My word. The vistas upon which my gaze has alighted are unutterable terrors. One must forfeit one's reason to attain that which I have witnessed, and what I have secured and relinquished in this realm. The unfortunate children... I cannot fathom the prospect of enduring more than a week at this institution, let alone attending it with any regularity! I have … *(Mar 2025)* - **1/5** — Take your kids out while you can: Probably the worst school I've ever been to, not gonna lie. My educational and mental health needs weren't met by any SEN staff, I was constantly threatened with court when I didn't attend but bare in mind I was being bullied and not only did staff brush it off, giving me a piece of paper to report it on which went nowhere, telling me to just "ignore it" and praise the ground the bully walked on but the staff then started bullying me too. Talk about "safeguarding" huh? Also sitting behind a desk… *(Jan 2025)* - **1/5** — Literally so bad: This school is so bad and I’m glad I’m leaving. I’ve been left with nothing but trauma from the things I experienced and saw while attending this school. The bullying is so bad, they don’t do anything except for ignoring, taking sides and bias. They have let so many students down with their mental health and is responsible for so many at home and struggling because of how poorly it’s dealt with, teachers are meh but steer clear from student services unless you want to be talked to like dirt and … *(Jun 2023)* - **2/5** — Terrible.: The behaviour system has crashed, even multiple teachers have said so, I'm glad I'm leaving this year but it's bad because we're being given the same harder tests even tho teachers keep having strike days and disrupting our learning properly. They don't send people out anymore so i find it hard to learn in lessons I struggle with which isn't fair, if people are going to be bad and not focus on trying to get their GCSEs send them out. The people who are, are ultimately getting effected by it. *(Apr 2023)* - **3/5** — Mixed experience: We have had a mixed experience at Robert Blake School. The staff are generally friendly and our daughter has enjoyed her time there, but we have experienced some issues with communication and organisation. We hope that the school will continue to improve in these areas. *(Feb 2023)* - **5/5** — A wonderful school for our daughter: We are so grateful to have found Robert Blake School. The values of Aspire, Achieve and Celebrate really shine through in the way the staff and students interact with each other. Our daughter is thriving and we love the opportunities she has to develop her interests in maths and ICT. *(Jun 2022)* - **5/5** — Excellent support for students with SEN: As a parent of a student with SEN, I have been really impressed with the support that Robert Blake School provides. The school's SENCo, Mr Spearing, has been a huge help and we feel confident that our son is in a safe and supportive environment. *(Mar 2022)* - **4/5** — Very helpful: This school is very helpful when you are having problems some teachers thought are not strict enough and will let students disrupt the lesson. Also some teacher will not help when you are stuck *(Dec 2021)* - **5/5** — A great education for our son: We moved away from Bridgwater but we still look back on our time at Robert Blake School with fond memories. The school's focus on maths and ICT was excellent and our son developed a strong foundation in these subjects. We would highly recommend the school to anyone. *(Dec 2021)* - **2/5** — Bad school: A few of the teachers were good, but bullying problems got so bad that teachers started agreeing with some students when they bullied and picking on other students *(Jun 2021)* ## Other schools in Bridgwater - [Haygrove School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/haygrove-school-12558) — 2.3/5 (20 reviews) - [Chilton Trinity School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/chilton-trinity-school-19679) — 2.6/5 (14 reviews) - [Bridgwater College Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/bridgwater-college-academy-13741) — 1.7/5 (9 reviews) - [Somerset Bridge Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/somerset-bridge-primary-school-9557) — 4.6/5 (5 reviews) - [Ashcott Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/ashcott-primary-school-9552) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Pawlett Primary School Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bridgwater/pawlett-primary-school-academy-20702) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
