"Don’t come here"

Why tf do they lock the toilets? I need to pee it will take 2 minutes let me go old hag. Also if the class is bad our teachers do nothing about it and we get no work done. Also food is so expensive, they do nothing about bullying and we can’t walk around the school at break or use phones or wear jewellery

"School life/environment I guess"

I guess this school is pretty good overall, but the bullying and harassment that some students go through is really really bad. The school has good trips and decent education but it needs to start taking a look at how some students are treated by their peers... I applaud some of the teachers ik that have stuck up for the students being harassed/bullied and have talked to the students who was doing the bullying etc. but the school really needs to take a good look at some of its students. Also ik mental health is a pretty big topic but I think personally students should have a better support system with mental health cause ik all schools say they do and this school is pretty good around that topic but I feel alot of students don't go and talk about their mental health because even if they want to just get something off their chest the school then goes and calls the students parents... And ik they probably legally have to do that or something but students then don't feel safe going and telling something to anyone and that could damage their mental health even more, than it already is. Sorry for the really long paragraph but I just needed to say that. Overall, it is a pretty nice school but it definitely has some improvements needed

"Mixed feelings about the school"

We've been at Chislehurst School for Girls for a year now, and while we have some concerns, we're generally pleased with the education our daughter is receiving. The school's focus on mental health and wellbeing is great, but we've found the communication between parents and teachers to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, we're hopeful that the school will continue to improve and meet our expectations.

"Excellent experience at Chislehurst School for Girls"

We've been so impressed with the school's facilities, especially the new sports hall and drama studio. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the values of the school really seem to be embedded in the students. My daughter is thriving in her GCSEs and is really enjoying the extracurricular activities on offer.

"A truly outstanding school"

I have nothing but praise for Chislehurst School for Girls. My daughter attended the school from 2015-2021 and had an amazing experience. The school's commitment to academic excellence, as well as its values of compassion and social responsibility, really shone through. She made lifelong friends and developed a love for learning that has stayed with her.

"yo bro"

i’ll admit the education and stuff isn’t that bad. the trips can be very fun too. although there are some teachers in the school that should just quit their job already because they’re just such bad teachers. but the good teachers always have to leave :( the food is decent but some people may disagree

"My best choice"

CHSFG is an amazing school, the staff are really supportive and they always try their best to help students if they’re getting bullied or going through a hard time. I’ve been a student here for 6 and a half years now and the amount of help I’ve got from staff is unbelievable, some teachers do also offer subject help during break and lunch times. I’m personally very happy at CHSFG and I’m glad I decided to stay on for sixth form because the amount of help and support you get for your A Level subjects is great!

"Situations"

It’s an ok school, there are a few great teachers there, but some teachers are just plain rude and have a lot of attitude too. Also, they don’t like to solve situations properly or at all and a big issue in the school is racism. Teachers and staff aren’t really taking it seriously so there have been more than one incidents of racism.

"Honestly, its not the worst choice..."

I don't think it's possible to enjoy any secondary school once youve left. It's not an amazing school but not horrible either. Definitely not as bad as most London schools but you're really want to question whether you want to be surrounded by hormonal,pubescent, teenage girls for 5-7 years of your life. Thats the only real issue with this school
If you're nice enough to the teachers and you're honest to them, you'll be okay.
