"Prison fodder"

A great place to send your children if they display an aptitude for juvenile crime.

"Bad reception set up"

Felpham community college has the worst reception I've ever come across. Never can you call them and expect to get an answer. it's very frustrating and means you cannot enquire about anything in a rush instead you leave a message on an answerphone and hope fir the best.

"Go here! Its amazing!"

Fantastic school! I would say that, in an area with quite a bad record for secondary schools, this school is amazing! I know students from many other schools in the area and have heard almost nothing but stories of fights and misbehaving, but this school is great with that and has very little of it, and when it does unfortunately happen, they deal with it very swiftly and well (in my opinion)

"Fake school"

All false advertising teachers dont care about you and verbally and on a rare case physically abuse you. Big bullying issue with multiple harassment, phsyical, verbal and cyber abuses. Don't even get me started on the toilets

"Fake af school"

So much bullying. Not safe. The teachers dont really care about you they prefer the bullies. Lots of judgment. Not really any safe spaces as most bullies can acess there. Tell them you have a mental disorder and they just deny it and dont help. Corridors are always crowded. People do the deed in the chav infested bathrooms. You get told off for sticking up for yourself. Some teachers are nice but only 1or2 per subject. I did hear that one teacher actually assulted a student and still works there. Basically unless you wanna keep your sanity and be mentally stable don't go here its all false advertising.

"Don´t let bullies get away with it, plz"

Bullying is everywhere, when my son complained the teachers DID NOT escalate, they did nothing to help. I think you should install more CCTV cameras as bullying in corridors is rife!

"Wonderful Experience for My Child"

I've been blown away by the facilities at Felpham Community College. The new cricket pitch is fantastic and the staff are so supportive of the students. My child has really thrived since joining the school and the focus on achievement, care, and equity is truly inspiring.

"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

We had a good experience at Felpham Community College, but I think the school could do more to support students with special needs. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are generally very supportive, but I did find the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times.

"Don’t go here "

Absolutely terrible. I was bullied and they did nothing to help. I was being harassed and nothing happened to the harassers
