I have been going to this school for 5 years entering my 6th and over the years the school has just progressively gotten worse. They do not allow students outside leaving everyone stuck inside in a small building with small corridors that no one can effectively navigate in, the restaurant is an intimidating environment even for me in the sixth form. The staff do not communicate with each other causing for students to get punishments and last minute noti… *(Oct 2024)* - **2/5** — would rather be uneducated than go here: they expect too much of the students and give little leeway between being a model student and being regarded as worthless. for example, if you are late to school, even by a second by a factor that isn't your fault (traffic or doctors appointment) you get a mark. three marks per term (8 weeks) and you get supervised lunch, four and you get isolation. the only way to remove your marks is through getting a parent to phone in about it not being their fault. so much for "treating students like adults… *(Mar 2024)* - **1/5** — Awful: If your a top performers it will be good. High bullying problems. Worst school I ever attended. Also turned out the assistant Head teacher Mr.willimot was a paedophile. *(Dec 2022)* - **3/5** — Good school but problems with bullying: Joining the school as a Year 7 is perspectively much easier than joining the school as a sixth former. Adapting from one secondary school to this one can be quiet challenging due to the sheer difference in standards between this school and others. I've often found that most of these high standards are only expected to ensure the school keeps its consistent national rating, because some of the standards met there are higher than most workplace environments, making them somewhat pointless. Being a… *(Sep 2022)* - **1/5** — Brooke: The school is shocking, they pick favourites never actually sort stuff out and punish you without any evidence. Some staff members are rude and the school promote equality but it’s no where to be seen in school all the school does is pressure students *(Apr 2022)* - **5/5** — Brooke Weston Is Best: Absolutely love it! All staff help and support you with everything, when I joined Brooke, the schools community felt me feel so welcome and that made me happy :) Also, the friends you’ll make at Brooke Weston will be your friends for life, and even some staff ;) I would highly recommend this school to anyone. At Brooke Weston we make everyone feel welcomed and all people have access to all parts of the school, for example: we have elevators to let those in wheelchairs or on crutches be able to a… *(May 2021)* - **2/5** — Not that good: Awful. Absolutely awful. They don’t handle problems well and just all around not who they say they are. *(Apr 2021)* - **5/5** — A very academic and all-around brilliant school: An absolutely incredible school with support for every student no matter who you are, always supportive and willing to go the extra mile every time in order to benefit the experience for them. A very academic school that is heavily focussed on education where others may not, there is a 15 minute break in the first lesson and a 30 minute lunch break in the 3rd lesson meaning that hardly any time is wasted that could be used productively for learning; certainly not for everyone but a lot of studen… *(Sep 2020)* - **3/5** — School environment is a little unaccepting: There is divide between the few lgbtq students and the others. I don’t know what could be done about this, anytime there’s an attempt to educate and teach acceptance it’s met with mocking. I don’t think teachers are aware of this. *(Sep 2020)* --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
