- **1/5** — What kind of school is this for teens to study in as a student: I do understand you. I agree I am a victim of this bullying myself I have been beaten most of my high school years on the heart, arms, legs basically anywhere possible.

- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We've been blown away by the dedication and enthusiasm of the teachers at Ladybridge High School. The school's commitment to supporting the whole child, not just their academic progress, is truly refreshing. From the leisure centre to the 'The Ladybridge Way' values, this school gets it just right. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Great Community!: We've been impressed with the care and support shown by the staff at Ladybridge High School. Our child has thrived in this inclusive environment, and we appreciate the variety of facilities and programs on offer. The school's values of honesty and respect are clearly put into practice, making it a wonderful place for our child to learn and grow. *(Jun 2022)*
- **1/5** — Probably the worst school in Bolton: Head teacher is inexperienced, when we had not a single staff member in during December he decided to keep the school open (which was kinda stupid of him to do) The pastoral team doesn’t do anything when you have an LGBTQ issue or bullying issue Wants to be “inclusive” and failing miserably. *(May 2022)*
- **1/5** — Awful: Absolutely no helpful rescources; For either me and anyone else and it takes up to two weeks to see the counselor Students don’t listen to supply teachers when *Asked to do certian things* Pastoral doesn’t do much about heavy situations at all especially when it’s *sexual assult* or heavy ableism, *(Feb 2022)*
- **1/5** — ******* ********: DOESNT do shit with bullying doesn’t do shit about homophobia or transphobia Students are ableist and racist Wouldn’t recommend *(Oct 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Our Experience: My child had a mixed experience at Ladybridge High School. On the one hand, they enjoyed the sports facilities and the 'Bridgefest' event was a highlight. On the other hand, we sometimes felt that certain aspects of their learning were not adequately supported. Overall, we're grateful for the opportunities our child had, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Sep 2021)*
