- **1/5** — Useless!!!: This school absolutely sucks. It's awful! The teachers are horrible and useless, who are biased against anyone who isn't 'popular', and will ignore you. A male teacher used to undo his belt and loosen his trousers during lessons, a former geography teacher who knew so little about anywhere that wasn't in the uk. A power tripping aide to the truancy teacher, the truancy teacher stank of BO. Another useless power tripping aide, who stank of cigarettes and wouldn't let girls go to the bathroom. A l… *(Jun 2025)*

- **1/5** — St cyres review: Getting treated really unfair *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — Fond memories of condoms thrown at female tutors until they cry.: It is a terrible school, I do however have fond memories of delinquent classes, chairs thrown, tables flipped and condoms thrown at female tutors until they cry. Some of the teachers here are more than just on the verge of creepy, favouritism is huge, you will not get a decent schooling here. It was a traumatic place to go. Really terrible, it's a shame there are so few good options for schooling in the vale, a real education is not really existent from my experiences. Old school 'associates' I … *(Dec 2023)*
- **1/5** — Horrendous school.: Vile school. In the process of pulling my daughter out of the pit. Treats it's pupils like criminals and their parents like toddlers. My daughter was assaulted by 3 girls that waited for her outside of the school gates. They didn't even contact me even after I called them and left a vm. Nothing was done to these girls yet my daughter placed in isolation on a heatwave, no work, no breaks and little supervision for a few green highlights in her hair to lift her spirits after being told daily to ki… *(Sep 2023)*
- **3/5** — My opinions on my school: Honestly with me i dont like it, the only reason i have the audacity to go to school is so that i can see my friends and boyfriend. *(Jun 2023)*
- **1/5** — Worst reviews: St cyres is the worst option you could pick. I hate it here at st cyres, it ruined my life . I’m stressed and depressed because of that school lies we’re spread about me and it’s a racist school . I’ve had like 3 fights and a white girls had 15, they want to kick me out . They don’t support Eastern European girls or boys they treat them like trash . Worst school ever kids get shout at by the teachers and students self harm because of the school . I’ve seen so many girls with scars all over then … *(Mar 2023)*
- **1/5** — Horrendous Additional Learning Needs Department: Horrendous Additional Learning Needs Department run by the incompetent , exteptionally rude and openly hostile ALNco. If your child has addrional needs stay away. Staff cover up bullying., which they cannot control. I am one of many parents that had to take my child out of the school for their own wellbeing. There needs to be an independent investigation to address the school's serious falings and the impact this has on the children that are left there. *(Jan 2023)*
- **1/5** — Worst school ever for bullying: Terrible school refused to do anything about bullying but when you defend yourself you get in trouble hmm ok ? *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Very bad: School do nothing to solve the bullying, children get threatened by other pupils with knifes Children walk around the school with no masks on during the pandemic Absolutely disgusting *(Nov 2020)*
