- **1/5** — Never work in this school: I have worked a for a few terms as a supply teacher. I would not recommend any one to work here for even a day. Firstly the staff in notley are completely ignorant, they would not even notice a supply teacher. Not only that, they are not at all supportive or helpful. Some would even be nice to you and behind the door they would be sending email to seniors complaining about something you did wrong for example leaving a piece of paper in their classroom when you were covering a lesson. They are re… *(Jun 2025)*
- **1/5** — Worst school in Essex: My partner worked for this school on a couple of occasions and each time she had a worse experience than the last. The school faculty are not fair to their staff so can only imagine how they treat the kids. My partner has told me how they're happy to get rid of teachers who dare to speak out about anti-social behaviour from the kids and will happily remove them from teaching at the school, or in other cases because of so called "budget cuts". They're not at all focused on their students behaviou… *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — Awful!!!!: This school is awful, as a teacher the students have no discipline or any good behavior. during a class where students are throwing bundles of pen's around which could hurt anyone and also hit me on the head. an on call was placed for additional support. a person came and all they said was oh this is an awful class and then left. after the lesson I went to the head of cover and requested for this particular class to have an additional person for support so I can focus on teaching the lesson rath… *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — waisy stones: bullshit ass school, suspend you after 10 minutes getting in after repeatingly telling them that your going lesson and follow you, do fuck all about bullying since they are fucked up in the head, raw food, rats all over the school, rubbish everywhere, fucking rude to all students, not 1 good thing about it, and theirs no covers that speak any english, wanna be animals walking round *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — Notley high: It is a very bad school with bad teachers do not care if you’re crying only about uniform this school makes my mental health bad and I no like any teachers at all they only care about uniform and makeup when their students are literally suffering and the school has no care go to another school not this one unless you like strict teachers, no freedom and imprisonment. *(Jun 2024)*
- **1/5** — I got shot by a teacher: I got shot by a teacher *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — Pedos x: The teachers here actually sexually assaults student like wtf. “You can’t wear your skirt that short bc it makes the male teachers uncomfortable and distracted” WTF YOU HAVE SOME BALLS OR SMT INFACT GET A CASTRATION BC MAN YOU SHOULDNT BE A MAN PISS OFF *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — BEWARE THI SSCHOOL WILL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS: This school is so bad. They have zero control over things that are important like the hygiene of the school, the bullying and most importantly the fights. The food is absolutely horrid - i had one meal and got food poisoning from it. This school was even rated inadequate from ofsted which says a lot. This school genuinely gave me depression and anxiety. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Notley high: I hate this school. They do absolutely nothing for me and i throw up every morning because of the anxiety it gives me. The new headteacher is complete shambles i pray to god she gets fired, she does nothing but add stupid rules that have no purpose. Uniform policy is stupid, how are nails affecting anyones school experience. Do not ever send your children to NHS, they will end up with terrible mental health *(Dec 2022)*
