## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Why have a phone number if no one answers the phone?: The school says it has a phone number I wouldn't bother calling it your be ringing all day leaving voice mail messages and no one gets back to you the administration staff are terrible!! *(Apr 2024)*
- **1/5** — Unbelievably unsupportive!!: This school is lacking in so many ways! I was uncomfortable about sending my child here due to their over all attitude of 'high expectations' and pedantic approach to uniform. However my child wanted to go here due to proximity to our home and the fact that many of their friends were going there. Im a psychologist so I am particularly passionate about a school upholding a kind, supportive and inclusive approach to all students. My son has neurodiversity and this highlighted to the school at hand… *(Oct 2023)*
- **5/5** — Very good very nice: Very good very nice very nice school bba very much worse *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Absolutely unbelievable.: Bullying is never acted on teachers / staff. Food is alright, but either too dry or wet. Got mould in my roast potatoes once. Have stopped doing the bean and cheese wraps. Things have been stolen from me at this school, and has not been acted on by staff. Have replaced the lockers, and taken and destroyed my stuff that was in my locker. Have to pay £5dpp for locker, that is too small, and cannot fit anything in. My locker in the past has been broken into, because it broke, and was not fixed. Mos… *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Shit: They do not care about any thing other than being in lessons you could be having a panic attack and they would just tell you to eat and drink then get back to lesson *(Jun 2023)*
- **3/5** — Unfair and frustrating: The educational system in itself isn’t bad, it’s the same as any other UK school. Plus there are many GCSE options. The problem I have most is how they prioritise the students appearances over their actual education. So many students are taken out of valuable lessons, sent home, excluded and put in isolation weekly because their uniform, hairstyle and general appearance isn’t perfect. I for one was unable to afford a full uniform and was still punished countless times for it when I couldn’t help… *(Aug 2021)*
- **3/5** — Okay but they have their flaws: The school education is good which has been proved in past exam results but their discipline system for uniform is not . They blame the students instead of using the school uniform policy as the reason for telling you off. Their help for mental health has improved, they do have one school councilour so the waiting is quite long. Personally if I was a principal I would have at least three councilours so the waiting list is not as long but apart from that the school is average. *(Jun 2021)*
- **3/5** — its okay...: the education itself is good and the gcse results prove it. the way it handles behaviour/mental health/any criticism from pupils isn't. students are repeatedly threatened to be sent home for wearing makeup?? its stupid men wanting to control what students do with their bodies and its patriarchal. *(Dec 2020)*
