Imagine making all the students come into school the day after a flood throughout the first, second and third floor. Today the lights are all broken meaning we can’t see so we are stuck hoping the sun gives us enough light to work efficiently and the floor is STILL flooding!
As a former student of this school. I had some good experiences with the teachers. But then it come to sorting out bullying most of the teachers did not anything. And they let other students (classmates) bully me for OVER 2 BLOODY YEARS. I mostly enjoyed the lessons, but break and lunch were the most hardest because of the bullying I HAD BLOODY SUFFERED there.

As a student of this school I can say it is a flaming pile of rubbish , in the art lessons you don't even get to do any art and sometimes they even mess with the courses you chose I picked textiles and they put my in drawing what is basically art the first year. when it comes to grow the teachers help the students they don't do much when it comes to bullying a lot of the students get bullied and none of them get proper help,I would get bullied and the teachers would remove me from the class and not the bullies ,on special accations you can get some help but that's when when things have became so bad that you want to leave the school.
I recommended the school when I was in year 7 but being in year 10 right now and seeing what this school has become I can honestly say I’m not proud of it anymore. There definitely are some good teachers and some good techniques that they use for teaching. However, they rely on technology too much and use apps and websites that the majority of schools around the world don’t use. As a ‘guinea pig’ I don’t feel as confident as I should in my subjects and I am talking on behalf of a lot of students. When I started the school they were all about ‘students voice’ and ‘learning together as teachers and students’ but their motive has definitely changed. Many of my friends and I try to speak up but we get penalised for doing so. I do not recommend the school anymore because the school has transformed into something I didn’t sign up for. If you are interested in the school I suggest that you come during the day and speak to as many people as you can because we all experience things differently and this may be the perfect learning process for you.
We loved our school! My son was learning in a way that allowed him to progress and enjoy learning without any stress or pressure. But in 2016 everything has changed. I am not sure what has changed exactly, I think it is a combination of issues, but it seems the ethos of the school is changing from previous years. Now my son comes home in chewed up cloths, he no longer enjoys going to school :( Hoping for next year to be better. (I could not delete a positive post l left before so had to edit it) Update: Changed school 4 month ago- best live ever. No incidents of outbursts or any behavioural issues at all... was an instant fix. Seems to be more interested academically too (which is a bonus)
