The teachers gang up on you and only say what they think is right. They dont follow their policy and make the rules up as they go. They have now conjoined toilets which is weird beacuse i remeber when i was in year7 i was scared of all the year 11 boys. The school is so difficult and you just get in trouble for everything eg , 30 min dt even if u was only one min left or 30 min dt if you get 89% instead of 90% on your homework. Joke do not send ur kids here. Love the cs tea… *(Oct 2025)* - **1/5** — Bullying teachers: My son currently goes here and this school has made him ill with anxiety and stress ( been to doctors and the school Is named on medical records) I have had numerous meetings with senior team regarding a maths teacher who regularly bullies, degrades, intimidates, shouts and picks on him and refuses to help when he is struggling. I have lost count of the amount of phone calls I have received at work from this same teacher basically telling tales, lying to cover her own self , and making issues wa… *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — Awful school, seriously don't bother: This school needs some serious improvement, all the teachers care about are numbers for school to look good but the pupils well being and mental health is the last thing on their mind, it makes me laugh with the posters up about mental health, it's a joke. Detentions for everything and not a punishment, just part of the school day. My son had detention for getting 92% in maths homework because it should have been 100%. One of many ridiculous reasons for detention. As a parent I have no one to tu… *(Mar 2025)* - **1/5** — Not good: Better than others but very bad *(Jun 2024)* - **2/5** — Atrocitious: Terrible school! Was called Selfish and Rude by one of the teacher, one was because I was outside the classroom crying my eyes out. The other time was because I refused to go into a classroom to revise as the class and teacher constantly argued and due to the noise, it overwhelmed me. We where revising Chemistry. I am suspect Autistic, which the school knew. They tried forcing me into the classroom and I ran off as I couldn't cope and went to CS to do some Revision work on another subject. I had… *(May 2024)* - **1/5** — DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE: Horrible the rules are inhumane if you are even 1 second late the teacher will shut the student entrance and make you go though the main entrance where they will give you a detention and if you are 4 minuets late to lesson its a detention no toilets during lesson and you cant go at break because there is magnetic locks on the doors not letting you inside and you cant go in between lessons because if your 4 minuets late you get a detention and overall the school is uncooperative especially with c… *(Jan 2024)* - **2/5** — Not good: Not enough staff to fully support all students needs. Staff seem unhappy in their work. Therefore this reflects on to the pupils and their learning! *(Oct 2023)* - **1/5** — Corrupt: I left woodhey in 2022 and somehow it’s gotten even worse. parents DO NOT send kids there. They’re many other kids that go who are just awful and get away with it because the disciplinary system is backwards and it just makes it even more miserable for the few that aren’t. Staff tend to push same/ similar narrow minded views that can really limit childs perspective whilst they are there. Also the vaping problem hasn’t gotten away it only gets worse with disposables. Starting school is already a … *(Sep 2023)* - **1/5** — I hate this school: Hell it makes me cry sometimes ridiculous rules targeting cruel teachers loads of my friends are leaving because of it *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — Very Badly run school: Very badly run school - unsafe place for pupils, especially pupils with asthma - rude and uncooperative senior members of staff *(Mar 2023)* ## Other schools in Bury - [Tottington High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/tottington-high-school-20365) — 1.7/5 (23 reviews) - [Bury Church of England High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/bury-church-of-england-high-school-22136) — 1.7/5 (20 reviews) - [Hazel Wood High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/hazel-wood-high-school-20681) — 2.0/5 (14 reviews) - [St Gabriel's RC High School, a Voluntary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/st-gabriels-rc-high-school-a-voluntary-academy-21464) — 1.9/5 (14 reviews) - [Unsworth Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/unsworth-academy-18183) — 2.2/5 (13 reviews) - [Bury Grammar Schools](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury/bury-grammar-schools-2492) — 2.1/5 (10 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
