## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — awful and strict: absolutely awful. religious ideologies enforced in a taliban style manner. students overworked and burnt out like shein factory kids. save your child the torment and dont send them here please *(Jan 2024)*
- **1/5** — Terrible: Teachers don’t care about mental health and disabilities, they don’t care about what you’re doing or what’s being done to you, and don’t do anything about bullying. Lessons aren’t the best, and most teachers don’t use methods that you remember. The only subject i’ve found myself liking is mathematics in Mr Lee’s class. Punishments for things are over the top, 3 behaviour points for leaving a book at home for whatever reason is ridiculous. The schools teachers and students are mostly unsupportive… *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school: Excellent, past pupil myself and my 2 daughters both attend the school. Both girls have thrived academically, have represented the school many times in both sporting and academic competitions. They enjoy learning, have a lovely friendship group and on the whole have nurturing and enthusiastic teachers who motivate the girls to be the best they can. Both daughters have had really loved their time at Upton as have their friends and if your child is academic wouldn't hestiate in recommending the sc… *(Aug 2023)*
- **1/5** — bad school: terrible at handling neurodivergent kids. instead of actually putting through my autism referral, they left it on a desk for months. they care more about money and exam results than their actual students. *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — They don’t give a shit about mental health: If you care about your mental health don’t go here *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Lovely School: It is a beautiful school. Lovely buildings and the history of the school is always taught in depth. Plenty of extracurriculars to choose from. Uniform is always worn with pride.Absolutely amazing school. Only thing I find troublesome is the push to join extracurriculars. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing: Not only do we learn our subjects, we learn life lessons and how to be better people. I 100% recommend this school! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing school: Not only do we learn Maths, English etc but we learn life lessons and how to be a great person. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — It's a decent school it just needs improvements: Realistically the staff do not properly address serious issues however they are good educators (with the exception of some English and science teachers) and they enabled me to get 8s and 9s in GCSEs. There is a heavy workload and lots of pressure on the students however many adapt and learn to thrive but if you are unable to cope I do not recommend it. The mental health support is present but not up to standard, there is little confidentiality and students with extra requirements or neurodiverge… *(Aug 2022)*
- **2/5** — I struggled.: school can’t handle bullying or anyone with any type of neurodivergency, students are placed under immense pressure to perform well. some teachers are incredibly rude through email. skirt length is so important apparently, if it isn’t at your knee you will be asked to roll it down. what makes this worse is that it’s an all girls school and it’s also male teachers checking your skirt is down enough. students suffer severely with mental health issues due to feeling inadequate for the standards of … *(Oct 2021)*
