Smithills School

Terrible School. No one took bullying seriously. Fights happening in the hallways, lack of support. Very hierarchical. If you care about your child don’t send them here. Kids beat up in front of teacher during lessons.

vile school. been there 11 to 15 and don't recommend it to anyone who wants to leave secondary school with a stable mental health. students have no shame and just troll around, disrupting everybody's learning and most teachers don't do anything about it at all.
don't even get me started on the education. whenever there is a substitute, they get treated like they are not human and some subs just sit on their phones scrolling. there is a lack of education in this school and the majority of people are performing below track, even though they worked so hard. I STRONGLY do not recommend this school to anybody who wants to be successful in life.

I've been truly impressed with the facilities and the staff at Smithills School. Our child has settled in so well and is thriving. The values of community, excellence, and independence are evident in everything they do. We can't recommend this school highly enough!

My child is loving their time at Smithills School. The High School Musical production was fantastic and the staff are all very supportive. However, I do sometimes struggle to get in touch with the teachers and wish there were more opportunities for parent-teacher communication.
