I have had numerous problems with food and curtain memebers of the staff that work at the grange school, earlier this year i found out that i have several sevear anaphylaxis allergies, the school knows about this as well as all of the teacher that taught me. I had made sure that i mentioned to all of my teachers that i was put into hospital because of havong an anaphylaxis reaction, so that all my teachers were awear, it was also on the school's syste… *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — Over my 5 years here, this school went from decent to inadequate: I never thought I'd have a bad word to say about this school. However, after many incidents with a certain few teachers and considering exams are over, I think everyone should have the right to know exactly what happens inside this disgusting school. Firstly, the quality of learning (Minus languages and combined science) DOES NOT prepare students for upcoming exams. I can write this as when I opened up the 2023 GCSE exams, I can assure you nothing the students saw was taught. For a single good q… *(Jun 2023)* - **2/5** — Review from student: Teachers do not give children choices so they rebel *(Jun 2023)* - **1/5** — My review: It's so bad, teachers do not care. *(Jun 2023)* - **1/5** — Terrible school.: It’s horrible here. The teachers do nothing about the bullying here and they just brush it off. They don’t care about us and would rather let us be bullied to the point where (some people I know have said this to me) they feel unsafe at school and would rather be dead then go here. I have been bullied most of my life and they treated it so much better at primary. The teachers here couldn’t care what your feeling they just want the money. The school building is fine it’s just the people inside it… *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — outrageous: the maths teacher is a very smelly man and he always lifts up his arm and shows his sweaty armpit. the toilets are very clean due to all the tears shed onto the floor because of the mean boy lincoln, he is very big and scary and has a 10 pack who beats me up everyday. the art teacher bit me and then proceeded to bark at me until i ran away. when i told another member of staff about this the did the same thing. i am convinced that they are all werewolf's. i have left the school and been diagnosed… *(Feb 2023)* - **5/5** — Best decision ever!: We've been blown away by the warmth and inclusivity of The Grange School. The facilities are top-notch and the staff are truly dedicated to helping every child succeed. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful community for our daughter. *(Jan 2023)* - **1/5** — Awful school: Awful school Sent my daughter here after she missed out on getting into the High School by a few marks on her STT. Within a few weeks she was coming home in tears having been teased continually in earshot of teachers who did nothing to intervene. This carried on for many months despite numerous phonecalls and meetings with the school and assurances that the bully's would be dealt with. Alongside this lessons were disrupted by out of control students who teachers were scared to confront. Ecigs, d… *(Oct 2022)* - **1/5** — Horrible school: Awful school Sent my daughter here after she missed out on getting into the High School by a few marks on her STT.
