"Co-op Academy Grange Awful, terrible and bullies here"

VERY BAD SCHOOL!
Awful, terrible and bullies at this school, never ever bring your children to Grange school, it should not be open, your children will not be able to learn at all at this school.

The teachers here if they still working there should be fired and the bullies here who where at this and are at this school now are awful people who will make your childrens stay at Grange school feel terrible and make there education for your children worse due to being bullied at Grange school, when they should be doing well at school and enjoying it to help themselves in there education but unfortunately this school that is Grange does not do that or help your children get good grades.

The teachers here are even awful and terrible to.

NEVER SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO

It is an okay school. Has got a bad report. But it has quickly improved. The attitude and has got a lot better and the behaviour has vastly improved.

So I have 2 daughters which 1 out of 2 was being bullied by 15 year olds my daughters who are 11 and 12 of ages after long conversations on multiple occasions with miss whitehead the school failed to protect my daughters as this previous Friday a group of nearly 10 of mixed ages were going to jump my daughter aged 12 luckily my daughters cousins who were also 14 and 15 of ages came to collect them at the end of school as they were now finished and had holidays from school when they realised what was happening they did not hesitate to protect there cousins and backed my daughters up let's just say it did not go well for the bullies.

Surprisingly my partner receives a phone call during holidays advising us a investigation has taken place and during the holidays and my daughter has now been expelled for 5 days and could result to a permanent exclusion after the holidays although upon questioning how this investigation was completed as it was holidays they could not provide a answer.

So.i called the school personally after speaking to my partner and left numerous messages to be contacted so we can discuss this issue

Guess what still no call made back to me.

Well guess what I am gladly going to remove my daughters from this crap school very soon as this school is a complete failure.

And a complaint will be made to the education board alongside being broadcasted to telegraph and argus

I don't see a future for this school anymore.

"Not the best behaviour, but amazing nonetheless"

The school gets a bad reputation largely due to behaviour issues, but actually, it's one of the best schools around, in my opinion.

It has such amazing, kind-hearted, intelligent, and caring teachers that guide every student along every step of the way. It offers students such amazing opportunities, both creatively and academically. It has great facilities and offers a good range of subjects. Not to mention, the school's atmosphere is just so refreshing and almost homey - it feels quite comforting.

As it is rather well known, the biggest issue is indeed the behaviour, but even then, it's really not as bad as many make it sound. It's mostly several individuals per year group that have a tendency towards bad behaviour, not the majority of the year group.

Of course, your experience at any school also depends on how you present yourself to other students and to teachers (i.e., the friends you have, how you speak to teachers), how you behave, how hard you work, and the same is true for Grange. Only you can shape your experience (excluding things like bullying, which can't be controlled by yourself in the same way).

I have so many sweet and wonderful memories of my time here. I would not have traded my secondary experience for anything else - it was nothing short of wonderful.
