"Rubbish"

My student got treated so badly at this school due to the lack of help from staff, ta’s and more. They also try there best to turn a blind eye to every problem that occurs, because it makes there job easier.
This has all happend to countless people I and many others know . Don’t get me wrong, there a a couple really great teachers at this school who really want the best for your children. However, most of them couldn’t care less . I know you see good ofsted reports about this school, but please don’t fall for the propaganda. Please keep your children safe 🙏

"Bad school"

Bad school. I have been bullied by the teachers excluded for silly little thing like false eyelashes but I wasn’t even wearing any lashes they have done this multiple TIMES I would suggest too not go too this school there for I would not send your child too this school I always get sent too the behaviour room for no exact reason at all or they either suspend me for nothing.they don’t teach you anything just talk about there whole life story.

"It’s a decent place "

The stigma attached to the school presents it as worse than it really is. There are silly things that don’t make sense as in every school. However the majority of the teachers put in a lot of effort to make it a better place.

"Alright"

It's alright. Well the toilets are poorly maintained. The cleaners are paid to stand and do nothing. Some teachers are a bit too friendly with students and other co-workers. Canteen food needs to be improved. Sectioned the field off so not allowed past the bins, excellence cards are a waste of time.
