- **2/5** — don’t send your child here.: i am so glad i have moved from this school , it is by far probably the worst school in bracknell that you could send your child to. The teachers put absolutely no effort in to even TRY and teach the students until they get into year 9. If you asked any student in garth if they enjoy the school 9/10 would say no. Do not send your child here , the teachers are unfair , rude , unprofessional and gossip / lie about students . *(Dec 2023)*
- **2/5** — some bits are good, others not so: i had a guy take pictures up mine and some other girls skirts and send it to his friends and he didn’t get expelled or anything and i had to sign a contract saying that if i even talked about him i’d get internally exculeded as they wanted the school to feel “safe” for the person who made it unsafe. i also had a teacher not let me go to the toleit whilst i was on my period even tho i asked mulitply times to the point i had to walk out and he gave me a dt. apart from that there is some lovely tea… *(May 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good school!: So far is good this year all staff and teachers are friendly and my girl feels listen to when there's an issue. Education is good in there and food is great. Very clean In toilets. Security is good. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Useless and waste of money: Not a soul: Garth Hill College: Let's built a replica WW1 trench, claim it is funded by the lottery when despite being bankrupt we paid for it ourselves. *(Sep 2021)*
- **1/5** — Sucks: Don’t care at all about mental health, all they care about is attendance. Some teachers are ok but majority suck :) *(Jul 2021)*
- **3/5** — Crusty: Lessons are so boring. Toilets smell of vape and crusty toes. There is no soap. The food in the cafeteria is cold sometimes and that makes me sad. Some teachers are trying their best. But there is no saving this school. Sorry. *(May 2021)*
- **2/5** — It’s a hard to describe school: Nothing is really done about bullying, victims get punished. Mrs Frost is amazing though 😎 *(Apr 2021)*
- **1/5** — Avoid this school, like the Coronavirus: Garth: we dont tolerate bullying Also Garth: Let's punish the victims of bullying because that makes sense *(Apr 2021)*
