## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Bad School, Better off studying at home: Not to the standards of a student who is dedicated to achieving good results in their A-levels. They say that they provide support for oxbridge, but in reality they don't. There is no support for uni admissions test and interviews. *(Jan 2026)*
- **1/5** — Fucking appalling: School is terrible, majority of teachers are either nonces or racists. Doesn't get much clearer than that. Most staff don't care about your childs mental health and will just scream in their face until they are done what they're told and if not detentions are booked. There's a few lovely members of staff that are caring and make learning and coming to school a positive experience but they're unfortunately let down by their colleagues. Bullying and theft is a common thing in roding valley that no… *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — Hell on earth: All of the terrible reviews on try is site are all true. Hell has a place on earth in this school. If you love your children please don’t let them be subjected to the horrors of this abominable hell hole. It will ruin their lives, be a bully or get bullied and their life will be made hell, in 2025 how can this even still exist, psychological lifelong trauma, physical abuse and much worse! Ofsted should be aware of this disturbing hell hole! *(Jun 2025)*

- **1/5** — Appalling school: My daughters experience over the last couple years are shocking. The teachers don’t care, the students are horrible. The teachers are the most shocking part; kicking students belongings, putting them down, being overall unfair, it’s shocking. My daughter has had the worst secondary schools experience you can possibly imagine at this school. For the love of your child, don’t send them there. *(Apr 2024)*
