
- **2/5** — it’s okay: needs a new head teacher who will actually do his job and speak to parents and pupils without getting other staff to do it for him. there are a few nice teachers e.g. miss james, mrs armstrong. doesn’t deal with bullying very well. was bullied and was crying in the toilets deputy head found me and i explained and nothing happened to the bullies. was sitting in the toilets crying during lesson because of how bad it was. mrs brough found me and tried to make me go back to lesson for obvious reason… *(Sep 2022)*
- **2/5** — not good: was getting bullied an rumours spread around about me. didn’t do anything. walked out of lesson crying. didn’t do anything. skiving in the toilets while clearly crying. got in trouble. they don’t care about bullying even if you tell them. *(Sep 2022)*

- **1/5** — Very bad don’t go: They are satanic nazis don’t be fooled.I was locked up because I was a was Jewish and forced to lick a poster of hitler *(Jul 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good School but Room for Improvement: We've been pleased with the progress our child has made at John Henry Newman. However, we've noticed that the school meal options could be improved, and the PE kit requirements can be a bit confusing. Overall, it's a good school with potential. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: We were really impressed with the education our child received at John Henry Newman. The school's extra-curricular programs, such as the Young Carers initiative, are fantastic and have a real impact. The facilities are top-notch and the staff are very supportive. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — decent: nothing about it really stands out, it’s a pretty typical Catholic secondary school *(Aug 2021)*
- **4/5** — its ok?: i am going into year 11 in september and honestly my experience hasnt been bad nor amazing. just kind of in the middle. some of the teachers are amazing, some are alright and one or two are just terrible. situations like bullying do get sorted eventually but not relatively quickly. theres not many clubs or anything but i suppose its a small school so. the new building is nice on the outside but on the inside its quite plain at the minute but i think they will make it feel more school like. gener… *(Jul 2021)*
- **3/5** — All round decent school.: Overall Decent school. Smallish compared to others in area. Staff are alright with dealing with situations. Majority of pupils are also well behaved. Schools has some good facilities according to its size I heard they recently moved to a new site. From my experience the majority of problem are solved but slowly. There is room for improvement. *(Nov 2020)*
