## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Oh yeah: I love the school so much it is wonderful the only thing bad is everything it is just very amazing *(Jul 2025)*
- **2/5** — Don’t send your child here: The bathrooms are disgusting, there are over 5 available but they only open 1 which only has 2 cubicles that work and then moan when we are late to lesson for using the bathroom. It is like a prison, when we walk in we have to get checked by multiple teachers to make sure our uniforms are ‘spotless’ before even getting to tutor. I’m currently in year 11 and the amount of supply teachers ive had throughout my time in the school is shocking. *(Mar 2025)*

- **1/5** — Teacher is a bully: Teacher accusing pupil of things not apologizing when found that they are wrong not letting pupil explain themselves it is disgusting and should be reported to board of governors. *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — I hate school: You have to put your phone in a box with a little bit of firm at the bottom. And if your phone breaks the teachers say it’s not the schools responsibility and that is the students. And there is a teacher who holds the phone with just one hand in the air and has almost dropped at once. (he still does it.) and the teachers will give you detention for literally anything even being a few seconds late to lesson. And the food is way overpriced for what it is and there is a queue and it is packed with … *(May 2023)*
- **2/5** — A student: You put your phone in a box with just a little bit of foam at the bottom and teachers say if the box gets dropped it’s not the schools fault it’s the students responsibility. And if you don’t put it in the box you might get spot checked where you empty your bag and pockets and stuff. And there is a teacher who holds the phone box on there one hand in the air through the crowded corridor and one time almost dropped it. And the teachers well most of them will literally give you a detention for any… *(May 2023)*
- **2/5** — Bulling and teachers: So basically I was picking up my 11 year old daughter at the gates and she comes put with a black eye and behind were a group of y9 girls laughing at her as ahe cried so when she got into the car she had an attitude. So the next day 8 went up too the school at 8:10 and they did nothing I involved the police and she moves to barr beacon and she hasn't been bullied there yet.................................... *(Mar 2023)*
