## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — I would strongly recommend not sending your child here: If I could leave zero stars I would... Do not send your child here if they are under sendco or have a disability because they will completely disregard it and make no adjustments what so ever. Communication is non existent. No regard for pupils wellbeing and will make them feel as though they are the issue and not them. My son went here for 6 months and is traumatised, in a better school now and starting to see some improvements in his wellbeing. Absolutely disgraceful school and culture. *(Aug 2025)*
- **5/5** — Lovely school: Amazing school they are really supportive and they have helped my children’s mental so much and they have made new friends which has been so lovely to see thank you to this amazing incredible school *(Jun 2024)*
- **5/5** — Amazing school!: Amazing school my kids luv it! Thank to that School *(Jun 2024)*
- **2/5** — School: The teachers need to deal with bullying at their school much better than they already are. The rules are a lot harsher and the teachers are meh. It’s not the worst school but i’m sure there are much more better and helpful ones. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Isabelle Turner: this school is the worse school on the island, no actually the whole of the blooming UK!!!! teachers deal w mh very very very badly , and bullying never gets delt with, they pick and chose who they comfort and always send me back to class when i’m bawlling. ITS THE WORSE SCHOOL EVER CLOSE IT DOWN!!! *(Apr 2023)*

- **1/5** — Need a new headmaster: The school is awful in my opinion no care for the pupils at all only for the appearance and attendance and the pupils are made to suffer for there changes *(Oct 2022)*
- **2/5** — Keep far away: Terrible school. Poor teaching with the exception of few. Incompetent leadership *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — my experience: i go to this school currently and the new rules are terrible. No knee high socks No white socks since when was that a problem the mental health staff need more of an upgrade as well they do nothing to help their students yet claim they do *(Apr 2022)*
- **3/5** — Meh, it was okay: The school was okay, needs more control over students. They’ve recently made school rules much harsher than previous years due to change in leadership faculty which I feel has changed the school for the worse. There are definitely teachers there who stand out amongst others, the deputy head was always very lovely to me and there were also a couple of others who taught far more efficiently than others. There needs to be more help surrounding the well-being of students and definitely more mental h… *(Mar 2022)*
