It’s an awful school full of bullies and the teachers and head are more concerned about covering this up than they are stopping the bullying infact the bullies don’t even get reprimanded! *(Sep 2025)* - **1/5** — Stanley stinks of shit the nonce: firm of emos that stink so bad i left the school little gorms *(Sep 2024)* - **1/5** — Devastated Disappointment: St john Plessington: St john Plessington is not a suitable school for students due to multiple reasons. The school has a negative culture where bullying of teachers and staff is rampant. This creates a hostile learning environment that affects students mental and emotional wellbeing attending St john Plessington is just as bad as playing "Overwatch 2" Were my son as try to hang himself several times It is deeply concerning to hear that a School could be as bad as it is. Furthermore, the quality of education at St jo… *(Oct 2023)* - **1/5** — Strongly advise against working here.: Violent, constant disruption, SLT might as well not exist. I came across swastikas drawn in textbooks so many times I lost count. *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — Plessington review: I would not recommend coming to this school, the teachers are horrible and will pick on you for no reason.some teachers are nice but that’s rare. *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — Not Safe: Dangerous. Lot of student on student violence and swastikas carved into desks and drawn in books. *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — Review: How to describe such a school is truly beyond me in so many fashions that it would be hard to find the exact words; pathetic will have to do. There are many issues with this school that I simply have to list: First and foremost, the NEW one way system- while I was never a fan of the old one way system as it forced us to go around the entire school to get to a lesson five meters from the last at least it worked but now that they have built a new building they completely flipped the system on its … *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — Do not send your child here.: Worst school i've ever attended. Teachers do not do anything to help you nor believe a word you say. They also think they have the right to check and monitor every student by making them stand on a painted green line when the gates open every morning to check if anyone has makeup on. If the teacher seen a child with mascara on they would make them feel humiliated by making them wipe it off infront of everyone as they are coming into school. There are about 20 cubicles in this school for both gir… *(Mar 2023)* - **5/5** — I love it Here!!: I'm a student at Sjp and I'm loving it the teachers are kind and actually care I love my English teacher Mrs Mcveigh she's lovely and I do get bullied but the head of years will sort it out but it can take a while because they have alot of problems to deal with so you just need to be patient =] so my opinion 5/5 *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — Terrible school: I recommend no one sends their child to this school. Especially if your child has learning difficulties. The SEN Dept is terrible. Just lip service. You need to be an A Grade student and conform to their good catholic strict demands. Pupils are numbers that make money for their school and improve their stats. Teachers scream at the children and do not listen or talk to the children. There is a high turnover of staff which says a lot. *(Jan 2023)* ## Other schools in Wirral - [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) - [South Wirral High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/wirral/south-wirral-high-school-24067) — 2.0/5 (13 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.
