## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Worst School In Castleford: Worst school in castleford, the strictness is absolutely insane, go to this school if you want to be shouted at and being in trouble for No reason. Not to mention they do not care at all about mental or physical health for students, they wont care if you self-harmed or depressed the max they will do is give you an hour break. *(Oct 2025)*
- **1/5** — badddd: no THISUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX *(Jun 2025)*
- **1/5** — REWARDS TRIP RAGEBAIT: MY EXPERIENCE AT THE THIS WAS HORRID. they do nothing for the kids who actually behave and do everything for the naughty kids, teachers are awful, they changed the rewards trip from flamingo land to an inflatable knockout, movie experience(which would probably be the projector in the dance studio) , watching a football or dodgeball game or cooking using the dirty, grubby pans in food tech rooms. we pay to go to flamingo land anyway and ur telling me our rewards “trip” isn’t even going to be outs… *(Apr 2025)*
- **1/5** — Horrible: Shocking school me and about 4/5 of my mates not including me were just talking when miss tills came over screaming for nothing so one of my mates got pulled by her and he asked her to calm down she was also spitting in his face while screaming also got another person from our Freind group and screamed at him which he also asked her to calm down who then both of the people that asked her to calm down got suspended for apparently intimidating a teacher when we thought she was finished she came ba… *(Mar 2025)*

- **1/5** — We will persue this situation: Writing a complaint on this school for sending me from school to school basically shipping me off to every school cause they didn’t want me putting me in connect every day and wasting my education due to that a got no gcse now cause of ur bad education and then lying to me about having a place in college for a full 6 month and then telling me last minute I don’t have a place, your a bully towards ya students and ruined my chance of having a education, no child should be left out which I dealt wi… *(Aug 2024)*
- **1/5** — Lack of Data Protection: I am still waiting for a full apology from the school for leaking highly personal and confidential information. The ICO confirmed the breach. *(Jul 2024)*
- **1/5** — Personal data breach: I am still waiting for a full apology from the school, who leaked highly personal and confidential information . The ICO confirmed the leak. *(Jul 2024)*
- **2/5** — Good, but not great.: Education is good for the most part, but for most people, it isn't efficient or helpful in many ways to them. I will agree with others that the hallways are quite crowded most of the time and it can be quite hard to move. The food is ight most of the time, the fields are spectacular for any sport. One major flaw is the toilet queues are way too long for most of the day, and the inside is absolute bedlam aswell. Opening another toilet somewhere else in the school would be the proper solution. Oth… *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — Shiet.: Terrible school. The schools strictness is abominable the epraise system does not work. Terrible mental health support along with worse bullying support systems. They end up taking the side of the bully and the bullied student getting punished. The most they end up doing as a "Last Resort" is to send you to a councilor for 3 weeks for 3 sessions. And then they report back to the school about everything you say IT IS NOT ANNON. In conclusion, shiet school, sheit teachers, and even sheiter grades. *(Apr 2024)*
