"Review from a parent."

My daughter attends this school and as a parent, some of the teachers can be very harsh- especially considering some of circumstances that my child has been in. Now i would like to start off by saying it is summer time, and my child is not able to stay cool by having her jumper or blazer off, as it is not allowed?
Despite the heat at the moment my child must wear a blazer and cardigan at all times and if she refuses, isolation is her punishment.
I do not recommend this school to any child who has additional needs, as i do not feel as though the school supports those who need it.
I would also like to add that not all teachers are poorly rated, but those who i view as inadequate are those considered ‘higher up’ in position.

"Top school"

This school was amazing to me and still is. I couldn’t of asked for any better people to of helped me along my journey. They bent over backwards for me and that shows how interested they are in seeing people succeed in life after school. All the staff are very open hearted and all are 10/10. Especially the head teacher, he is a top man. If you send your child here don’t hesitate to because it’s the best school you could send them to. They start to care about you from the second you start and never stop.
