## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Hilbre high school: Awful school , no support , over subscribed . Headteacher does not respond to parents concerns. Teachers ignore bad behaviour . Absolutely shocking *(Apr 2025)*
- **1/5** — Worst School on The Wirral: Worst school on the Wirral. Headmaster is a joke. Kids welfare is nothing more than a set of buzzwords, there’s no actual action. *(Sep 2024)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience at Hilbre High School: While my child has enjoyed some aspects of Hilbre High School, such as the sports facilities and the Sixth Form Open Evening, they have also found some of the teachers to be challenging to work with. The school’s values of respect and kindness are evident, but I have concerns about the level of support provided for students with special educational needs. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Dslag: Mr Bellamys a slag n should leave the school *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Terrible school: My daughter got bullied so much so she had a breakdown and left aged 15. Bullied because she was quiet and bright. Teaching below standard and the teachers let the bullying go on. No support. The school lost all my daughter’s course work when she left. She started again went to college and university. She still has nightmares about the place. *(Apr 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Experience at Hilbre High School: I have been impressed with the level of care and support my child has received at Hilbre High School. The teachers are enthusiastic and dedicated to their students’ learning, and the facilities are excellent. My child has thrived in the school’s supportive environment and has made many friends. *(Feb 2023)*
- **1/5** — Horrid school: Absolutely dreadful school. If you have a child with special needs please don’t send them here. They DO NOT CARE. Bullying is rife and nothing gets done about it. They try and brush everything under the carpet. *(Feb 2023)*
- **3/5** — Average: The schools fine served it’s purpose just like any other school really, most teachers are friendly and helpful but doesn’t have the best facilities, I’ve since moved on to do my a-levels elsewhere though most people that moved with me ended up moving back. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Education and Environment: My child attended Hilbre High School for three years and had an excellent experience. The school’s focus on academic rigor and personal development was evident in the high quality of teaching and the wide range of extracurricular activities available. The school’s commitment to safeguarding and well-being was also reassuring. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Overall great school: To be honest the school at the min is kind of strict as in locking upstairs corridors and toilets with willys drawn on the walls but great and friendly teachers *(May 2022)*
