"Bad Teachers"

Recommended For The Year Sixes That Are Wanting To Go To This School,

Dear Year Sixes Or Anyone Who Is Interested,
I would like to say that this School is very shocking. ABSOLUTE SHOCKING! I have a few complaints to say about this School. This School is very bad. First the school cannot control the students at all. If someone Is getting bullied to teachers don't do anything about it at all. The Students always puts mess everywhere and the poor cleaners have to clean it up so I feel sorry for them. Also, I would like to talk about the toilets, the cue is always long because the people always go on their phones in the toilet. Finally, The teachers are extremely disrespectful to the students ESPECIALLY those who have special needs and different skin color. So I don't really know why the school says they are a Diverse School and they are Warm, Welcoming and Friendly.

"Horrible"

Disappointing Experience at This School

I want to share my honest experience at this school, and unfortunately, it’s far from positive. There are several significant issues that need to be addressed.

Poor Behavior Management
The school seems to struggle with managing its students effectively. Bullying is a serious issue, and in my experience, the teachers either ignore it or fail to take meaningful action. This creates an unsafe and unpleasant environment for many students, and it’s upsetting that these issues aren’t properly handled.

Lack of Cleanliness
The cleanliness of the school is another problem. Students consistently leave messes around the campus, and while the cleaners do their best, they are constantly cleaning up after others. This lack of respect for the environment reflects poorly on the school’s standards.

Toilet Problems
The toilets are another major issue. The queues are almost always long because many students waste time on their phones instead of using the facilities quickly. This makes it incredibly frustrating for everyone else who’s just trying to use the toilets, and it feels like a lack of respect for shared spaces.

Disrespect Toward Students
Lastly, and most concerning, is the disrespect shown by some teachers. I’ve witnessed teachers treating students with special needs and those from different backgrounds unfairly. This is deeply disappointing, especially for a school that claims to be diverse, welcoming, and inclusive. These attitudes contradict the school’s supposed values and create an environment of inequality. Also the line ups are ridiculous and pointless and don’t understand why they happen also this school dosent care about mental health and threaten you with reflection and detention

Overall, I find this school to be disappointing, and I cannot recommend it to anyone who what’s to come

"KLAL Review - Poor (Mainly Teachers)"

Parents, if you're reading this respectfully I DO NOT recommend this school. My children and their friends tell me how disgraceful it is. The teachers are not only unprofessional but do not care about your child's mental health and well being. They give out so many detentions that teachers fail to follow themselves making it hypocritical. Many teachers aren't even qualified for certain classes/subjects which makes students have to learn content as well as revise content at the same time. I emphasise how unprofessional teachers act in that school as well, needs to be called out without the amount of injustice that has happened there. Would never recommend this school to ANY of my friends or my worst enemy. Absolute shambles.

"Bad School"

My son has been bullied for the past 3 months, Kings leadership have advised for us to do a in year transfer as its easier for my son to move than to deal with the bullies. Therefore we have been let down by this school system

"Rubbish School"

This is a disgusting and vile school. I worked there as a supply teacher/cover supervisor and there was no support from the permanent staff at all. I was told that I would be going permanent only to be told two weeks later that I am no longer needed. Completely unprofessional and horrible. The students are some of the worst students I have worked with. They swear, throw things and run around the class room like barbaric animals. I would not recommend that anybody wastes their time working here. Its a joke. Oh and I forgot to mention the continuous lining up outside and escorting the children around the school like they are puppies.
Never seen anything like it.

"the canteen food"

The school could 100% be a better place,but the main part is the canteen and the food,you have to wait like half an hour just to get like a water,sandwich,pizza etc.
Also the year 11s should be allowed to just go straight in because we have our GCSES and some exams start after dinner so we need time to eat etc.

"Very poor"

We removed our daughter from the school when we completed GCSE options night with her, she completed her choices, and then to find by email a month later that the school can't honour the options, they needed to be re-done due to staffing organisation changes but this was fine as it "allows your child to think through again what their options are". Wtf.

Moving our child was also problematic. It took call after call, emails, and finally a complaint to the headteacher to get our daughters school records so that she could move to her new school.

This school is unprofessionally run.

Also lets not get onto the mice, rats in the school canteen and kitchen area. Yes it is inner city but this is just disgusting.

"The worst school in liverpool"

This school is the pinnacle of bad people the children are not taught well and they have to line up outside for around 30 minutes straight from what i am hearing and that they have to raise their hands for an exceptionally long time and that the manner of the teachers are so unfriendly that i think that this school would be the worst pick for you children honestly it seems like the children are holding on to their mental health by a dental floss string do not reccomend this horrible school

"makes me want to die"

absolutely vile school, completely unprofessional, literally had mice in the canteen, and by the looks of the food, the mice bloody made it. the teachers are so rude for no reason and the headteacher is telling us to line up in perfect lines with our hands up in -20 degree weather 3 times a day. maybe he should focus on the fact that his students are hanging on to their mental health by a thread and the staff he employs are kiddie fiddlers.
