- **1/5** — How shit ysho is: This school doesn’t care about the children's physical or mental wellbeing, also they suspend children for unnecessary amounts of time right before their exams. Another thing they fail to provide the students is people that they can trust and make the students feel safe (as they should as a school) the environment in that school is so toxic it’s unbelievable also it’s unbearable for my child and much others. Also they have banned many students in my child’s year from going to prom something that… *(May 2023)*
