- **1/5** — Would read before sending child to this school: Absolutely shockingly disgusting school. I would not even send an animal into this building. During my child’s stay at this school she has had tipex thrown into her eye whilst walking in corridors resulting in trip to hospital, no one was disciplined for this after cameras where apparently checked. Has been bullied by staff with ill, one wayed attitudes and ignored when my child has admitted to staff she was unhappy/ having problems in school bully’s are also not addressed by staff . I have also… *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school for my child's last year: Shuttleworth College has been an amazing school for my child's last year. The teachers and staff have been so supportive and helped my child achieve their best. The facilities are excellent, especially the sports centre and the media studio. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have sent my child to Shuttleworth. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great community and great facilities: Our experience at Shuttleworth College has been fantastic so far. The school's motto of 'Think Big, Chase Dreams & Succeed Together' really resonates with us. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are caring and enthusiastic. My child loves attending the school and feels part of a close-knit community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — they try their best and I appreciate it: they try their best, you can see that. but COVID ruined the food, one of the best things about it, and I was never going to find school fun, so I'm glad to have left and I wouldn't go back. but if it came to picking another secondary school for myself, I'd still pick this one. *(Apr 2022)*
- **5/5** — amazing: best years of my life amazing food *(Sep 2021)*
- **1/5** — From an ex student: I went to this school, I wouldn't ever recommend sending your child here, especially SEN kids. They pretty much ignored my needs, let bullying continue and were overall rude. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and when i came in all panicky, I was told "oh well you don't look that anxious" or "That's ridiculous". I was told in year 7 to move schools when these 2 girls were bullying me instead of sorting it out properly. Some of the teachers were nice but unfortunately not all. I have a chr… *(May 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, some negatives: We had a mixed experience at Shuttleworth College. On the one hand, the school has a great ethos and the teachers are generally supportive. On the other hand, the curriculum can be a bit rigid and some of the facilities could be improved. Overall, it was a good school for my child but not without its flaws. *(Mar 2021)*
- **1/5** — Absolutely hell: Social distance seems to not exist. everyone's being set home due to having covid. Teachers went listening to social distancing procedure. It's hell. *(Oct 2020)*
- **1/5** — no listen: no don’t send your child here it’s hell *(Oct 2020)*
