## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Not good: Honestly you shouldn’t go beret the reviews spark for them selves 1.9 djust horrible *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — Cruel: Toxic Treat child badly and staff Not a safe place Fiddle results *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Awful learning atmosphere.: This is possibly one of the worst places to send your child/ren to. Over previous years, alongside other family and friends children, ours have attended here. It was of an acceptable standard, our children happy and where there was potential to learn and do well. As a result, we have continued to use this school as preference. Things have changed. No idea what goes on in that school now. The low morale is terrible. Do not send your child here. There is zero recognition given to students for thei… *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — metal vape: absolutely brill school sent my son to school today and he texted me saying that the school are using metal detectors when the children go to the bathroom. Now i know if my son is using on of those vape things. thank you to team sg i have your back 1000% *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — send naughty children here: my daughter get bullied here,, would recommend shes a good girl now *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — BEST SCHOOL IN BLACKPOOL #TEAMSG: Amazing school sent my child here and she absolutely loved it !! They are very strict however but i think its a good thing so the children get to learn how they will be in the future. 10/10 school!! send your children here !! daughter was a nightmare in primary but a couple months into being at this school she became different for the better !! best school in Blackpool for sure. *(Nov 2022)*
- **1/5** — If I could rate zero stars, I would. But unfortunately I can't.: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO SUFFER INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. St Georges is terrible. Firstly, the rules are completely out of hand. No child is allowed to use the toilet unless they have a doctors note- why should I have to be in possession of a doctors note to use the restroom? The school is literally filled with teenagers, young ladies on their monthly have to suffer prolonged periods without changing their sanitary towel/tampon, and when the students are sent to break… *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Don’t send them here: All I can say is wtf has happened I’ve just left here and omg it was hell, start off year 7 I actually enjoyed school come end of year 11 and I want to genuinely off my self.they don’t do anything about bullying I was bullied for 5 years and they did jack shit about it. Your told of if your shoes aren’t right or if your hairs is too short they will catch you out on anything and everything Some of the teachers are amazing ( mr Standring, mr Uphill ,mr Gohil all taught me and were awesome ) *(Aug 2022)*
- **1/5** — Wow..: All I can say is wtf has happened to this place.. I’ve finished here this year and In yr 7 I actually enjoyed school but by year 11 I wanted to off my self being there. Having to be silent in a corridor or being told off for not saying good morning/afternoon to a teacher it takes the piss. Was told by a teacher I can’t do what I want in the future because it’s not for me and to look for a new idea. Some of the teachers are amazing though ( mr Standring, mr Uphil and mr Gohill were the best ) *(Aug 2022)*
- **2/5** — Not good: My experience at St. George’s went extremely downhill in my last year there. The strict uniform code and measures to control the students appearances completely took over the fact that a school should be a safe environment to learn and not be judged for your appearance. I wore white high knee socks on my first day back in year 11 not knowing that it had to be black socks, to which I was then told if I don’t change them then there would be consequences. Furthermore students were disciplined for f… *(May 2022)*
