- **1/5** — Bad school: I got touched multiple times by teachers and students because I’m a 10/10 hour glass figure girl and got bullied *(Nov 2025)*
- **1/5** — Stupid teacher stupid school: God this school is crap honestly the maths teacher miss goddhard smth like that she is rude and hates her students! *(May 2025)*
- **1/5** — AVOID at ALL COSTS!: TERRIBLE pupil management! They take advantage of the fact they are an academy to off-roll children to suit their own needs as a school. Duty of Care is non existent if your child academically lacks their standards...they thrive themselves upon attendance & behaviour and tick boxing whilst hinding behind the fact that they lack over all Duty of Care for your child. It's an insestious school with every teacher working together to bully and set your child up to fail, focussing solely on the poor c… *(Feb 2025)*
- **2/5** — Reflection: I had an awful time in lower years, I was called fat every single day for 3 years and faced homophobic abuse, I attempted to report this multiple times with this receptionist lady who no longer does student reception and she'd always tell me to come back after school and then go "well student reception is closed come back tomorrow" and then the cycle repeated. Thank god she works on main reception now. I tried to reach out for support many times, not even many many many times, to no avail; I was… *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — Worst school in Wiltshire: This school is a horrible school, teachers don’t help with bullying at all. Many students had to leave to be homeschooled due to many traumas. Teachers don’t help with mental and physical needs (anxiety, dyslexia ect). Very dirty school nothing is ever cleaned and is just very dirty overall especially in the toilets. Students aren’t listened to and respected. Food is overpriced and gross (£4 for a small, raw sausage roll). No after school activities. No safety, people have ran out many times inc… *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — would never recommend: During my time at st Laurence I received no help whatsoever whilst getting bullied. Many students left this school as they had an awful experience as staff wouldn’t help. Headteacher is very rude and shouldn’t be qualified as he gets down in students faces and screams at them whilst they cry. Also the food is very overpriced and raw. Personally I would never recommend this school to anyone. They also wouldn’t help less gifted people who struggle with mental health and only prioritised the ‘smart… *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — Not a nice place: Bullying runs rampant in this hellhole. Instead of doing something about said bullying after the suicide of a year 9, they instead focus more on mental health briefings, which aren't inherently bad, what's bad is that they don't take any action against bullying whatsoever. School food is horrible and is only consistent in being stale. Most teachers are nice as long as your class doesn't act up. Headteacher is more of a dictator than anything. As for activities, there isn't much to do other than … *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — fix it.: i had an awful time as a student at st laurence. the excellent academic reputation of the school puts the teachers on pedestals and they will stop at nothing to uptake it, at the cost of many students' mental health. the behavioural system is nothing short of barbaric and is heavily infantilising towards older students. there is no sense of pride in the school and reinforcing a strict dress code has not aided this, opposing the outdated belief by senior staff members that it does. grouped punish… *(Jan 2024)*
- **1/5** — 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀: Ur all twats xx the food is mank and over priced I'm actually so fed up w having to go to here it's full of nonces and bullies 😍 fr driving me mad do better x *(Aug 2023)*
- **3/5** — Overall not too great: Lots of homophobia and abuse towards students less physically gifted. But also a good system of teachers to talk about you mental health or things at home to *(May 2023)*
