"Shit School"

Omg everything basically sucks about this school, except for the food, everyone is horrible the teachers horrible, they don’t deal with anything they just try fix it and go “ come on girls, you aren’t in year 2”- from one of the teachers, the rules are there to keep us safe not to make us feel like shit, they have way to many rules, I get some rules but most of them are a bunch of rubbish, idc if you find out who I am, I’m only speaking absolute facts, also shoving Welsh down people’s throats ain’t a good look, and throwing a fit just because the girls shorts are just above there knee is childish, get better standards and maybe this place wouldn’t be sp shit. ( also the school is absolutely disgusting 0 hygiene and very old )

"Good overall but could have some improvements"

It’s a good school although their bullying policy could be updated and there should be better mental health services for kids. I also believe there is too much stress put on us from the first day of year 7 all the way to year 11 or 13. I also feel that they are hypocritical when talking about the school uniform policy as they say “we want to have an environment where students can express themselves” but then put loads of rules on us which to me is like they saying if you dress or look anyway different to how they want you to look then you are wrong which I find wrong especially as hair and piercings don’t affect learning and we shouldn’t have to wait until we get to switch to college or university to begin expressing ourselves
