- **1/5** — Neurodiverse: If I could I wouldn't even give this school a one star rating. If you have any children who are neurodiverse this school is not the place for them to be. Unless you have a diagnois already the school will not believe you when you tell them they have signs of being neurodiverse and they will blame it on 'home life' instead of looking into things further, until they decide to and by then its too late and you wont be looking at a diagnosis until they are in comprehensive if not later. They will spe… *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — Bullying, And prison like area.: This school is like a prison, I'll keep it short but detailed, Everywhere you turn there is a Camera, every door you have a lock and you can only go to the toilet at break and lunch, with all the doors being locked up I would feel a small relief when I pushed a door and it wasn't. A teacher even got electrocuted by the door in the math corridor but the school didn't close down and children walked through the door all afternoon.Do not go here. 3 words to describe it Favouritism,Childish, UnSuppor… *(May 2025)*
- **1/5** — BULLYING IS TERRIBLE: Wish I could give it a zero !! The school and the new head mistress are both a joke . Three times I have been ringing about the bullying against my child and still no call back , but yet they phone me when my other child has played up . The bullying is extreme and they don't care , they more concerned with attendance and school uniform ( which is 1 rule for the girls and 1 for the boys ) . The head is a joke how she got the job I do not know . Pupils put in a room for not wearing the uniform yet… *(Mar 2025)*

- **1/5** — Would not recommend: Super school with over 900 pupils, ratio staff to pupils is a joke. I have read the comments on this page all children and parents state the same favouritism , staff expect respect but fail to show any to children shame the school does not listen to the reviews. The school is pushing so much to look good on paper at the expense of a child’s well being. *(Nov 2024)*
