"Like they said it would be"

horrible school, I started their in year 7 and it was nothing like they said it would be. All I can say is it was all round horrible. Please avoid the school for your child, unless they are unruly and rude, it’s perfect for them..

"Would not choose again"

Do not send your child at this school if they have any SEN they will be relentlessly bullied to the point of being suicidal by the rude and unruly children they allow in the school and the school seem to brush this behaviour under the carpet or side with the bullies.
