## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Terrible school.: Unfair school system, making pupils sit in isolation all day with work that is not meant for them. (They are meant to have their timetabled work from teachers but are given a history book to learn from all day whilst sat there) How is this beneficial to their education at all?? Had many incidents with this school believing the bully over many other students, favouritism at it’s finest. My sister and many others in her year group were made to rip off her very SHORT and natural nails in front of t… *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — CRAP SCHOOL: This school is a right shit show, the amount of kids dealing with bullying and the teachers just say "you'll be fine" I'm tempted to whack them round the fucking head. The teachers are shit and the students are horrible. They don't even clean the place and the toilets are minging. DONT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SANITY!! *(Jun 2023)*

- **5/5** — A wonderful school experience for our daughter: We cannot speak highly enough of Oldbury Wells School. The facilities are second to none, and the values of ASPIRE and ENJOYMENT are truly embedded in the school culture. Our daughter has thrived in this supportive and inclusive environment, and we are so grateful for the excellent education she is receiving. *(Jun 2022)*
- **1/5** — Awful: Behaviour terrible and teachers keep leaving. Can't blame them, wish I coul;d. They can't even be bothered to put paper or soap oin the bogs . There was a mouldy sandwich on the steps in the hall for over a month and we had to sit by it in assembly GROSS. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — A mixed experience, but with some shining stars: We have mixed feelings about Oldbury Wells School. On the one hand, our daughter has been enjoying the History lessons and the annual Battlefields trip is a fantastic experience. However, we have also experienced some difficulties with communication and support from the school staff. Overall, we feel that the school has some great strengths, but could improve in certain areas. *(Feb 2021)*
- **5/5** — A great school with a strong sense of community: We were very happy with our experience at Oldbury Wells School. The school's commitment to providing a wide range of extracurricular activities and programs was excellent, and our son was particularly enthusiastic about the House System and the Charity work. We felt that the school provided a safe and supportive environment for our child to grow and develop. *(Sep 2020)*
