- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We're still getting used to the school's system and routines, but we're impressed with the facilities and the passion of the teachers. Our child has settled in well and seems to enjoy their classes. However, we're finding the communication with teachers a bit tricky at times. Fingers crossed for a smoother ride in the coming months! *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Best School Decision Ever!: We moved to Bradford for this school and it's been the best decision ever!

- **2/5** — Shit don’t even bother: Bad behaviour policy, lack of food at the canteen, school is infested with bullies staff don’t even care *(Jul 2021)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Community: My daughter attended BUH for her entire secondary education and I couldn't be prouder of the person she's become. The teaching staff were always available to support her and the school's focus on kindness and empathy has been a game-changer. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a well-rounded education! *(Jun 2021)*
