Orchard School Bristol

Teachers do not care at all about students, only there to get paid. Bullying is everywhere in this school and nothing gets done about it. There has recently been a suicide because of bullying here . Truly needs work

It’s a good school and I’d like to send my son there

I went to this school but had to move because of my mental health and I’ve got to say this school is terrible they do not take anything seriously 😒 I struggled to go in school everyday and one of the teachers was vile towards me told me I was spoiled brat and played on my mental health like wtf how is that okay? And when I went in school crying she would tell me to get over it 😡 I am a 14 year old girl who needed help with mental health and this school made it worse absolutely disgusting school wouldn’t wish my worse enemy to go there
They don’t sort out anything there me and my sister both moved because of that school they don’t sort out bullying and other stuff
I had a school councillor and she was useless all she would do is talk about her home life and she told me to get it in my head that I won’t be moving schools but haha I moved for the better
But I’m happy to say me and my sisters all get on well at our new school
School is disgusting

We've been with Orchard School for about a year now, and we've seen some really positive changes. The teachers are generally great, and the facilities are fantastic. However, we've experienced some issues with communication between the school and parents, particularly when it comes to things like absence and punctuality. I think the school could do a bit more to engage with parents and keep us informed.

We've been with Orchard School for three years now and it's been a wonderful experience for our daughter and our family. The school's values of 'inspire today, empower for life' truly shine through in the way the teachers and staff support the students. The facilities are also excellent, with plenty of opportunities for extracurricular activities and sports.

orchard school bristol is a highly racist school who put down and degrade students of colour. the deputy head Dorian coxon does not hesitate to call students of colour ''thugs'' if an incident happens between a white student and a student of colour they would believe the white students this school is terrible and needs to be shut down

We moved out of the area a few years ago, but we were so impressed with Orchard School that we kept our children on to the end of their secondary education. The community is supportive and inclusive, and the school's focus on individualised learning really helped our children thrive. The only thing that stops me giving it 5 stars is the distance we now have to travel to get to the school.

None of the staff listen to you when you have a problem and the staff also don’t keep things you tell them private and confidential. And The Anti-bullying Staff and other teachers are very bad at dealing with bullies and bullying. I personally know students who have left and moved to different schools because they were being threatened by other students and other students parents on school site! And as usually the school did nothing. I have also had personal experiences with being shouted at and intimidated by a member of staff and when I reported the problem I didn’t get an apology. They also are terrible at social distancing and don’t take into consideration vulnerable students and families . I am a year 11 student there and nobody was social distancing, not even all the staff. Year 11 students are also crammed into one building for the majority of there lessons making it even harder to social distance. I would personally not recommend coming to this school but that’s because I’ve had a partly negative experience but they do provide a variety of options to study.

They don’t listen to you when you have a problem and they are very terrible at social distancing. I am a student there and I went back this week and nobody was social distancing. It was as like they didn’t care about us kids but only cared about the adults.

They dont deal with bullying well and certain teachers have it out for certain students.
