Wasn't impressed. Had an English teacher who couldn't even use correct grammar when trying to impress parents on an open day. Shocking! I'm sure it'll do for some though....
I have three children affiliated to Sanders School from 2010 to current Pro's: - Good transport links to school - Excellent art, history, geography teachers but there is a high staff turnover and all too often the good ones leave. - There is a primary school on the same site if you have other children. Con's: - Health & safety issues; kids getting locked in toilets during lessons, never any hand soap, tap water only trickles (limescale/washer issues) rarely any toilet paper (I send it in with my kids). A child climbed onto the school roof during break and had to be removed by emergency services. Staff supervision is questionable - my child was set upon by boys 2 years above him on the back field. Staff nowhere to be seen - Data Protection Issues: staff went through my daughter's bag, retrieved her phone and started reading through messages and contacts to prove the phone was hers so they could confiscate it. Bear in mind, that said phone was vital in alerting me to the fact she was locked in the toilets by staff during lesson, so that I could call the school to release her. - Staff Integrity - very questionable. Dare you question a member of staff they will pursue an onslaught of fabricated events to punish your child to get back at you. I have witnessed (and recorded) staff lying about 'incidents' involving my child. When presented with the evidence, they manifested an excuse to punish my son. Their malice knows no bounds, but I now regard my child to be 'at risk' in their care. - School governance - again, questionable. The governors and head teacher work in unison. They are a cohesive team and generally echo one another. Don't expect an impartial unbiased response for escalated matters. For that, you'd need to escalate outside their faraday cage. I am an honest, fair and transparent person. Is it too much to expect the same of a service provider charged with realising my child's potential? Is it acceptable for the school to dictate expectations from the children, but fail to lead by example? My parenting style encourages lateral thinking and to evaluate and challenge the information presented. It is unfortunate that a school full of academics are devoid of the capacity to acknowledge this as a life skill, instead labelling it as a 'behavioural' problem, thereby suppressing the very essence of reasoning and logic. I would not recommend this school to any conscientious parent.
Can't say enough good things about this school. Supportive of all the children and refreshingly supportive of the ones who want to do well and are prepared to work hard for it. I've always told my children. Only the foolish hate being taught. Our education system works brilliantly if you want to be educated.
This is my school and it is amazing the food is also nice love this school
it my school to and i love it so much it is fun and active
