   To sum up my time at this school: horrendous. My brother was bullied for having a condition he couldn't help. He was physically, verbally and bullied online. another thing about this is that I was bullied for being related to him, The teachers simply don't care about the pupils, as we asked time and time again for them to do something but they didn't do a thing. The only good part of this school was the waffles at break.

   To start off, don’t bring your child here. There is so many teachers that don’t care about your children’s education and will say everything they do is bad and bring them down until they can’t be brought down anymore. They will come home acting happy but they truly are crying inside. I have friends who were forced to eat in a toilet cubical because they were not allowed to eat within the dinner hall. The food is made of paper, well tastes like it anyway. OFSTED reviews say it all, they always get bad and unsatisfactory reviews. Overall it is the worst possible middle school to be sent to

   Awful. Care about the uniform more than they do students. Don’t particularly do anything about bullying either or deal with things properly so it gets to the point when you don’t want to come into school because of it. 5 lessons a day were better than 6 because it’s rushing the topics and loosing education time with is the most important throughout school. Some teachers just go way too far.. completely honest I left with no self confidence at all. Bullying takes a big part in it and so do the teachers, the teachers do nothing about it. Plenty of times I was different teachers and they did nothing about it! Never got believed until finally it got to the point it was happening to more people than just me until they actually took notice of it. No offence taken in this but some teachers value more students than others. Often times where teachers wouldn’t like me and I’d get pointed out from everyone else for no reason.. happened a few times. Just made me feel like I wasn’t apart of the school or the ‘family’ as they call it but everyone’s supposed to feel like they belong there? I trired and nothing got done about some of the problems I had so no people don’t always feel like they belong there but don’t bother saying anything because nothing gets done about it. They say talk to someone and the teachers don’t help but when you get a parent or parents to come into school about it many times they’ll say something will be done and it never happens. Often many times I’d go to a teacher about something because it got to the point where I didn’t want to come into school and I’d speak to a teacher and the other people would go in after me and try to say it’s me making things up when I had no reason too I’d walk out and I’d hear off the teachers ‘don’t worry I believe you’ you can’t take sides. Some of the students have to deal with not feeling like they belong and they go round saying they believe other people and not you, it’s not right. They try to do something and speak to someone and nothing gets done. Some aspects of the school are good, I agree with that but in my opinion a lot needs to be done about it.

   Dreadful pastoral care, zero interest in the welfare and best interests of the students, a culture of favouritism and institutional bullying whilst preaching empty worthless holy virtues. Expect your child to be stripped of their individuality and self confidence if you send them there. Robot teachers teach by numbers and are largely incapable of nurturing interest or enthusiasm. I'd be amazing if a pot plant could survive a week, never mind an impressionable youngster survive 4 years with their mental health intact. I am required to give one star in order to post.
