"FED UP!"

I feel obliged to write this as a friend of mine who is a parent to a child at this school is being nothing but targeted. Yes you can get an education at this school if you try hard and some of the teachers are lovely but some are down right a**holes!One of the teachers is picking on my friends daughter telling her she will have a miserable life and keeps going out of her way to make this child struggle! Cow! Teachers strive to put an end to bullying but they’re the bullies themselves!Even told her friends she has no reason to respect them but demands respect from them. Even I am fed up of the horridness I hear from this hellhole. Utter bastards! And yes we will be contacting the school. Grow up Moyo don’t grow out.large horrible bully.

"Teachers."

Hello there, I am here writing a review on a teacher called MissMoyo, from what I know she personally picks on her students and DEMANDS respect of them when she straight up gives NONE back to them. She’s said to my child a few times now that they won’t be getting far in life and she has also said that to one of my child’s friends as well. This woman is horrible. Another one of my child’s friends have had an incident and Miss Moyo said she would give their parents a call back but never did.

"Honest reviewing skills x"

Honest hastings review
#PRISON
Apart from mr Wade and miss mcmeeking, all these teachers are a pain in the backside. Most of them are bullies and and even one finds themselves hilarious when they tell a student to starve #cowbag. They’re all tarts and introduce stupid rules to get you in more trouble what a pillock move. Thanks mate, contacting the council.🤬don’t come near this place for your own safety

"Hastings High School - Excellent Experience!"

I've had the pleasure of sending my children to Hastings High School for three years now and I couldn't be happier with the education and facilities they've received. The school's values of respect, responsibility, and inclusivity shine through in everything they do. My kids love attending the school and I feel confident that they're in good hands.

"Alright"

Really over hyped up, serious incidents never got properly dealt with unlike minute ones. Teachers are 50/50 some where downright bullies.
Never helped me move up grades wise and overloaded with not very helpful homework. Barley scraped grades.
Wouldn’t recommend personally.

"A Great School with Room for Improvement"

I've been impressed with the teachers and staff at Hastings High School, who have supported my child in her academic and personal growth. However, I do think the school could offer more extracurricular activities and resources for students with special needs.

"Pretty decent for round here "

I mean the school academically is really really good like you come out with good grades but the extra curriculum isn’t amazing but even though the teachers are lovely you get so much homework to handle and they put a lot of stress on you about your future

"Better than the other schools round there"

Most of the teachers are good and the actual school is okay. It’s very stressful though and no one knows how to deal with kids suffering from mental health issues.

"A School that Truly Cares"

I have two children who have graduated from Hastings High School and I couldn't be more proud of the people they've become. The school's emphasis on community service and personal development really resonated with them, and they've gone on to make a positive impact in the world. I highly recommend Hastings High School to any family looking for a supportive and inclusive education.
