- **3/5** — my bryngwyn experiance so far: i suffered bullying for the all off my year and the teachers stop for the time being and it happened again if u want to solve it permanetly stand up for yourself *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — DONT SEND YOUR KID HERE: It's the teachers that are bad not the kids *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Just no: They shout in your ear make you feel like your not human treats you Terrible *(Jan 2023)*
- **1/5** — Awful do not put ur child through this school.: Terrible school, teachers do not care about ur grades and ur mental health. Bullying happens everyday and there is nothing to be done about it. Also, if you are struggling or have mental health problems they do not do anything they send you to a room and give you a cup of tea and expect you to be fine. There is no sources of good support *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Lazy and careless: The only way to contact the school is via reception. The issue with this is the reception staff are clueless and lazy beyond all belief! It should be possible to talk with teachers and heads of year directly. The issue here is that they are not contactable after 15:00 - part time and again lazy! Does any member of staff at the school really care at all? I doubt this very much! *(Jan 2022)*
- **1/5** — REGRET FOR THR KIDS: Awful school kids usually high after doing there drugs in the toilets. Kids have previously brought pet rodents in to the school and this happend on multiple occasions. Some teachers try to understand and collaborate with the students which helps them massively and creates respect for the teacher but others well done even get me started. CAN'T EVEN KEEP THERE ROOF ON!! *(Dec 2021)*
- **5/5** — Completely Recommend: Brilliant school, would go back in a heartbeat if I could. Teachers care a lot about pupils and try their best to make school life a good experience. Lots of visiting speakers and school trips to keep things interesting. So much help with exams too, always there if you need advice or help. Totally recommend. *(Jan 2021)*
- **1/5** — No words to explain that school: Worst school I have ever been too. Most teachers are horrible and the bullying is unbelievable and the teachers do nothing. *(Dec 2020)*
- **4/5** — Class of 2020: Good school good staff but senior members of staff act like they are the dogs bollocks *(Oct 2020)*
- **4/5** — Good school: Good variety of lessons, sports ect. Most teachers are good but some aren’t the best *(Sep 2020)*
