But when any other student does one bad thing then she gets mad. Other teachers will completely ignores students mental health and does the F all to help those with extra needs. Some other teachers have gave students detention when they stand u… *(May 2025)* - **5/5** — Excellent School Experience for Our Children: We've had a truly positive experience with South Wirral High School. The facilities are top-notch, and our child has thrived in the supportive and challenging environment. We particularly appreciate the emphasis on values such as kindness, respect, and determination. *(Jan 2023)* - **5/5** — Taco bell: First time at a Taco Bell being a person that loves Mexican food especially from a local takeaway in Airdrie Scotland So on hearing a new store opened in Cumbernauld 15 minutes from us we jumped to try it. Looking at the pictures on the menu they looked big n chunky and very appetising so it was a bit of an anti climax when we received our order and got this limp squashed flat supposed burrito thing was like the scene from the Michael Douglas film Falling Down Very poor and nothing like the adve… *(Oct 2022)* - **1/5** — Oh my Lord it’s bad: Mental health/illness and bullying is not taken seriously at this school, I attempted suicide in my last year and I was told to “be more resilient” and to “stop taking time off school” Do not attend this god awful school if you want to keep your sanity. *(Oct 2022)* - **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares About Its Students: As a parent, it's wonderful to see our child so engaged and happy at South Wirral High School. The school's commitment to pastoral care and the Duke of Edinburgh program has been a highlight for us. We feel grateful for the caring teachers and staff who go above and beyond to support our child's growth. *(Jun 2022)* - **1/5** — Worst school on the Wirral: I have severe mental health issues and due to this miss a significant amount of school in bad episodes. Pastoral there are not understanding whatsoever and even admitted to not having any mental health training. One of them has a degree in art. Teachers and pastoral invalidate many students on a daily basis including myself claiming things never happened. Teachers always force students to partake in activities that can send them into panic attacks and breakdowns and have a go at them when they c… *(Jan 2022)* - **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Our Time at South Wirral: While our child had some great experiences at South Wirral High School, we did struggle with the transition process when they first joined. However, the teachers and facilities were excellent, and our child eventually thrived in their sixth form years. Overall, a good school with some areas for improvement. *(Dec 2021)* - **1/5** — Bad place, had to leave early: School was shit and here is why! :) 1.) Doesn't accept anxiety as a legitimate reason for being off despite multiple letters from doctors / hospital and counsellors (was also sent various fines due to it) 2.) Teachers will shout / tell you off for having a panic attack 3.) Will force you into dance / drama even with socializing issues 4.) Lied to my counsellor about a meeting then blamed it on her 5.) Doesn't know how to deal with mental health 6.) Lied to my parents about how they dealt with me… *(Jul 2021)* - **1/5** — Terrible place: I went to to school a couple years ago with anxiety and dyslexia and had to leave early due to how i was treated by staff. They would always knock off attendance due to my anxiety not being a "legitimate" reason to be off and would repeatedly send fines my way despite having various doctors / hospital / counsellor notes. They would also remove me from the base (witch is practically a quiet room where you can do your work) as they believed that i was consistently using the rooms to avoid lessons.… *(Jul 2021)* - **1/5** — Don’t go here: This school is so bad I recommend you don’t go to it the teachers don’t do anything to help kids with ADHD or Anger issues. Certain teachers also pick on kids with behavioural problems and the teachers don’t believe the kids they always believe teachers. There is a lot more I could say but I don’t want to waste my time writing about such a place. Overall this is a terrible school and I would rate it no starts if I had a choice *(Jun 2021)* ## Other schools in Wirral - [St John Plessington Catholic College](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/st-john-plessington-catholic-college-14270) — 1.5/5 (25 reviews) - [Pensby High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/pensby-high-school-2376) — 1.4/5 (22 reviews) - [Calday Grange Grammar School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/calday-grange-grammar-school-14363) — 2.4/5 (15 reviews) - [Upton Hall School FCJ](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/upton-hall-school-fcj-13372) — 2.2/5 (15 reviews) - [Hilbre High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/hilbre-high-school-13726) — 2.0/5 (14 reviews) - [Woodchurch High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/woodchurch-high-school-14129) — 1.5/5 (11 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
