- **1/5** — I got abused and bullied safeguarding didnt work or do anything: Abuse I got abused bullied hit. Chesterton asked me if it was an accidental.kids hate school and all look very sick from drinking energy drinks. Teachers were mainly awful and were not caring or supportive and they would scream at you if you didn’t get a good grade. Popular cliques and lots of kissing happens at Chesterton . Food is ok but a bit dry and bland. Miss Moss was my head of house she tortured me and always tried to isolate me at lessons and make fun of me and scream at me. Sets, they … *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — ccc dont go: i hate it the teachers are horrible kicked out of the school for fighting and the other person that fought me didnt even get a no thankyou dont go to this school. *(Jun 2024)*
- **4/5** — Great School with some areas for improvement: I've got two kids who attended CCSC and they both thrived. The sports facilities are top-notch and the teachers are very supportive. However, I think the school could benefit from more parental engagement opportunities. Overall, a great school with some minor areas for improvement. *(Sep 2023)*
- **3/5** — My school review: Someone I know has received over 200 above and beyond points and the only reward they received was the 100 abps event which includes free icecream; awards such as free gift cards, items and stationary that were promised for the higher milestones of the abps were not awarded as promised in the notices leaving them and other students that were promised prizes unhappy and unsatisfied (I myself included as I hadn’t received a single reward even though I had over 50 abps). This school doesn’t seem to… *(Aug 2023)*
- **2/5** — My opinion poor: My opinion of this school is that most of the things they care about or show interest in is grades and where you stand academically. They are not very understanding with SEN children. When someone is getting bullied seem to only do something about it when its physical and don’t care if verbal bullying. *(Jul 2023)*
- **2/5** — poor with SEN children and other: all they seem to show interest in is grades. not very good for SEN children. when a child reports being bullied not much is done about it. *(Jul 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: I'm so impressed with the facilities and resources available to our daughter at Chesterton Community Sports College. The 'To Be The Best You Can Be' ethos really shines through and she's made great friends. The extracurricular options are brilliant too. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Very Encouraging Environment: Our daughter has only been at CCSC for a few months but she's already started to excel in her chosen subjects. The 'Respect' theme for this term is something we've been discussing at home and I love that the school is instilling these values in her. The parental portal is also very useful for staying up-to-date. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Bullying: They only care about students if they get good grades ! *(Oct 2022)*
- **3/5** — Former student review: I am at long road now. Chesterton had ups and downs. The teaching quality varied heavily from teacher to teacher, with some caring more about being powerful than teaching quality. Mental health support is there but only if you are at breaking point. I received free therapy and a family worker, though the school told my parents and had a lot of 'you are year 11 deal with it' conversations with me when I described my abusive home. They did then get me a family worker as they agreed it was abusive.… *(Oct 2022)*
