## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Awesome: Fearnhill school has changed so much and it is a lovely school with new canteen toilets and i honestly would recommend it to other members of the public *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — what a sugar honey iced tea hole: Fearnhill school is a good school if you have special needs, but it’s a dead school if you want to express yourself. for example, i’m gay and i wear the same amount of makeup as the girls in my yeargroup, and only my makeup if picked up on. i wouldn’t have a problem with the school rules if it was equal for boys AND girls. overall a good school if you find it easy to fit in, otherwise it’s a joke!!! Thank you and goodnight. *(Apr 2024)*
- **3/5** — Communication: Don't take it personally but,Fearnhill has really bad communication.Loads of teachers can't even tell my child where the after school English club was.Such a waste of time for my child looking for it and coming home as they cannot find it.If they're expecting my child to come,why don't they take a responsibility to make sure they're in that room after 3:00PM rather just leaving them to handle it themselves and yet,my child was a new year 7 so of course I would be complaining about it. Then again… *(Oct 2023)*
- **1/5** — don't care about you or you metal health: don't let your children go here in less you want them to coming home in tears every night. the do not give a flying fuck about your metal health. for example mr sheridan is rude , uneducated unfriendly man in the school . he give out detentions left right and centre . I got s detention from him for not taking my shoes and socks of in a drama lesson because I didn't was my feet on the dirty floors. I was only at this school for 2 years and 2 months before I had to leave because I was getting bull… *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — I hate this school sm: all the teachers are rude to students and one of the pastoral members made a girl cry by waiting she was nothing but a disappointment to the school *(Apr 2023)*
- **4/5** — Some great aspects, but room for improvement: I have mixed feelings about Fearnhill School. On the one hand, the staff are genuinely caring and the facilities are well-maintained. However, I wish they had more extracurricular activities for older students. *(Jan 2023)*
- **1/5** — Fearnhill report: Never helped with bullying, never done what they said that they would to help, always listened to other students and called me a liar. Singled me out because of my disabilities, treated me like I was trash. Constantly took me out of class for no reason just to make up a lie that I done something when I never actually spoke in class. Said I lied about my mental health for attention. Overall very bad attitude towards students and the teachers only care about the actual bullies and go on there side… *(Nov 2022)*
- **1/5** — i dread going here.: They seem to focus more on uniform than people’s well being and expression. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Poor safeguarding - 2016 onwards: One of many terrible experiences I suffered at this school was that I was tripped over in P.E and landed on the gravel knee first, cutting my knee open. When taken to the nurses office, they treated it poorly and contacted my mum saying it was just a graze on the knee and was not serious (though I could barely walk and had blood loss). This was around 2016, and things may have changed, but nevertheless the school has always had terrible standards and I would not recommend sending your child here… *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A true happy community: My child loves going to Fearnhill School! The staff are so supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are amazing. They really do make school unmissable every day! *(Sep 2022)*
