Also different year group toilets and they lock them during lesson time but it's ok for the staff to use there one during lesson time also the head of year never helps to be honest don't go here. Two words "fucking,… *(Nov 2025)* - **1/5** — Awful school: Awful school with bullying and drug issues and completely uncaring. *(Aug 2023)* - **1/5** — Terrible!: Whatever you do, do not go here! *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — You will regret going here.: This school felt like a prison, as a student here with mental health issues I felt like I was not needed or accepted by the staff as I got little to no help with the situation I was going through. The school got councillors in as 2/3s of my year had some sort of mental health problem or disabilities but these did not help as the councillors tend to just sit there. The school itself is a nice area but it is completely open to the public and there have been multiple incidents were older men would … *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — Avoid: Linton was absolutely horrible. It’s a hotspot for bullying, racism and homophobia and much more. Linton only offers support for students who either are doing absolutely terrible or amazingly well (and this support is very weak) However there are some absolutely amazing teachers their that do help but they often leave after 3 months. *(Nov 2022)* - **5/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: I'm so grateful for the education my child has received at Linton Village College. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are fantastic. My child has loved participating in the enrichment programs and has grown so much as a person. *(Sep 2022)* - **1/5** — Awful and don’t recommend: Bullying and awful with helping mental health, could go to a teacher and they will blame u for ur mental health problems. They spend there money from charities on things for the staff room or to make the school look better, then when ofsted is there they act perfect and strict then when gone it goes badly again, teachers mainly in languages will bully u and laugh at u and encourage the children to join in. *(Feb 2022)* - **3/5** — Good but Room for Improvement: Overall, we're happy with our child's experience at LVC, but there have been some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's facilities are great, though, and the enrichment programs have been a highlight for our child. *(Jan 2022)* - **1/5** — Take action: When I first joined it was a new headteacher and for the first year it was a great school , and now it’s all gone downhill , the teaching standard is awful , I’m now doing a levels and most of the students from Linton are behind in every way , not just because of covid. Teachers a rude , don’t understand that you have a life outside lessons , and management is the worst I’ve ever seen , especially getting help for mental health issues , they treat you like toddlers even when your in year 11. At … *(Dec 2021)* - **1/5** — Rather tragic: -big drug problem and within school dealing, teachers recently found out for being perverted, alleged bullying however I have never personally seen it, lack of money means the school can’t afford things like scissors and glue and exercise books. Corrupted head teacher turner schools ofstead inspection from “outstanding” to “need for improvement”. Also supposedly has very homophobic and racist students. Charities day profits were put into a coffee machine for the staff room. Teachers are very inc… *(Dec 2021)* ## Other schools in Cambridge - [Cottenham Village College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/cottenham-village-college-12994) — 1.8/5 (32 reviews) - [Comberton Village College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/comberton-village-college-12181) — 2.5/5 (20 reviews) - [The Netherhall School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/the-netherhall-school-16701) — 2.2/5 (14 reviews) - [Bottisham Village College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/bottisham-village-college-12371) — 1.7/5 (11 reviews) - [Coleridge Community College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/coleridge-community-college-12345) — 2.3/5 (9 reviews) - [Trumpington Community College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/cambridge/trumpington-community-college-19146) — 1.4/5 (9 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
