This school is terrible. I wouldnt reccomend this school to anyone. First of all they care so much about reviews. If youre a student that goes there and you give a bad review they take you out of class tell you to delete it or they will exclude you. They over power you way too much. They take away your freedom and freedom of speech when really we are meant to be listening to others. Their expectations are WAY to high for most kids to achieve. They take away your individuality by having a really strict dress code. No certain hair colours or piecings as its "distracting" or "not sutible". And i know some companies wont allow some things but having somethig like purple or red hair with two small earings cant hurt, surely. Also its quite odd, when we dye our hair a non natural hair colour we get into big trouble but a teacher a few weeks ago dyed her hair purple. Also adding on to the strict uniform part. We arent allowed to wear trainers ans our year managers go crazy on school shoes but one of the year managers was walking around school with trainers on for about a week but we cant wear them for a day?good excuse or not? Sorry what? This is just being a hypocrite When it comes to school meals you dont have much options and if you have had a detention you get the scraps. Especially when they brought in the c3 ans c4. Its like theyre starving you as when you get there, there isnt anything to eat. What they say is mainly lies as they want a good reputation and most courses you take arent what they say they would be or they would be way harder than expected. Eg visual communications. They say it will be like a designing on computers subject. Its more about geography and business and you arent really doing a lot of designing. Some teachers take things way too far and abuse the C system. Some teacher you cant rely on as if you got to them about bullying they will tell you to make an incident report and they'll sort it out but they never do. Its the same with mental health. I asked to see a school nurse and i had it for a while. Im meant to have weekly sessions but i havent had one in 2 weeks. And i really need the help. Ive had to go to other options to try and help.They also go crazy on attendance. If you have a REAL reason to be off eg. A death or youre in hospital. For the hospital one you have to prove it to them this is the same with holidays. THEY have to decide WHEN you go on holiday if you are going during a school term. This goes back to the freedom point. They take it all away. Most human rights they take away and its awful. its dissapointing as some teachers are so sweet and helpful ans actually care about the students learning.
This is not epic. There was this one time where my cousins friends birds mothers dogs sister put a bad review of the school and they were then forced to change it to 5 stars or they'd be excluded. Just so you kids know the blank 5 star reviews are not 'real' and only used to upper the overall rating, however intellectuals (which you surprisingly get here) have managed to get their bad reviews on. No disrespect to the teachers as lots of them are actually good but some of the school rules are a bit ridiculous, and I completely agree that this school is 'like a gulag.' The higher ups here actually must be trying to be Vladmir Putin because of the amount of censorship over what we can say about the school. Furthermore, the lunch is pretty fr1cking!1!1 bad and we're made to wait for the majority of our 40 minute lunchtime, say about 25 minutes, even if we just want a sandwich. The policys on phones, hair dye, and makeup amongst other things seem pretty pointless, and thats coming from someone not particularly affected by those rules. The main problem I have with them is that the school chose to focus on these rather than more important issues such as bullying, or the gosh darn lunch. While this school has few good points, if you're thinking of coming here: get out while you still can. Sincerely, Josef
This school is sooooooooo bad like just look at the Ofsted review everything is inadequate. We get threatened to be excluded if we write a bad review and the school is below national average. Lots of teachers are grumpy all the time and hate their job. Ofsted themselves said the teachers/teaching is inadequate. According to what I've heard some teachers have hit students and broken the law in other ways but the heads are so desperate that they don't report it and allow the teachers to continue what they are doing. Anyone that speaks about it gets an after school detention or exclusion because the school don't want to risk getting found out because i assure you the school would be shut down.All the blank 5 star reviews are fake and need to be deleted. Teachers say that if we are off we miss important lessons; the problem with this is that the lessons normally don't teach us anything. One time we were learning our times tables in a maths lesson because even the teachers know that they're trash. The keyboards and mice are so greasy and i swear we get hemorrhoid's from them. After using the computers i need to run to the toilet to wash my hands between lessons. The school have bad computers but everybody knows that moneys tight, seeing as they make a new uniform every year. Another thing they do (which may not be legal) is collect data and give it to third parties, but do they specify which third parties? No, they don't. So how do they get away with it? Simple, they make it so that whichever class gets the forms in first gets points. Now, how is this bad? Because any parents that are at work or away over the week need to rush to sign it. Also they use "big words" to make it impossible to understand, this means that all the chav's parents don't know what it means and will just sign it anyway. I know someone who asked about this and the people just said that they didn't know what it meant. I find it weird that everyone that didn't hand it in got a detention but he asked everyone why they need the sheet and he never got a detention. Funny as it is he still hasn't handed it in to this day and nobody has asked him about it. The good thing is that there is these legends called Mr Taylor and Mr Tunesi who are just hard as out.
How about a story about this epic school.-Write honest review about the schools good points(there are none) and bad points.-Go to school next day.-Mr Walton's assembly about how attendance is important and how you shouldn't miss lessons.-Lesson about free speech.-Get taken out of 'very important' lesson (about free speech).-"CHANGE YOUR REVIEW ABOUT THIS SCHOOL OR YOU WILL BE EXCLUDED"-isn't that a violation of my free speech????????? Another Story.-Got lesson about how eating animals is murder and they are in bad conditions. -Bought Bacon sandwich -Mmmmmmmmmmmm tasty
This school is like a Gulag. Its freezing in the winter and the school jumpers are paper thin and offer no elemental protection. Lessons consist of copying off the board instead of using our brains because that encourages free thought and the fascist Government cant be havin that. If you post negative reviews (like this one) they nab you from your Lessons and force you to change it to five stars under threat of exclusion which is a violation to our right to Free Speech. The catch up sheets make a majority of their receivers suicidal I mean your off for one day and they act like your going to fail your GCSEs even though everyone is going to fail anyways because the quality of our education is below the national average. The new Fhrer, sorry I mean Principal has introduced numerous unpopular rules including the ban on mobile phones which has resulted in a drastic increase of Lunchtime hooliganism These Absolute Scranners chuck food around the yard like absolute chavs which can be funny until you get pelted in the face with a soggy sandwich. Also sort out the mob of chavs who smoke outside the back gate and give everyone who walks past lung cancer please.All in all this school is an Orwellian institution that robs you of the right to free speech and thought and Ive given it a two star because its not as bad as it seems but its still a very poor school.Also when Ofsted comes around dont tell the teachers, surprise them, I mean Ofsted are useless but watching teachers crumble when they dont have a pre planned lesson to impress them will be hilarious.Yours truly, Comrade John Smith Changed it to a 1 star because of Miss Quinn robbing Year 11 of their PE lessons
