- **2/5** — NEVER GOOO: AWFUL is all i can say *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Canon Slade school horrendous: A absolute terrible school Canon Slade. Their most recent Ofsted in November 22 reflects this as Requires Improvement in all areas. I had to take my child out of that school due to on going bullying and lack of action from the school they did nothing at all to support my child. I have never experienced a school who are so arrogant and ignorant. *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — NEVER GO TO CANON: Awful school as a former student they do nothing about bulling and racism and homophic stuff please never send your child hear they will leave wanting to die *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — A fantastic school with amazing teachers!: My daughter has been attending Canon Slade School for 4 years now and I'm so impressed with the school's values and facilities. The teachers are always supportive and encouraging, and the school's commitment to the Children's University programme has really helped my daughter develop a love for learning. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and facilities!: My son has thrived at Canon Slade School and we're so grateful for the excellent education and opportunities he's had here. The school's commitment to PSHE and the timetabled curriculum offer has really helped him develop important life skills and values. The facilities are also first-rate, and the school's extra-curricular provision is fantastic. We've been really pleased with the school's approach to academic rigour and the variety of subjects on offer. *(Mar 2022)*
- **1/5** — number one school in bolton my bumhole: teachers are shit. sorry. didn’t help with racism whatsoever. when george floyd dies, they didn’t do a assembly about racism, no no no. they did a little culture day and thought everything would automatically be so much better. nothing changed if you’re wondering. they don’t discipline racist students. on too of that, did nothing about sexual assault accusations, which were true. and the guy who was accused went on to text a thirteen year old girl. do better. also it’s literally prison. complain… *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great school with some areas for improvement: We've been at Canon Slade School for about a year now and have generally been pleased with the experience. The school's Christian values are really evident and the teachers are all very friendly and approachable. However, I do think that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. We've had a few instances of miscommunication and it's been frustrating to deal with. *(Jun 2021)*
- **3/5** — ......: Teachers are alright, but some students behaviour is terrible and a few teacher can’t control them. apart from that overall a decent school *(Mar 2021)*
- **3/5** — Could be worse: Pros: Lots of passionate teachers. Carol Service and Founder’s Day Service are good. Cons: Useless pastoral team. Taking RS GCSE is compulsory. Lack of discipline. Registration is way too long. Lack of support for those struggling in classes. *(Dec 2020)*
