"Sexual harassment."

Me and 2 of my friends had a terrible experience there. Personally I was being sexually harassed on a daily basis and teachers were oblivious to students behaviour. When i opened out to staff they promised help but little was done. So I decided to change schools. Now that I've been gone I'm being told by my friend that the situation is bad and they is still being bullied. Also another one of my friends changed schools due to a similar thing happening. My cousin yet again had a bad experience, I know so many people affected which is sick. Send your child here and they will not be happy. The students have sadistic behaviour and empathy is not shown anywhere l.

"Great although biased "

The school presents us with a plethora of opportunities but from the perspective of an average student as in not good at sport or straight As, I do feel like they forget about us, they’re brilliant with helping out the top set and smart kids and every teacher loves the kids that are good at sport but we tend to miss out on a lot.
