"Teachers"

It's absolutely horrendous. All they care about is attendance and uniform and every kid I know there hates all the teachers and everything about it.

If I could leave 0 stars I would.

"Love the Progress Evenings!"

I really appreciate how Bodmin College keeps us informed about our child's progress through regular Progress Evenings. It's great to see how the teachers are helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. The school uniform is also really practical and comfortable.

"Mixed Feelings about the Curriculum"

Overall, we're happy with Bodmin College, but I'm not entirely convinced about the new curriculum. I think it could be more focused on career development and preparing students for the real world. That being said, the teachers are great and the school's values align with ours.

"Unhappy times"

Sadly my grandchild has been bullied and
not received much support. In fact being the victim has been ostracised at times. This has knocked their confidence in going to school and socialising. How sad when school days are meant to be the best days of your life!!!!

"Students support "

I wrote a review regarding my grandchild this week but within being put on it was taken off.
Bullying and lack of support is appalling.
I hardly think people want to read about the canteen!!!!!!!

"Fantastic School"

I had a rough experience in years 7-9 with my mental health, but the school really helped me get back on track. The teachers are fantastic. There’s always a few staff members who are a bit annoying, but on the whole I’ve had an amazing experience. Great people, great teachers, great quality of learning. It might take a while to feel at home, but once you’ve bonded with the teachers and your peers it’s all good.

"Hypocritical teachers "

The students are awful and complete bullies, especially if you want to work hard instead of messing around. Some of the teachers are very hypocritical and don’t have a clue what they’re doing, others are wonderful.
