Instead of fostering an environment where students feel valued and understood, Turton seems to operate on a culture of indifferen… *(Feb 2025)* - **1/5** — Poor: Turton School has a policy of detention, exclusion, expulsion. Absolutely no clue how to deal with troubled or traumatised youngsters, they just unload them. Shameful, unacceptable, I hope they’ll be found accountable in the future. Check the postcodes for the kids who get away with behavioural issues & the ones who are expelled. Shame on you Turton School. *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — horrible school.: As a person with anxiety the school does nothing to help the amount of times I’d be crying my eyes out to them they’d send me back to my lesson but if I do my hair a certain way I’d get called out for it by teachers there mostly bothered about hair and makeup then how people are feeling and one thing to never tell the teachers about is your mental health they sent my parents an email telling me I needed to get sent to a mental asylum the teachers and kids there are horrible the amount of meeting… *(Mar 2023)* - **1/5** — Awful place: Honestly these people haven’t got the first clue on how to deal with secondary pupils. Detention, exclusion, expulsion is their only answer. I would never send a child there, especially not one with any any past trauma. Pathetic excuse for teachers especially the head teacher who incidentally has no parenting experience, and it shows *(Mar 2023)* - **1/5** — Awful place: Creates mental health issues .. teachers are bullies .. no communication ... no discussion .. try to manipulate you .. if a child is from a certain area then that child is labelled ..by staff and students .. *(Feb 2023)* - **2/5** — Turton School is a very bad school: never seen a school like it my cousin went there and still does and suffers from social anxiety and depression and the school do nothing about it they are absolutely delusional. not a good school at all they really need to sort them selves out. *(Jun 2022)* - **2/5** — not good: never send your children here so evidently bows towards certain groups of people, then a blind eye to discrimination, main focus is money *(Feb 2022)* - **1/5** — The reality of Turton school: In the nicest way possible no one gives a shit about mental health not the teachers and only the students mates, teachers arnt the kindest and have a very few nice-ish teachers *(Jan 2022)* - **3/5** — Teachers are delusional: Tend to preach about mental health importance and do nothing to help when students reach out or are blind to any signs of struggle.
