- **1/5**: I got yelled at for being on my period.. by a female teacher?? (miss. truselle or whatever he name is spelt like) so its changeover and im panicking so i approach her and say "miss ive started my period can i please go to the toile-" i get cut off before i get a "NO GET TO LESSON, NOOOOOOOOW" should i mention how she was litterally demoted for being such a horrible head teacher *(Sep 2026)*
- **1/5** — Absolutely horrible: The school is a disgrace due to the amount of mental health problems it causes.The teacher do not care about your well-being at all. A lot of students get rejected by the “wellness centre” safeguarding in the school doesn’t help those who are actually struggling in school.The amount of bullying in this school could go on the world records.The school only puts stricter rules as if that’s gonna stop people from bullying.This school is horrible,you can’t even help another student without getting in… *(May 2025)*
- **1/5** — horrible: Absolutely horrible, ruined my mental health. I am not just talking about getting shouted at once so I cry, no, the teachers would bully us, belittle us and more. If your throwing up before school? You still have to come in to maintain attendance. But if you don’t have a tie? Or have the wrong coloured socks? You’re getting excluded. When you’re being bullied, they don’t care. The wellness centre is horrific too. So many people are in there who do not need it, many people just use it to skip les… *(Apr 2025)*
- **1/5** — Wouldn't recommend: School is more interested in ankles and uniform than actually provide a safe nurturing environment. School to parent communication is poor and punishment is the answer to everything. *(Nov 2024)*
- **1/5** — Beckfoot Thornton is unsafe and neglectful.: My experience at Beckfoot Thornton was marred by serious issues that the school failed to address adequately. Bullying was rampant, creating a toxic environment where many students, myself included, felt unsafe and unsupported. The administration's response to bullying incidents was inadequate, leading to a mass exodus of students seeking safer educational environments.Additionally, the school demonstrated a shocking disregard for reports of sexual assault. Victims were often left unsupported an… *(Jul 2024)*
- **1/5** — It sucks: This really sucks don’t wanna go back on Monday *(Aug 2023)*
- **5/5** — good best school ever: this scholl is great *(Aug 2023)*
- **1/5** — No, Just No: It is not great at all to put it simply. Half of the teachers don’t care about your well-being or seem to just yell at you to stop being rude when you try to tell them what happened as if they expect someone who is breaking down to be able to form a whole sentence without mistakes. You get told off for the simplest of things like talking even if you were simply POINTING at a word to help the person next to you. Their education system is overall crap since most teachers are unable to meet a child… *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Awful school: Terrible through and through *(Oct 2020)*
- **1/5** — I wouldn't send my kid there: The school is in a terrible condition. It is very unhygienic as there is litter and chewing gum under the tables and sticks to your legs. The teachers tell you off for no reason, even when your trying to help someone out. If you don't have your top button or tie done up properly they put you in isolation for the day. They have a very annoying "one-way" system that doesn't work because the corridors are very claustrophobic. Students are not allowed to be inside the building during lunch, if you a… *(Sep 2020)*
