   Great place and for the reviews marking the school down for being struck for late students it isn’t particularly true. I have to take a 30 minute bus to school to arrive at 08:30 to do my job as a student Libra I’m and have never been late even after my bus crashed because I got up early to arrive on time! These remarks are by student who stay up late or don’t bother to wake up early enough to get public transport and addressing train or bus delays as long as you inform the teacher with any sort of substantial evidence(images of vehicles breaking down or train schedules being changed due to delay at certain stations) you get in no trouble so don’t listen to those reviews as they are unfairly justified.

   Like another user has said only send your child If you are not totally reliant on public transport as they are inconsiderately punishing students who turn up late for no fault of their own. I find the schools heavy handed approach quite inconsiderate. Even slight delays will be marked late and also given detention. This despite the fact that we often get reminders from the head urging children to use public transport over car.

   Excellent pastoral support. Teachers are kind and compassionate especially English and RS. Miss Steadman, miss Sly and Mrs Steadman come highly recommended as their care and patience is impeccable. Library staff are excellent. lots of activities like chess club and drama.

   do NOT go if your child needs to take public transport! School is extremely unfair and unforgiving with late circumstances and staff wont even follow their own guidelines!! I am extremely disgusted by their methods to "modify" students behavior, especially since it cannot be helped in most circumstances! Only send your child here if you are ok with near-authoritarian rules and punishments with no care for the childs or parents wellbeing!!!!

   Fantastic school with brilliant opportunities. Would be 5 star if it wasn't for some of the sport coaches. My son has just made the transition into year 11 and he says that the hockey coach is a bully and chooses favourites. He said that he got the blame everytime he couldn't recieve a pass because the footballers and A team rugby players who can't pass got picked for the a team over brilliant hockey players.
