"School from hell"
went to this school from year 7 to the start of year 10. Had to leave the school because of them brushing severe levels of bullying under the rug. Very horrible setting for any student who suffers with mental health issues or who are appart of the LGBTQ comunity. Had to have social services involved in the end. Only time students were allowed to speak English was in English lessons, otherwise that'd be a detention. School was previously very easy to escape too. Absolutely no care for their students who werent straight white people who had brilliant scores in tests and excelled at sports.

"Not good for people with mental illnesses "
I really hated being in that school, the food is bad, the students shouted at me even the students that were younger then me and they knew I was older than them, the teacher aren’t that good, I told one of them that I was getting bullied in the teacher’s class and they blame it on me and shouting at me like it was my fault and didn’t do anything about it, I had a counsellor and the head of year came in and knows about my family problems and called my mum saying I said my mum didn’t love me.
