## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Avoid at all costs investigations should be made: The school gave me PTSD and I was labelled as a difficult child. I have had a teacher tell me I was “stupid”, been told I was “going to get knifed”. Bullying, threats and weapons couldn’t have been a worse school luckily my parents moved me and believe it or not my grades increased and I was no long a problem child as they said word for word. Finished my Alevels and at Exeter uni now couldn’t be happy if you want your children to be happy don’t send them here I have never hated my life more. *(Jun 2024)*
- **1/5** — Please read: Former student at the school going into my last year at university. I attended the school for three years before moving and it was horrible. There has always been some nice teachers but the management is awful. Having anxiety and wanting to go home they locked me in the isolation room refusing to let me leave and refused to contact my mum. If this reaches anyone I really hope you can change this. I always felt unsafe there was always someone with a knife secretly and nothing was done about bad b… *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — holly blackwood: very bad hygiene and teachers do not care about children's learning. very strict school and many misbehaved kids. do not even have a headteacher yet and their behaviour system is very strict and poor unlike it used to be a few years ago with the old headteacher. everything has gone downhill. *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — I cannot stand magna here is why...: I hated this school as an ex student I thought after a year after being bullied in year 7 I should cover some things up everybody sprays water everywhere, fights happen every single day, people are not good in classes, fire alarm has been pulled by students wasting a lot of time. And pastoral is useless this was written in 2023 and the thing's happened in 2021-2022, I cried when I went home because of how bad it was do NOT send you're children here worst thing you can do, the food is amazing tho… *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — The magna carta school: I do not recorded coming to this school the teachers are rude and un caring *(May 2023)*
- **1/5** — The magnacarta school: Bad school don't recommended *(May 2023)*
- **2/5** — The Magna Carta school: It’s was a horrible place to endure 5 years of your life in. There were many good aspects. However, negative situations are never dealt with properly or effectively. Harassment is rife and some teachers are rude and uncomfortable to be around. However education was good throughout my time there and most passed with needed qualifications *(Oct 2022)*
- **1/5** — Don’t go here: Had fun at the school but didn’t really learn much It’s more of cheap babysitting It’s a horrible school and every year I was there it just got worse and worse *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — Dont send your children: The teachers were horrible, they had no faith in their students (this seemed to only be exclusive to the children who needed extra help though, able bodied and nurotypical children seemed to be left alone) Their policies are outdated and they just drain all hope you have, if you mess up in ur first year they will target you for the next 4 years *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — pastoral lead&beahviour: miss roe has been there for me and other students when we have had mental health issues and other issues new behaviour policy has significantly changed the behaviour of the students *(Aug 2022)*
