## Recent parent reviews

- **2/5** — Bishop of Llandaff: I feel bishop of Llandaff only care about results and not their pupils. If a pupil speaks up they are made the enemy. Once they dislike a pupil that's the end. They really need to try to understand why pupils are acting the way they are . *(Dec 2025)*
- **1/5** — Abuse of SEN children: My Autistic child attended the Marion Centre, I was forced to withdraw my child from this placement when my child reported to me actions from teaching staff that occurred regularly that amounted to physical and emotional abuse. I reported it to the school and the police, the school did a sham investigation and swept it under the rug, the police liason officer went along with it, this has had a profound impact on my child. *(Mar 2025)*
- **3/5** — Sigma Sigma: Sigma sigma sigma sigma sigma sigma sigma *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — Racism: The teachers are psycho, who gives a **** about blazers they should all die or grow up at least. the heating is trash and some of the teachers are very abusive and one called me a monkey and one teacher called me too obese and that if i jumped in the pool id cause a tsunami and destroy cardiff. *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — Far less than ideal for a school: Horrendous school. I went in 2015 until 2022. Pastoral office is a joke, any issues such as racism are ignored. No help or support is offered. All that is cared about is grades regardless of how damaging this attitude is to students. I have seen many students struggle and leave early. Many students have mental health issues due to poor treatment and stress from teachers and primarily the head teachers ethos of good grades over everything. The counciling support is like putting a plaster on a can… *(Apr 2023)*
- **1/5** — Teachers don't care: i have additional needs in a classroom as I suffer with severe tics & frequent panic attacks, and at first the school were really supportive. Me and my head of year wrote an email to all my teachers explaining what needs to be put in place during lessons. My first problem was when one of my teachers refused to let me sit at the back with my friend (it was stated in the email) and when i explained about the email she purposefully sat me at the front. Another incident was when I was clearly being … *(Jun 2021)*
- **1/5** — The oppressive school: As a student at this school I can confidently say it is hell The main problem is the oppressive nature of the teachers The teachers often swear in front of us and try and force there political opinions down our throats but give us a detention if we state that we support something like BLM Another problem is there attitude to bullying If you try to speak about it the teachers simply reply with ‘man up’ or ‘fight back’ Yet if we do fight back we get a detention What One time I was blocking a kick … *(Dec 2020)*
- **2/5** — School life for kids: The mental abuse is unbelievable The teachers three bored rubbers at my friend just because he was an Irish catholic And the Volkswagen sexuals have taken over the staff And the teachers banned the Scottish students from yelling like idiots in the class room *(Dec 2020)*
- **5/5** — Excellent: Buildings are old and a little dilapidated but teaching is top quality. Social groups are fun and people are nice. Sports department slightly favouriteing sporty people but that is to be expected *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Don't recommend this school: Teachers are awful and the building it aweful, they need to fix the heating, I didn't learn anything *(Dec 2020)*
