"Abused parent never met in 7 years "

The school has no experience with domestic abuse cases! They have never met me as a mother, my son now in 6th form I’ve called 3 times then visited 2 times , how brave I was going in! No results deputy head speaks to you, in a way by in business I’d never tolerate and the Head B Master PA advises to complain to board of governors, without even picking up the phone. Don’t send your kid to this school! They Don’t help separated parents, I regret the day I was confirmed to send my kid to a school that can let abuse happen acknowledge or not acknowledge it! Makes me ashamed of my religion!

"Decent school, a lot of improvement needed"

You do learn a lot here however the mental health support is very poor, getting told schools only a fraction of your life and you gotta get over it

"From experience "

It’s a good school just need to improve on working with all students rather then working a a few students, for example not giving the quite students who get on with there work, no extra support main focus tends to be on the top set students, students who mess about or just certain students in general, however the school is quite good overall.

"Great school "

I would recommend this school because the teachers and head teacher are really friendly and understanding. However they rarely do not deal well with bullying.
