## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — it’s shit: the school says they have things in place for everything but they lie through their teeth about everything, some teachers are good others are just shit *(Dec 2022)*
- **2/5** — Poor School: Hardly any teachers that know what they are doing in some areas. Behaviour system isn’t great at all. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — It's the best!: It's so wonderful here everyone is so kind and lovely I love this place. *(Oct 2022)*
- **1/5** — Awful: So loud there’s no room in the corridors, teachers only care if you wear jewelry, they don’t care about the students metal health and they don’t even let you go to the toilet *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — CRAP SCHOOOOOLL: Honesty if I could give 0 stars I would! It's crap there they don't care about your mental health and have no justice for the bullied and don't care if you've been told slurrs, or sexist to. Would not reccomend *(Jan 2022)*
- **1/5** — Former student: Left in 2020: It was awful there were only about 3 good teachers in the entire school and there was no discipline to the bully’s or homophobic and sexist boys and girls there. They didn’t care if you struggle with your mental health either. Honestly the best. Don’t go here unless you want to develop depression. I didn’t even have a real science teacher for 3 years or a real math teacher for a year. They blame the child if they fail a test not that they weren’t actually taught it when normally we were not taug… *(Jul 2021)*
- **1/5** — Racism in school: I went to this school in year 7 and experienced so much racism I had to move. The teachers barely did anything and seemed unbothered. Wouldn’t recommend anyone going to this school. The students are rude, disrespectful and discriminate against those students of a different background/religion etc. *(Jun 2021)*
- **1/5** — Behaviour is out of control: I fear for my child and the teachers. The leadership is terrible, the head is weak. Behaviour is out of control. *(May 2021)*
- **1/5** — Really Crap: It is rubbish. I don’t recommend *(Apr 2021)*
- **2/5** — Pretty poor: Behaviour is pretty poor and it’s just a dreadful place to be, abysmal learning *(Jan 2021)*
