## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5**: Main difficulty: My experience at Bishop David Brown School was genuinely disappointing, and I look back on my time there with very few positive memories. Instead of feeling like a place where students are encouraged to learn and grow, it often felt like a place where many students were simply trying to get through each day. One of the biggest issues for me was the condition of the toilets. They often felt dirty, were sometimes out of soap or toilet paper, and weren't places where students felt … *(Jun 2026)*
- **1/5** — Awful leadership: Awful leadership of this school. No idea at all. *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — Bdb made my life depressing: I've never ever felt so depressed when I joined this school I got bullied so much and picked on in year 7 and when I told teachers they got really angry with me and they hated me so much I just actually wanna off miself in this horrible place I feel so unwanted and tortured here the toilets are so nasty there was blood on the walls and dirty tampons it's horrible and everytime I go in the bathroom there's always different people crying there it's so horrible and when u vent to them they put u in… *(May 2025)*
- **1/5** — Worst school I've been to: Not a good school .There are a few teachers who genuinely care about their students and that's where the good things that I have to say end .The school doesn't care about bullying and almost always will either side with the bully or do absolutely the bare minimum ,and if you try to take matters into your own hands the you'll just get thrown in IEC without having your side of the story heard. Unless the the HOY sees the incident happen in front of them or is reported by one of their 'favourite' s… *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — BDB NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN: Please I beg you DO NOT come here the school Mentally abuses children and it’s honestly horrible there is only 4 teachers who are nice the isolation teachers started shouting at me when I was crying and said and I quote “can you be a it quieter” while I was crying! Pls do not send your child here it will mentally scare them!!!The teacher while I was doing work touched my shoulder and say what are you doing after repeatedly telling ppl I don’t like being touched she never respected my boundaries … *(Dec 2024)*

- **1/5** — LIVING NIGHTMARE: This is the shittest school I have ever been in its so dirty the school toilet stinks of fish and there's tissues everywhere and the students don't even flush the toilet after they shit and piss everywhere the school dose not give a shit about mental health and if u try explain something to teachers they will just put you in isolation the teachers are rude and disrespectful and you don't get the proper education they care about behaviour more than mental health they scream at ur face and u can't… *(Oct 2024)*

- **3/5** — Bishop David Brown School: BDB is a mid school if you ask me. The teachers always expect lots of work from you and pretty much shout 24/7 about little things. The headteacher is ballistic, always shouts for no goddamn reason, I've never seen him smile or anything istg. Some teachers are actually decent but others just act like they have sticks up their arses. Some people who go here are fucking demented, istg I wanna beat the crap out of them. At least 3 teachers leave every year for another school cuz of how cruel and an… *(Dec 2023)*
