- **1/5** — Needs major improvement: I as the current pupil of Coedcae School, believe that this school needs major improvements. To begin with, it should be highlighted that some of their policies make absolutely no sense, and what is said in them is far from reality. For example, they claim they deal with reports seriously. I think it's time we see new leadership and new people which are trained in a more professional and effective manner. After making a report on a teacher and having my parents in, they said that they will deal … *(Dec 2023)*
- **1/5** — Experience *****: Not good at all. Don't go there. Teachers don't sort out bully, racism, homophobia ect. They won't let people wear Converse to school on 05/09/23- I don't know. Will not recommend you taking your kids to Coedcae Gyfun Ysgol. Worst school ever. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Godzilla: Great school very good teachers *(Aug 2023)*
- **1/5** — bad school: there is way too many fights and teachers don't care about them as well as sometimes the teachers don't teach *(Jul 2023)*
- **4/5** — Coedcae Student: My first few weeks of being in Coedcae school was not that fun, i was bullied my first 2 weeks over and over and it didn't stop and at first they did nothing about it. But sooner or later they actually recognised and sorted it all, now that it has all stopped i am having an amazing experience in this school and most people here are lovely! i recommend this school because i'm sure once you join, you will succeed. *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — do not go here: teachers don’t do anything about bullying or racism. Education is horrible as in lessons, teachers are on phones and students are yelling. Nobody in this school has had a positive experiance. Fights constantly, with intense outcomes. The school offers counciling, which all councillors clearly are not well trained. All of them will just nod there head and not actually say anything else, and then “confidential” is not actually “confidential” you can get away with just walking out of class or skipp… *(Jun 2023)*
- **2/5** — REVIEW: I as a current student of Coedcae school, am upset to be giving this school two stars. I would like to begin with the bullying, I have noticed that Coedcae doesn't take serious actions against people that bully others, and ruin the experience and future opportunities. They may call in their parents after a while, but it'll only be a mini chat of approximately 10 minutes which doesn't solve the issue. Secondly, racism. I personally experience quite a bit of racism by students and teachers. There … *(May 2023)*
- **2/5** — would not be my first choice for my children: it's an alright school, the lessons and teachers are pretty much alright for Llanelli. however their anti bullying policy is nonsense if you get into a fight, and you're throwing punches to defend yourself you will always be the one that is guilty and when they call parents in for a meeting it's just all chit-chat and politics. but politics doesn't cause real world solutions, action does that. and i have seen a comment on here about teacher favouring the more academically intelligent pupils. i d… *(Dec 2022)*
- **3/5** — ok school: it’s a okay school :) *(Oct 2021)*
