   I attended this school when the headmaster was Farmer-Little, a tough fair and considerate person. During this period we changed from Secondary Modern To Beckfoot Grammar. Coming from a school with no direction and limited facilities to this great place of learning. It is so easy to be negative and blame someone or thing else, it's much harder to look at yourself. I left this school and the UK starting a new life in Australia at 17, I have never looked back moulding a very successful career in the multinational area of business. Thanks Farmer-Little, thanks Beckfoot!

   Thank you for making sure I would never have a future you useless, figure obsessed, corporate s**t talkers. They only focus on the top 10 or so students in order to improve their figures and the staff blame the students for their failures. When I first walked through the doors of this pathetic excuse of a 'school' I tried my hardest in all subjects but I soon came to the attention of bullies, I tried reporting it to my head of year almost everyday but she did nothing and neither did any of my teachers except for one, my tutor even told me it was my fault due to her belief the whole class were her friends and formally punished me, I guess I was less valuable to their 'figures' than the other students. I don't remember ever been more depressed than I was back then. I later came to the conclusion that I had to be an A hole and misbehave in order to survive, which worked in the short-term but it later caused more issues for me. Mr Horns self-indulgent assemblies never helped me ether, they only ever filled students with a false sense of hope and encouraged snobbery. I always wanted to do better and my life would be so much different if I got my maths and English to grade C but I was never really offered any help, the teacher would talk a lot of rubbish about you 'being capable' without any action. I felt safer and more secure outside the school building which is probably why I skived so many lessons. The only good thing that came out of my time here was my 10 year friendship with my best friend, hes in a better place now RIP (ps 8.30am is too early for any teenager, the research you've used as an excuse for doing this is based on adults who aren't supposed to 'think' and finished puberty years before)
