There’s a serious lack of teachers and massive gaps in learning as a result. The behaviour of the students is off the scale. It has become a results factory where they push and push for results, despite a massive problem with the turnover of staff and no support and quite a lot of the time to the detriment of the kids mental health. This has all happened since the school became an academy and is showing no improvement. I would definitely not recommend THS. *(Jan 2024)* - **1/5** — Worst school ever: I hate this school so much lines for lunch are so long and teachers are horrible the lessons are poorly managed as well as the inside of the school 0 out of 10 *(Dec 2023)* - **1/5** — Totty is pretty bad :): This school is probably the most the worst high school, they have recent added doors onto the entrances of the toilets making it unable to use them during lessons unless u have a "black band" which i think is pretty sad. I got bullied for around a year but the school didn't do anything about it until i asked my mum rang up again for the 4th time in a week.
