"The School That Has No Magic!"

Decent supports mid but...

Firstly, I walked to into being isolated for breathing. This is a disgust and should be against the law. We were also made to do P. E. In a SNOW STORM. Customer Service Is Terrible.

"An honest review"

Great Marlow school is honestly a great school good education and food.I up to go there as a kid and all the art's and crafts lessons were to fun.All of the activities are good and I had a really good time.But I know that you need to have school uniform on but in the summer all the children are boiling.I think they should allow people to use short.Also the lines for lunch are humongous I would be waiting in the line and by the time I get my lunch it's the end of break.Thank you for your time.

"Avoid "

If I could give a 0 I would - the school is very rough, the kids are horrible and get away with murder. Head teacher is soft, it’s very left wing, they do nothing for bullying. All the grammar school rejects go there and it shows. Uniform - they allow the girls to wear mini skirts, shorts are hot pants. You expect for Marlow to have a certain standard - it’s all high Wycombe scum attending.

"Great marlow school "

A bit mid, the teacher are good with the educating and are very helpful to push u to higher grades. Don’t get me started on the canteen it’s also mid. A scary bold teacher. Strict on uniform, but doesn’t affect my learning so really the teachers have nothing better to do. Doesn’t tolerate bullying and try their best to stop it but aren’t great at it. Overall pretty good.

"How the school is "

When I was getting bullied they originally did nothing about it until my mum got involved. Then when I applied to be a prefect they said the reason I’m not one is because of my mental health. It’s not fair but the majority of the teachers are kind and understanding.

"not bad"

Really nice teachers but there has been evident lack of support for struggling students in terms of mental health, which I will not go into. Also the focus of discipline is not on the constant racist, homophobic, ableist and misogynistic "jokes" that continue to affect peoples learning AND mental health; it is focused on tiny uniform rules, equipment rules etc. Despite all this there tends to be good and decent grades and lots of academic support.

"Amazing!"

This school is immaculate they help as much as they can with mental health.There is an office if any students feel down or alone but if they cant help they will refer u to extra help.The don't really help with bullying unless the victim speaks up.
