"Sick of it"

One of the worst run schools in medway.
Teachers have no idea what they are doing, commination is none existent.
Kids are made to look like the villan to take blame away from the clueless staff members.
Several teachers have left in the first year as they where either incapable or couldn't handle the kids.
The school is far from good and needs work done internally, new and a shiny with out dated views and teachers
