When I first got there everything was okay for a while ,people where nice and welcoming. I wish this was more challenging as in (homework ,school work ,PE )I feel like teachers are just lazy even though they are trying they are not trying hard enough, some teachers can't even teach they are just talking such as Mr.magget he literally talks about personal information like why?
Mr.Topps he doesn't even look like he wants to be there no ofense but he makes art boring .Second thing the school is so boring as well as the UK it's self .Third thing the school is so unfair I don't know if its racist but I feel like it is .But either then that there are most teachers who can teach and are helpful such as ( Miss. Eildrige,Mr.Akinyoseye,Mr.Hicks,) will I miss this school definitely NOT. Oh I almost forgot about the students some of them are okay But most of them are just sooo disrespectful to the teachers I even feel bad for them. if you want your child to have a good school life don't send them here.

the slt team is an absolute mess. dish out students for no apparent reason. a lot of bullying. a lot of targeting against certain students. recently a student was expelled for 4 days for recording a conversation between him and his teacher to defend himself and let his parents
know what really goes on at school but apprently its illegal so what can students actually do against these unbelievable teachers who abuse their power? now this is going to ruin his image for when he tries to apply for sixth forms/colleges when in reality he is a highly educated student who is in top set for every subject but due to his skin complexion along with many other students teachers tend to target certain students while you have other students being disrespectful to teachers, doing questionable stuff in toilets, bullying, and overall bad attitude students being left unsanctioned which i think is highly unfair and disgusting. i advise parents not to send their child to this school as it is very depressing and highly boring.

To say I am upset is an extreme understatement! If I could leave no stars I would have. My child has been in this “school” for the past 3 years and not only has their mental health, physical health and overall life decreased so has mine dealing with the management of this so call “school”. My child has been bullied by multiple other students from this “school” as well as staff members such as Miss Morrison!

My experience was superb! I was welcomed by the lovely teachers staff and including the amazing receptionist. Unfortunately I had that one of them Ms Maria has left little did I know her but her tender support was great she treated me as if we had known each other for long. Also Mr Freeman he is a wonderful teacher who took us around and through.

Was a great school when my son joined in year 7. But since then it has seriously gone down hill my son is finally in year 11 and he honestly can't wait to leave. The teachers can't handle most children specially the ones with behaviour problems the school throws detention at kids just coz the feel like it. Children in Classes are very disruptive and don't get sent out so the children that actually want to learn can. I find alot of the staff extremely rude. If children need help the teachers don't give instead when they ask for help they get detention. And then told to do there work in detention. Good luck to any new kids going here. Would not recommend this school. They don't help the children who suffered severe anxiety in regards to hoing back to school during covid instead they throw court fines and all sorts at you. They have no compassion for those poor kids who really did suffer.

Awful school with poor organisation. I spent 5 years of my education here and was severely let down. Some teachers are great, but the lack of challenging work and the school mainly focusing on students with lower grades meant higher performing students were left alone. Few to none extra curricular opportunities. Bias and favouritism from teachers, with patronising leaders. Only had 1 sports day (across 5 years). No sports teams (minus the occasional football match). Teacher over-inflating predicted grades. Students were banned from leaving bottom floor during breaks, meaning no access to areas for studying. If you want your child to have a fulfilling education then do not send them here.

I went to this college for two years during my a levels and it was a great experience. It was a small college so the teachers gave us lots of one on one time and were very supportive.

They helped massively with my studies and now I'm at university which is far better than I ever thought I could have gone.
