## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — This is not a school.: 2years 8 mounts and 3 weeks ago I faced the most disappointing day in which nor I or any other person of any ability should have endured. Joining Brentwood Ursuline convent night school for girls was one of the worst choices made for me. This school proves and is presented as a great convent school and yes the results may back up the learning etiquette for this school however, when it came down to the simply respect and offering of help and virtue for me and my family there standards seemed to n… *(Nov 2025)*
- **1/5** — Worst Nightmare: I gave one star as 0 stars was not an option. This school is too interested in results and statistics to the detriment of the cohort. Mental health is ignored, this school is everything that is wrong with a modern day society. Drop out rates are high as in year changes are in high demand. Headmaster suffers from self importance and disconnect from the parents *(Oct 2024)*
- **2/5** — Lack of bounds and lack of control , not what you expect: Not happy starting with teachers not able to set clear boundaries and take charge of the class . Girls able to talk back to teachers(was a big initial shock to my dd when she joined the school) Girls wearing fake eyelashes, rolling skirts , girls do what they want. Teachers not able to control the situation. My daughter’s mental health , behaviour deteriorated within 6months of joining school ,unfortunately. She observed the school culture and picked up some bad habits too , sadly. I heard from … *(Oct 2024)*
- **1/5** — Serious bullying: Bullying and serious is a few of the many negatives of this school My daughter has been physically attacked and a teacher suggested to her to ask her parents to move her to another school The school needs to tackle bullying. Bullies school expelled from the school to serve as a deterrent. The school is not doing anything about it and it is messing up the lives of the girls that are being bullied. A detailed report is going to be sent to Ofsted. Academic knowledge is not the only thing a growing … *(Jan 2024)*
- **1/5** — Why you should not go to ursuline: Students are quite unfriendly. The teachers do not care about your opinions. Students are often bullied which may affect their mental health emotionally. Their food is okay but the lines are hectic. It's only 2 lines for over a 1000 students. Students vape in toilet stalls, and wear fake eyelashes and makeup. Some students believe that they are better than others and it not nice. I think they should also improve the quality of their school uniform. *(Nov 2023)*
- **1/5** — VERY BAD SCHOOL: This school doesn’t know how to treat students as a past student this school is unhelpful to children with home situations and they will only keep labelling your children badly if they have problems or things they can’t control or change so they will treat your child unfairly THIS IS A BAD SCHOOL *(Aug 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great First Year: Our daughter has just started at Brentwood Ursuline, and we're all very happy with the school so far. The Year 7 open evening was well-organized, and the teachers have been great with helping her settle in. We look forward to seeing her grow and develop over the next few years. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: My daughter loves attending Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School. The state-of-the-art sixth form block is impressive, and the teachers are all so supportive. The school's emphasis on duty and responsibility is wonderful, and I'm confident that it's preparing my child for a successful future. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — my review for buchs: not good in my opinion,, wouldn't recommend!! some safeguarding staff aren't trustworthy. draining for kids mental health. don't do anything about bullying,, and ableism *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — Worst School Ever!: Most HORRIBLE school ever. They don’t listen to us when we don’t like something racist that a teacher said. Then when we do something and acc speak up about it we get shouted at and blamed and the problem doesn’t even get fixed. Multiple teachers have said the n word blatantly to students, but apparently it’s ok because they’re using it in context. And like they’re more worried about how u present yourself than your mental health and then when they try to ‘help’ they just tell u to join an anxie… *(Oct 2021)*
