- **1/5** — been here for the full year and I don't miss it ever: I've been bully in this school and nothing was done. Got told to "ignore them" and they will "eventually stop" they ever did. Teachers had favouritism and one of the RE teachers asked my class to "make a new pronoun" for someone we was learning about because they was non-binary. Kids was ruthless when bullying told a girl to actually kill herself when she told them she going to kill herself because of the bullying and NOTHING was done. please do not bring your kid to here they do not care all th… *(Nov 2024)*
- **1/5** — Please don't send your loved one here: Extremely poor management and quality of teaching. Non existent homework and if there is any snow albeit light, the school is the only one in the Borough to remain closed for days. During covid, the online provision was very poor or non existent. As a parent you try to give your child the best start in life and you'll be making a big mistake if you send him/her to Blackwood Comp. *(Jul 2023)*

- **1/5** — absolute joke of a school: never go to this disgusting excuse of a school (if you have the choice to go somewhere else). anywhere is better than this place. most teachers are inconsiderate and very unprofessional. i have, on multiple occasions, heard them swear/been sworn at. the only departments i can really rely on are history and some tech teachers. the others are lazy, repetitive and overall rude. as a student who joined in year 8, a teacher got very aggressive at me for ‘not bringing my book in’ when i didn’t even ha… *(Sep 2022)*

- **1/5** — Do not go here: Writing this in one of my lessons here right now so I can share a few things. My biology teacher is awful, we have never learned anything and for the past three weeks, we have had supply teachers. The people here are awful. And then there's the food. Most of the time the pasta they serve is soggy, the chips are awful and tasteless, and when they offered ketchup, salt and vinegar (which they don't anymore), you had to pay extra for a pathetic amount. The year I came here, there was a new headteac… *(Feb 2022)*
- **1/5** — Bad water: This school gave me over a month expired water! *(Jan 2022)*
