"Ableist teachers, bad security"

There are several good teachers at chilton trinity, however a select few of the higher-up staff are ableist and disrespectful to students with further needs. One teacher I had removed pieces of my final art project for his display. As well as this, during my time there, we had ex-students break into the school and attempt to cause damage. The security lacks severely, as this should not be easy to accomplish. incidents also occurred where students successfully stole sharp tools and attempted to use them as weapons against other students. I did not feel safe here, or comfortable around certain members of staff, because of their disrespectful nature to my classmates + family.

"My review"

They never help with mental health and only focus on your attendance and their reputation.

"Good but Room for Improvement"

My child is settling in well at Chilton Trinity, but I do feel that the communication between teachers and parents could be better. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are knowledgeable, but I'm not entirely sure about the school's approach to homework yet.

"Excellent Support System!"

I'm really impressed with the support system here at Chilton Trinity. My child is thriving and the teachers are so approachable. The 'Work Hard, Be Kind' mantra really resonates with me too.

"My review"

My son is off atm due to his dad being Terminal I’ll with cancer
All they done in the last 6 months is try to pressure our son to go back to school
They only want to listen to what they want to hear
They have no people skills
all they care about is they numbers in school not what our son going through
I find them not very supportive

"Poor handling"

This school doesn't really care about bullying, they'll also say they support lgbtq+ while never actually teaching about it and if you're getting bullied for being trans, gay, ect, they don't actually care, it's almost as if you have to meet a certain standard of cis straight and 'normal' to get help with bullying because nobody actually hears my side or anything.

"Decent"

It’s a decent school and the teachers are lovely but I have asked for help with my anxiety but the advice wasn’t very good and they won’t sort out all the bullies in my year and it’s really annoying because I can’t do anything in class without getting a least one negative comment and the teachers just ignore it

"I enjoy this school, and would reccomend it"

I am currently in my second unit in this school, and it's going great. The teachers are lovely, I'm actually learning stuff (unlike wembdon st georges in the same area) and I thouroughly would reccomend it. I'm autistic, and so far that has brought no issues, and eve with Covid-19 making it worse and disabling us from actually doing most things within the ciriculum. We recently made fabric phone cases in DT, and it was great. I love this school, and would without a doubt reccomend it.

"Not the worst school I've been too but... "

I stated several times that I need mental health help and Sure, They tried to help me But instead they sent me a counselor who didn't give a shit about my identity and kept using the wrong pronouns. I did however love my teachers so That was alright.
