## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Don’t let your child go !!!: Awful school from the teaching to the bullying to the drugs. My son is very sporty, this school wasn’t for him, full of jumped up posh kids taking drugs or at least being offered them *(Sep 2024)*
- **1/5** — Bullying and bad behaviour: Terrible school that used to be good but has gone downhill over the years. Behaviour of the pupils is awful, kids shouting over the teacher and throwing things round the classrooms, teachers have no control. Bullying happens all the time and when kids complain they are blamed for it instead of dealing with the bullies. When parents complain, the head teacher bans them from emailing or just tells them they are wrong. Kids vape inside and outside the school and also do other drugs. They deal them … *(Jun 2024)*

- **5/5** — Excellent facilities and dedicated staff!: We've been impressed with the facilities at Calday Grange Grammar School, particularly the Learning Resource Centre. The staff are also extremely dedicated and supportive. Our child has thrived in this environment. *(Sep 2022)*
- **1/5** — not a good school: NOT as good as explained to me on open evening and when I was in year 6. Poor behaviour from most students which makes the miserable teachers nasty and mean to other well behaved students who haven't done anything wrong. Not to mention 90% of these teachers cannot control a class and within some classes there is favouritism where some teachers take the mickey out of specific students. The majority of teachers have a very short temper. Extremely underfunded school who spend all the money they do … *(Aug 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great all-round education: Calday Grange Grammar School provided our child with a well-rounded education and helped them develop into a confident individual. We appreciated the focus on values and the various extracurricular opportunities. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Not bad but not good.: The school is obviously underfunded and there is a wide disparity in some of the teaching. Some are the most lovely people and others act like they don't want to be there in the slightest. Grades are good but emphasised to students over personal development. Most students are immature and xenophobic. Good outside area a d the school is quite progressive and has good facilities for extra curricular but sports facilities are downtrodden and insufficient. School food is of a decent quality but pric… *(Apr 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some areas for improvement: While we've been generally happy with the school, we feel that there could be more support for parents and students in preparing for exams. However, the Oxbridge program has been extremely helpful for our child. *(Apr 2022)*
