- **1/5** — How this school broke me.: School hates the boys and treats girls like gold, they don't care about others and I've been swore at by my own teachers. Not only this, but they think they can just get away with soing this. I have been hit by teachers, told I should die, and I've grew problems, all because because of those stupid comments I get from teachers and the staff. I hate this school and this will be solved or there will be legal actions. *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — Terrible lesson planning: Mostly terrible. Some teachers are a highlight currently but overall terrible school with lack in teaching and proper discipline. Too hot in summer and too cold in winter as. What the boiler is broken in winter and air con is on. Then the radiators seem to only be on in summer. Schools practically falling apart.

- **1/5** — SAVE YOURSELF FROM THIS SCHOOL OF BASEMENT DWELLERS!!!: the school is insanely racist and broke, teachers act like it’s the end of the universe when you wear a skirt or leggings, and they just pick and choose who to dress code!! I’ve been the victim to racism countless times The boys here are really creepy and sexist and the teachers don’t do sod about it It’s always too hot in the summer because there’s no air con, and too cold in the winter because the heating doesn’t work!! When you have a learning disorder the teachers just target you *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — BADNESS: Rubbish. Absolutely rubbish. Teachers have issues, many teachers seem to have issues with gay people too. School trips are rare and our school is completely broke. Was forced to take my jacket off and have no free will. It’s like a prison. *(May 2023)*
