I’m sad that I can’t give 0 stars. Once my maths teacher told me to close my legs because my legs where a bit spreaded and when she sent me out she said it’s not lady like and boys can look under even tho I was sitting at the front and I had shorts under, idk if it’s sexism or no, also one of the teachers told me to stand at the start of the line in roll call and wipe my makeup off and everyone was staring at me I nearly… *(Aug 2025)* - **1/5** — horrible school: terrible school, some one i know was getting bullied the majority of her secondary school life until she had enough because the school did absolutely nothing and moved to another school, i don’t recommend at all. *(Jul 2025)* - **1/5** — Teachers don’t care about students or Parents: The staff do not care about the children or parents views, most are on a power trip. There is no opportunity for the voice of the child and the SEN department is under funded *(Mar 2025)* - **1/5** — Horrible School: A student litterally broke my knee by throwing me into a fire door and the school did nothing about it *(Dec 2024)* - **1/5** — bad school: This school doesn’t care about anything not even students mental health all they care about is Jewelry Nails Uniform/short skirts Being late even if the halls is crowded or you want toilet Behaviour even tho they made our behaviour worse I don’t recommend this school At all go to a different one *(Sep 2024)* - **1/5** — Definition of hell: This school sucks, I was clearly struggling to go school but all they cared about was my attendance. Did eventually give me a part time table but when it ran out I had to have “doctors proof” that I had anxiety but doctors refused and I couldn’t get another part time table. Wasn’t able to get homeschooled. Can’t wait to get out of this hell hole. *(May 2024)* - **1/5** — please do not come here its Despicable: I would not recommended this school unless you have 100% english in your blood and are whiter then the background . They do NOT care about your education and care more about uniform and screaming at little children who have no idea what is going on. In addition to this half the teachers are literally racist and try to connect lgbtqerty to many religions which forbid this. also they say you are to wear a -1 inch blazer at all times in the winter instead of actual warm clothes. they have threatene… *(Mar 2024)* - **1/5** — Worst school ever: holy the teachers in this school are awful. all they care about is a pay check they dont prepare us for any understanding of the real world out there and dont even prepare us for our exams. the environment of the school is appalling and the bullying is out of hand. teachers see the bullying and they do nothing about it. the cleanliness of this school is disgusting and the keyboards walls toilets and everything is absolutely disgusting. the teachers in this school dont give 2 shits about the stud… *(Oct 2023)* - **1/5** — Ken Stimpson: Actually an awful school. I don’t recommend it after spending 5 years at this school i’m glad to be leaving the teachers aren’t supportive and focus on discipline more than education. Basic needs such as the right to go to the toilet are taken away from students as the toilets are blocked off and teachers refuse to let students go by saying “we’re learning right now”. Mirrors are taken out of toilets to prevent skiving and to stop girls from fixing their makeup and hair in them. Students vandali… *(May 2023)* ## Other schools in Peterborough - [The Deepings School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/the-deepings-school-13324) — 1.3/5 (33 reviews) - [Thomas Deacon Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/thomas-deacon-academy-11600) — 1.5/5 (20 reviews) - [Stanground Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/stanground-academy-13330) — 2.7/5 (18 reviews) - [Hampton Gardens Secondary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/hampton-gardens-secondary-school-18066) — 2.3/5 (18 reviews) - [Arthur Mellows Village College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/arthur-mellows-village-college-12022) — 1.9/5 (18 reviews) - [Ormiston Bushfield Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/peterborough/ormiston-bushfield-academy-11877) — 1.3/5 (18 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
