"Bad teaching"

Absolutely wouldn’t recommend this school at all. One teacher in particular is extremely unprofessional towards my child Miss Z M who is an English teacher. Screams and shouts at my child, coming home all the time complaining about her. School needs to redo their ofsted and get better teachers
