## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Very horrible school: I would not recommend *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — Terrible!: uniform policy is outrageous and is cared about more then the students education! They never offer the proper support to student that really need it and care more about the “naughty” students instead of the vulnerable. Communication is terrible, you send an email or ring to speak to someone and they don’t get back to you, however they do when they have an issue! Toilets are vile and kept in poor conditions, for example the doors on the toilets are broken yet they spend their money on extra unifo… *(Mar 2025)*
- **5/5** — I’m just being nice ig: I made this review cuz ppl kept review bombing the school *(Nov 2023)*
- **1/5** — so disgusting: so bad, the school say it promotes student "support" but then when a student is in head of house crying thier eyes out unable to go to lesson they just give them a note and send them back. students reach out for support but then none is given, and what is given is things they have to apply for themselves, with extremely long waiting lists. the uniform policy is ridiculous, it seems as if they're making rules for no reason. *(Nov 2023)*
- **1/5** — Not great: Poor communication from most teachers and leaders, they pick and single out children who have “issues” they are not helpful. They drag their feet when asking for help They send the kids to IA because they can’t be bothered to deal with the situation and when any altercations they don’t ask both parties they just assume. Teachers and certain members of reception are rude and patronising and speak to students/parents like rubbish and are sarcastic. They have ridiculous rules for uniform they they … *(Jul 2022)*
- **1/5** — anywhere but here: absolute rubbish, disrespectful behaviour lead staff. patronising principal who cares about his own image than the well-being of his students. teachers who encourage you to take the “safe route” and to give up on your dream pathways because they are for underachieving students. students are homophobic, racists and just outright rude to everyone. *(Sep 2021)*
