## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — 0 stars: Awful school stay well clear. Should be closed down not fit for purpose. *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — do not send your children here!: My year 10 daughter I will not disclose her name. was being very badly bullied, she has got "jumped' multiple times recorded and posted on social media. I had to remove her from this school for her own safety. *(Dec 2023)*
- **1/5** — Student: Worst school ever, I get bullied so often teachers are horrible don’t do anything first aid is careless , students are even worse and never delt with properly.not recommended *(Dec 2023)*
- **1/5** — School review: Staff attitude horrible... kids demotivated by ridiculous reports-ask for pen (run out of ink) poor behaviour, ask for plan- poor behaviour, laughing for kid's jokes poor behaviour, etc...stating arguments...isolation and poor behaviour...kids treated without personality freedom. *(Jul 2023)*
- **2/5** — Drastic measures and critical attitude towards students: Attitude towards students is beyond critical especially pastoral. There is no freedom for children, everything has become drastic. Pen run out of ink and no pencil- Poor Behaviour sent to parents, asking for time table again Poor Behaviour, singing a song in a classroom Poor behaviour or detention. Protecting yourself from being bullied or attacked- isolation... *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Tommy adams: Excellent school I’m in year 11 and I’m happy for there opportunity that they have like teachers friends there’s no bullying so it’s the best secondary school in Peterborough i suggest. *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — Had high hopes, now hate this school: Bullying is not dealt with, mental health is not a priority, medical issues - you have to beg someone to listen to you. If I could send my child elsewhere I would. Staff are conditioned to follow the rules, so don’t expect to get help from anyone should you need it, better hope your child is perfectly unbullyable and has the emotional maturity of a 40 year old. Be prepared for your child to go hungry if getting school meals with any kind of allergies or specific diet. *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — Welcoming and inclusive community: Our child has thrived at Arthur Mellows Village College, thanks to the welcoming and inclusive community. The teachers are approachable and enthusiastic, and the school's values of respect, empathy and responsibility are evident in everything they do. We've been impressed with the range of experiences on offer, from language clubs to sports teams. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — don't recommend this school: very bad teachers, students are rude and interoperate. this School does not know how to handle bullying or their students *(Dec 2022)*
- **1/5** — shithole: i wouldn’t even bother going, teachers are useless, the first aid people are horrible and careless, i could probably do a better job myself, unless you’re straight and smart don’t even go. *(Sep 2022)*
